Penguin for a girl?

[Cereal0ffender]

Or is it more of a boys name?

Humboldt! I like it! If I had a baby boy tomorrow, that'd be his middle name, no messing.

Definitely a boy's name. Staying with the bird theme, I'd suggest that 'Thrush' is very girly. Generally.

And if the first name was Baron, that would be perfect, Gilbert.

Only middle name Gilbert? Sadly I don't think I'll get to use it as DH claims that anymore DC would kill him.

Poor man. High blood pressure or was it the breast feeding? Back pain?

Ah(nods head), the Brythonic connection littledidsheknow

I believe the Spanish derivation is Sanguine

JumpJockey in Oxfordshire? The owner of the Annabelinda shop in Oxford had a daughter called Puffin...

I like it

I see a life time of name-calling.
Poor child.

We did consider guillemot but worried she might be teased

As a child I vaguely knew a Guillemot Farqueharson. Teased unmercifully in youth, grew in to it as an adult. Very commanding name if I may say so.
Male though
Very pretty younger sister called Sanderling iirc, but she disappointed when she married into a minor branch of the Gloucestershire Sparrows and called her first born Jane. Oh well.

Lweji

I see a life time of name-calling.

In particular cold callers. Brrr.

I think Pingu would be the nn.

Ping for a boy, leeds2, Pinga for a girl.

*Pingu

Booby and Chough are a bit more classy.

I like it for a middle name. I'm considering Tarquinius Penguin. Not sure it has sufficient gravitas for a first name?

Another in Wales here. Yep, it would be Pengwyn and would mean whitehead. Nice.

I genuinely can't quite work out if this is a wind-up or not

Yes -welsh origin -pengwyn for a boy pengwen for a girl. Lovely name OP -wish I'd used it-regret using rather popular names for my DDs-go for it!

Guillemot would have to be pronounced "Geemo" naturally

Aside: I know an Otter, a Panda, a Badger and a Lark. All humans.

Really Poirot?
I suppose you need to let it unwind to find out. also pointing out to OP's 3rd post

I've always thought this is a lovely bird.

Would be a very pretty name for a little girl, no? Also fits in with the how/where conceived theme

Waddle load of rubbish
