Bird names

[Frolickingfoam]

I really like for a girl:

Heron
Lark
Wren
Birdie
Robin
Dove

Which do you prefer?

Oriole
Jacana
Pipit
Lark
Siskin
Lory
Tanager
Kittiwake
Cygnet

Siskin is a good one.

Cross-posted!! I even checked no-one had suggested it!

Has anyone suggested Turdus?

Oh my gosh there are some amazing suggestions on here 😂😂😂 too many to name check but safe to say I am appreciating the joke ones.

Yes I agree Wren is probably too popular. Genuinely surprised about the unanimous hate for Heron! Maybe when you know someone with a name it changes it for you. I do really like Lark.

Mavis, peregrine, starling, Jacana are all nice I think.

Mavis and Peregrine

I'm speechless

Wren or Robyn

Tori can mean bird in Japanese.

I don't dislike Heron, it just seems a peculiar name suggestion for a baby girl.
Peregrine is a boy's name. Heron is a bird's name. Ardea might be better.

From your list, I like Wren and Robin.

But there is also Jay and Raven which I quite like.

Phoenix is cute but I would personally use it more for a boy.

I met a birdie & her mum in the park once & they were both really cool 😎

Heron made me laugh too! Definitely doesn't seem like a name. Not a very glamorous bird either, somehow. They remind me of grandpas more than little girls!

Lark also doesn't sound very nice for a name. And Birdie too nickname-y.

I like Wren, Dove and Robin.

From your list I quite like Lark. Robin and Wren are OK.

Raven is also cool.

Please don't use Heron!

I think Heron is gorgeous! One of my DDs’ nicknames is Puffin, I had some very strange looks at the park once or twice. Was adorable for a toddler, not so much as a career woman now she’s in her twenties- they do grow up!

I think Linnet is a nice name.
Wren is nice too.

Lark

I have a Robin! She really suits it and it rolls off the tongue nicely.

She also has little Robin christmas tree decorations 😀😀😀
