Chicken Names- whats your chickens name?

Currently I have 7 chickens: a mixed breed rooster named Brewster; a RIR: Henny Penny; an EE: Lily; a Buff Orp: Goldie; a Buff Orp: Meeha; a Black Australorp: Silkie (because she is softer than the others), and a mixed white hen : Candy.
 
I have 2 roos, 6 hens, and 6 chicks.
Barnyard mix bantam roo: Foghorn
Wheaton Ameraucana/EE roo: Arlo
Black sex link hen: Amelia
Silver laced Wyandotte hen 1: Pearl
Silver laced Wyandotte hen 2: Kramer
Silver laced Wyandotte hen 3: Broody
Silver laced Wyandotte hen 4: Broody
Silvery laced Wyandotte hen 5: Brody
The last 3 look so much alike that I don't know who's who!
My 6 pack of chicks I hatched out:
Light "buff" boy: Hulk aka Drama Queen
Grayish "buff" boy: Gray
Black and yellow boy: Little Roo
Platinum blonde girl: Little Helen (after her aunt Helen (RIP)
Black feather footed bantam with brown face girl: Monkey
Black and white girl: Ugly Duckling
 
Wow.. This is going to sound random, but this "season" all my chicks are named after flowers or botanists...
I have so far:

Tomitaro Makino (Makino for short)-- A black tailed white Japanese bantam cockerel.
Solomon's Seal (Solomon for short) -- A Buff Old English Game bantam cockerel
American Lotus (Lotus for short) -- A Buff Old English Game bantam pullet
Iris missouriensis (Iris for short) -- A Blue old English game bantam pullet
Joe Pye-Weed (Joe for short) -- A Blue old english Game Bantam Cockerel
Tiger-- A speckled turken pullet
Lily -- A white Turken pullet.
Cutleaf Daisy (Daisy for short) -- A polish pullet
Pasque-Flower (Pasque for short) -- A blue Muscovy duck.

(WIll probably edit to add later the other names as I find them.)

We are making progress on naming our 16 - still need to get a few named but so far have:

the "grandma birds" (named after grandmas/great grandmas from both sides of the family)
Eleanor - light brahma
Hazel - EE
Shirley
Jo
GG
Diane
Doris (these last five are for sure names, just not given to a particular chick yet)

the "starlets" (movie/tv show names)
Fat Amy - buff orp - AKA "Big Bird"
Mrs. Patmore - buff orp
Elsa - light brahma

and:
Nugget - buff orp
plus chickens 1-5, lol -- as yet un-named - I am becoming increasingly unable to deny we have at least one roo (EE) so am debating naming him or replacing him (with a pullet)
 
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.
