The Name Game

[Flip]

My Red Belly comes home on Saturday! Woot! His cage is all set up, I've got a travel carrier, and I'm very, very excited!! I am picking up the rental car around 9, and then I'm leaving at around 11:30 to get my baby boy. Well, my 4 year old baby boy :)

So...it's time to play the name game again! He does have a name (Eddie), but that name has a lot of (negative) connotations for me so I think I would like to change his name slightly. At 4 I don't want to change it drastically, so I still want it to have the "ee" sound at the end.

I *really* like the name Oliver (I can call him "Ollie"). If that's ok with you, of course, Janie :happy:

I'd really like him to have a name of a character/author in nineteenth-century literature. So I was also thinking Darcy, but that might be hard for him to say. I like Charlie, too.

I'm open to suggestions. He is definitely a HE (so cool to have a sexually dimorphic bird!), so I don't need to worry about finding a gender ambiguous name.

I can't wait to bring him home! I'll take many pictures, I promise!!

Here are some pictures again:

Hey, I have an Oliver too!! :blush:


He is a beautiful bird!! I love the names you have in mind: Charlie, Darcy and of course Oliver!! He looks like a Newton to me, LOL. I dont know why, it was the first thing I thought of when I looked @ him!! or a Henry. I really like Darcy though. Oooooo I love the Name Game! Cant wait to see what people suggest.

Oh yeah! Sorry! :) Hmm, the name Newton is cute too.

I'm not dead set on having a book character or author, I just thought it might be neat. So far I have:

Charlie
Darcy
Oliver
Newton

Oliver Twist , AKA Ollie Tee, or just plain Ollie? Nothin' wrong with more than one birdie with the same name around here :)

I like Charlie.....my parent's cockatiel was named Charlie and he could say his name very well, but mostly he would say Char instead of Charlie. He would say... Hi Char! I've always liked the name Charlie
