Naming them is one of my favorite parts. I also love hearing my kids call them by their names...Not a fan of having to change their girls names to boys names though...
I had 2 Orpingtons that I name Ruth and Idgie after Fried Green Tomatoes. Of course, Ruth died. So I got a Blue Orpington and named her Sipsy. "She" apparantly now is a boy, so it's new boy name is Frank Bennett. Hopefully he's not a jerk that likes to abuses the ladies too...
We got some quail too, they are not named yet because I don't know who's boys and girls and who gets to stay, but a few have temporary names like brownie, pasty butt, quasi (that one had a rough hatch and kinda has a hunchback...not sure if it's gonna make it long term) an the 2 that I can't tell apart are Mary Kate and Ashely.
 
Ours is just a small backyard flock of 6 hens. They are our pets so they all have names. We love puns so here they are... 2 Easter Eggers: Lizzy Hennet after Lizzy Bennet from Pride and Prejudice and Chris Hensworth after the actor Chris Hemsworth. 2 Wyandottes: Our Columbian is named after the actor, Peter Falk, who played Columbo. Her name is Peter Yolk. Our Blue Laced Red is Cluck Kent, as in Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman. 2 Whiting True Blues: They are our "Star Wars" Chickens. Hen Solo and Princess Laya Eggana. We even named our coop. It is the Cluck Yeah Estates.
 
So I'm a big Bob Dylan fan...just ask my kids. Anyway, my girls are named after either a girl from one of his songs, a song title or one of his nicknames. Johanna, Ramona, Peggy Day, Terri, Isis, Maggie, Zimmy, Bobbi, Angelina and Rainy are the 1yr old hens. My kids asked if I was going with a different theme with the chicks. Nope! 😂 Louise, Queen Jane, Sweet Marie, Claudette, Twist, Fate, Annie, Sadie, Corrina, Baby Blue. And yes, I know them all very well. Lol!
