I NEED CHICKEN NAMES FAST!!

[birdbrain1948]

hi im getting about 4-10 chickens (hens) and we are getting them very soon the coop in nearly finished! and my thinking of names is NOT very good!

ive looked up things online but none of them apart from 2 got in to a good place in my head! i got Audrey Henburn and hermoso meaning beautiful in spanish!

and as u can see i need help with names i don't really think theres a true theme to it! what makes it easier to decide

so instead of just looking at this PLEASE HELP ME

thanks for taking the time to wright something down I WILL respond to most comments and my thoughts on the names

I began by naming them after presidents' daughters, but when Jenna Bush had to be changed to Jeb Bush, and Sasha and Mileah also started crowing, I had to change strategies, so I named others by their appearance to tell them apart: Spot, Buzzard, and Skunk. With all the great names people are sending in, you'll need to have a larger flock! Good luck!

If you are wanting unusual names, how about Louis Vuitton, or Betsey Johnson, Donatella Versace, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Coco Chanel, Diane von Furstenberg and Donna Karan are other good choices

We only have two RIR and it took us a while to come up with names. One is Penny, because she's the color of a penny (a common chicken name, I'm sure) and the other is named Janet. She's also the color of a penny, but we give most of our pets "human" names. Our cat is Catherine, and our dogs are Bert, Oliver and Jade (Jade was her rescue name and we kept it). We also like Janet because we were All My Children fans back in the day, and Janet from Another Planet was a hoot. We also like saying "dammit Janet." It helps to be a little dorky when naming your animals!

I use tv names like Mary and Rhoda, Lucy and Ethel, Laverne and Shirley, mork and mindy, Janet and Chrissy, weezey, Wilona, anyone who can name all the tv shows gets extra points!

We were thinking of using the greek & roman goddess names for our chicks - we're getting two each of five breeds, so we thought we'd go with things like Diana/Artemis, Minerva/Athena, etc. Also, my kids picked Millie & Lily, and I was thinking to name them all "illy" names with different first letters, like the ducks . . .

As for the tv shows: Mary Tyler Moore, I Love Lucy, Laverne & Shirley (originally Happy Days), Mork & Mindy, Three's Company, the Jeffersons, and I kind of think Wilona was the neighbor on Good Times, maybe?

I have 49 and try to put names with the breed for example I have New Hampshire Red, Black Satin, Red Star, Ms Betty. I built what we refer to as the "condo " for the henhouse and the yard is their courtyard. Some will just naturally brings names to your head by what they do. We refer to the address here now as The Girls of 307 French Street. People are amused to say the least. Name them after family members, that tends to raise eyebrows.

We also considered names that had "Jo" as a middle name, like all the girls from Petty Coat Junction (I'm aging myself). For example, Betty Jo, Bobby Jo, Mary Jo...
