What should I name my Firefish instance (lemmy.world)

I run a server https://calckey.world , which used to be CalcKey, but the software was re-branded to Firefish. Unfortunately, firefish.world is taken. What domain should I use for my new Firefish instance? Preferably a .world domain.

fedifish.world
fire-fish.world
f-fish.world

Any other suggestions? Or do you like one of the above?
