What names do you give your birds?

We choose themes our most recent theme is old lady names. We have Cornelia Millicent Dorothy and Elouise

Our theme is dinosaurs. My first hen I had years ago, I named Raptor. Now my husband and I have Rexy and Ptera.

Some are themed, but most are nameless until they tell me their name

Oh the lessons learned from first flock to now. First thing I did wrong was to get all same breed. Whoops, kids wanted to name them but when you can't tell them apart it doesn't work very well. So they were Chicken, Chicken, Chicken, Chicken, Chicken. Now I try to make up for it by letting my adult son name them. That's why I have JQuelen, DNice, ASAPRocky, 2Chainz, FittyCent and Purple Drank, LOL. All hens.

I like the old lady names too.

I do not name my chickens. I did name my pigs. I named them Ray and K.C.

[The Welch Chickens]

Ours are named with a nature theme and sometimes by their looks.

Willow, Pepper (she's black and white), Pebbles, Storm, Cinnamon, Dandelion (named for her fluffiness!!), Buttercup, Lavender, Misty, Fern, and Spitzy.
(Spitzy was going to have a nature themed name, but we started calling her "Little Spitzy" and it just stuck; she's a spitzhauben )

Porkchop is another good name for a pig.

I have a theme for roosters. Either an army title or a royalty title.
For example I’ve had Prince, Duke, General, Admiral, Captain, Brigadier, Squire, but there were 2 exceptions - Rusty and Leonardo DaVinci.
Hens i name whatever. I have a Duckling - coZ she was the size of a duckling when she hatched! I had a Pet - because I couldn’t think of a name and started calling her that. I loved her to bits. RIP Pet Daffy too.. RIP baby hen
I have Rogue, Milky, Raven, Taffy, HennyPenny, Holly… Strawberry, Coco, Cream, Rosie, Acorn… I could go on…
