I've made a list of favorite Cajun/Creole names for the rest. I just have to assign the names.
I love seeing everyone's chicken names!!
 
This looks fun. Here are mine's names:

Laced Brahmas: Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, Charlotte and Emily Bronte
Silkies: Dr. Suess, King David, Phyllis Wheatley, Pop-Pom, Baby, and Emily Dickinson
Buff Orpingtons: Laura Ingles, and Rose Wilder
Speckled Sussex: Mark Twain, Hellen Keller, Flora Thompson, Janett Oke, Jane Austen

I love reading, so I named them all after authors

My "Big Girl Ladies are all Barre Rocks:
Mimi (named by my youngest)
Ilyana (named by my oldest son)
Cindy Lou Who (named by my German exchange daughter)
Royal (hey...I'm from Kansas City)
Missy (short for Miss Adventure...this sweetie gets in more trouble, and finds herself in the strangest situations...)

My Littles are 5 weeks for 2 and 3 weeks for one. They are all girls.

Henrietta ("Henny" is a black austrolope)
Penelope ("Penny", a RIR)
RockStar ("Rocky," another Barre Rock..she was the only one left, and I felt sorry for her...she rules the baby roost, and is half the size of the other baby girls...so cute!)
 
I finally thought of names for two of my Crested Cream Legbar chicks. Buttercup and Wesley.

But that leaves me stumped for the other two females, since there aren't too many other female characters in that movie. I'll just have to wait and see what comes to mind, the way Buttercup just popped in there.

First off that's great! (Though it is Westley). Yeah the only other female characters are Valerie (Max's wife) the Queen and Mother. Latrine came to mind but one that's a horrible name and two it's from Robinhood Men in Tights.... But speaking of that you could use Marian for one. I was looking for other romantic movies Cary Elwes is in and there isn't much, he was in Ella Enchanted as the Prince's greedy uncle Edgar, so you could use Ella. Or think of movie's like The Princess Bride: Stardust, Shrek, The Neverending Story.

Or you could go with other flower names. Marigold, Primrose, Petunia, Pansy, Daisy, Violet, Lily, Lavender, Lilac, Blossom, Briarose....

Ha Ha! I started to put the t is Westley, but it didn't look right for some reason! Thanks for the other ideas. Yesterday I was googling every variation of "medieval female names" I could think of. I kind of like Ella. I'll have to roll that one around a while. My SIL's dog is Ellie, but she probably wouldn't care what my chickens' names are. Maid Marian is already on my list! (Westley was almost called Robin.) Alas, I've already used Fiona and Valerie for parakeets... Plus I don't really want a chicken named after "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!" Some kind of buttery or creamy names might be nice, too, to go with Buttercup, and the fact that they are Cream Legbars.

I only remembered about the t when I was looking it up ;) Great minds, yeah Valerie also sounds a bit snooty for a hen too. If one was portly you could call her Broomhild but that seems more appropriate for a Partridge Cochin lol. Not sure why I'm partial to Buttercup, Marigold and Primrose, I guess just the compound flower names. Daisy's a bit more buttery than Prim though. Creamy names hmmm. Let us know what you decide :)

I realize a few days ago when my son chose Snowflake as a name for his White Rock that we had inadvertently made a little theme. My Welsummer is Cornelia but I call her Cora and I call his chick Snow for short, Snow and Cora are names of characters from Once Upon A Time, but I know I would never get my husband to name her sweet Light Brahma Regina, it doesn't fit her anyway and we have a niece named Emma so that's not going to happen.
