I really like for a girl:

Heron
Lark
Wren
Birdie
Robin
Dove

Which do you prefer?

The nursery thought my nephew's name was Owl. It's Hywel.
Jay
Martin
Swift
Definitely not Spotted Flycatcher or Swallow 😆

Piper, for Sandpiper?
Kiskadee is a nice bird name.

AlwaysLatte · 05/05/2021 06:57

Heron??
I think people would forever mistake Birdie for Bridie. I like Robyn - with a y is the girl's version and Robin is a boy's (I think). Wren reminds me of kitchens now unfortunately.

Wren

Undertheoldlindentree · 05/05/2021 05:51

Heron Foods ....wipes that one out once and for all.

Piper?

TatianaBis · 05/05/2021 01:33

Lark

Paloma?

Puffin after the character in “Wishfart” (he’s a puffin btw)

MajorNeville · 05/05/2021 00:58

My stepdd is called Erin, my aunt has always called her Heron. We think it's hilarious.

Edenember · 05/05/2021 00:11

Wren. Although my favourite type of bird is the white-browned tit warbler. 😳

Crocidura · 05/05/2021 00:11

Bronwen
Llinos
Gwennol

Ellmau · 05/05/2021 00:09

Lark out of your list. But I like Linnet even more.

Robin, Dove and Wren are all OK.

I really don't think Heron works for a girl.

Birdie is rather cutesy.

I think that Robin, Wren and Lark are all fine but I’d avoid your other suggestions.
Linnet is nice and what about sparrow?
Peregrine is nice but is usually a boy’s name.
Do return and let us know what you decide.

Jennyfromtheculdesac · 04/05/2021 23:57

I’ve always thought Linnet would be a nice name

Really? Even though it sounds like a tampon?

Wren and Robyn are acceptable, quite nice even. All the rest are awful.

How about Flamingo?

Happenchance · 04/05/2021 23:46

I only like Wren and Robin.

Swan, Phoenix, Teal?

ContadoraExplorer · 04/05/2021 23:39

Once had an acquaintance called Peregrine, it was a family name apparently and she was Perry for short.

MariLwyd · 04/05/2021 23:20

From your list, Robin or Wren

VenusClapTrap · 04/05/2021 23:10

Lark and Linnet are my favourite bird names. I love a pp’s suggestion of Starling!

Nellle · 04/05/2021 23:00

I know a girl called Finch, which I think is quite pretty.

Tillygetsit · 04/05/2021 22:46

I like Linnet and Rosella as suggested by pps.

Scarby9 · 04/05/2021 22:43

Lark
Robin
Wren
In that order.

I know a couple of Robins and a couple of Ravens. Raven always seems too dark and brooding to me.

FindingMeno · 04/05/2021 22:40

Birdie or Lark.
Sparrow is lovely too.

Hopeishere52 · 04/05/2021 22:38

Wren is lovely

PassMeTheWotsits · 04/05/2021 22:38

Grebe

DacwMamYnDwad · 04/05/2021 22:33

and Gwennol.
