Hawk? Pigeon? Plover? Tit?

I prefer it for a boy personally

P.s. the Kestrel I know is also female, if it helps?

And I wouldn't associate it with the beer. I'm barely aware that Kestrel beer exists tbh.

Jeippinghmip · 22/09/2018 21:24

Please don’t.

ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName · 22/09/2018 21:24

Kes for short.

YourVagesty · 22/09/2018 21:24

I know an adult Kestrel and nobody bats an eyelid. However, I live in one of the most bohemian parts of the UK so every other child is a Rainbow, Stag or a Gandalf. I therefore have no idea how acceptable it would be outside out this town.

Wolfiefan · 22/09/2018 21:23

Why would you?

toffee1000 · 22/09/2018 21:23

Nope. There are much nicer nature names for girls out there. It also sounds more masculine to me.

elQuintoConyo · 22/09/2018 21:21

I prefer Castelmain XXXX known as Ekseksekseks at Brownies.

I think you may want to reconsider this one.
