One note: I’ve seen a lot of restaurants with 魚魚 in the 
name, read as とと.
(More rarely 魚々, and in other cases it’s read as うおうお or 
ぎょぎょ.)
I’d class this as a common 義訓/wordplay (とと is a 
reduplicative word for fish, hence 魚魚), and don’t think we 
should note it in the entry (as 魚魚[iK] or [uk]), but I 
wanted to make a note in the comments, and mention it in 
case there are other opinions!

* Add -ie, since childish.
Saw とと on 2 fish restaurants (in Tokyo).

BTW, this word is not universally known; it might be a bit 
old-fashioned or dialectical.
An employee at one store (in Tokyo) stated that とと was 
Kansai dialect (well, at least the boss was from Kansai), 
which looks incorrect (based on dicts and other use), but 
indicates lack of familiarity with the word.
