Not for an actual baby though Grin. I'm writing a short story and would quite like the main (female) character to have a bird name.

So far I can only think of Robin, or the surnames Sparrow and Nightingale

Surname Swift is lovely.

And swifts are such amazing birds. They never stop flying on their migration from Africa to Europe, they even sleep in the air.
