I struggled a lot with names as I haven't had kids yet and refuse to use my favourite names. I wanted something that wasn't too common, sounded ok if I had to call them, suited them and wouldn't turn me totally vegetarian. In decided an opera theme was the way to go as my coop is called Fowl Play. Also, I love opera, and it will make naming future hens easy. In the end I decided to call them:
Linde - Short for Woglinde
Hilde - Short for Flosshilde
They are two of the Rhine maidens from the operas in Wagner's Ring Cycle. The are the guardians of the Gold and as my chickens are Golden laced Wyandottes, I think this works well. I was in the ring Cycle recenty too so it has personal meaning to me.
