I dont know if this has already been done but being nosy I wondered wat sort of names you all gave your birds.

Mine are named after ancient gods for the most part, I have Freya, Juno, Minerva, Lido, Venus, Ursula, Athena and Zeus. The others have ordinary names - Bella, Nugget, Eddie and the Twins (my two light sussex hens - called the twins because I can't differentiate that well!).

I used to have a pair of hens called Polly and Peck and I know a chocolate Lab called O.B.E said  like OBE one Kanobie in Star Wars because the owners father had just received an O.B.E. I've met a Romeo and Juliet (cat and dog) and two black Labs called Black and Decker.  I once knew a girl called Crystal who married a Mr. Clear. Finally my schooldays sewing teacher was called Miss Button. Sorry it's a bit off the track but aren't names fun?! :D

We don't have wierd names, just weird reasons behind them eg 2 of our ex batts had combs that leaned to one side and OH said they were wearing them at a jaunty French angle, they then became Dawn and Jennifer (French&Saudners.. see weird!)

We also have Daisy, Pip not sure if this is a Philip or Philipa, Rusty, Dot, Sandy, Snowy, Minnie, Tiny and Wiggy (still looks like her head needs to mature)

Ducklings yet to be named
3 dogs now, 2 passed RIP Poppy and Paige, one wonderful husband and a new adventure on this wonderful island

  Well when I was researching breeds I read somewhere that Polands were considered the Royalty of Chickens because of their feather top.  So when I went for names I went for Queen names ... Victoria, Elizabeth and Mary (they were all crowned due to heredity and not due to marriage)

  Wanting to get more think I will name them Anne, Jane, and Katherine ( Henry VIII's wifes names... poor women)

My first flock was named after characters in Coronation St ( don't ask  my hubbys choice) The second lot is named after the people on Loose Women again hubbys choice. I don't mind him deciding on the names as long as i can carry on adding to them. :) :)

First 5 were to be named after celestial bodies, Luna, Venus, Star, Galaxy and sons choice Uranus (typical14 year old toilet humour) so when the cockerels went we decided to change 2 names to Dotty and Georgie after my Mum and her sister.  Sadly all 3 were taken by the fox/badger.

Now we have, Tallulah, Tinker, Star, George and Drama Queen (Queenie) in one coop and Poppy, Pansy and the Sablepoots known as the babies at the moment in the other.

Our rabbits are Tiger, Fuifui and her sister Moimoi (named after a rugby league player) and baby Bella or Jacob (don't know the gender yet) Eils likes Twilight ::)

Then there's Merlin, Pandora, Loki and Freya the cats and Frisky the snake :D

Think every ones there
May this day be blessed with gifts, understanding and friends.  Merlin 2001-2012 Pandora 2001-2013 xxx
