Names? Opinions/votes welcome!

[Acre4Me]

17 chicks and 6 breeds. 3 weeks old. Personalities are beginning to show up - of course as they mature, this may change, but we are wanting to name the chicks and have come up with some ideas.

1. Easter Eggers: They have muffs and look like they may get the "beards" so the 11yo wants to name them dwarf names from the Hobbit. Here are the choices right now (character images from Imgur) Yes, Galadriel is an elf, but the EE is staying quite light:

OK, which one? I vote for Bombur, but child seems to like the "Fili and Kili" names for the 2 birds - I'll never keep them straight.

The Dark Brown Leghorns (Straight run) are very fast and really hard to catch, so here are the possibilities:

The Black Jersey Giants (Straight run) definitely have a larger frame already, and those legs are larger than all the rest! They are pretty calm birds. Here are the possibilities:

The other 3 breeds haven't really shown particular personality traits nor have we been struck by any names that would fit, so we are waiting to name those other 7 chicks.

What fun name options!

I like:

• Galandriel, Fili and Bombur (The chick in question looks like a Bombur to me. And with the characters prodigious set of whiskers and muffed and bearded bird seems like a perfect fit!)

• Sonic, Dash, Rocket, Pronto, Razzle (Runner up: Speedy). If Fili and Kili will be a pain to keep straight, than I imagine Dash and Flash will be tricky too.

• If you are leaning toward Juniper from your original choices I would use Hercules (feels like a more benevolent protector for the flock than Zeus). I am really digging @Nardo 's suggestion of Xena & Hercules!

Hope you'll post your other chicks and name themes/possibilities. Mulling over naming is fun!

We like: BJG Jupiter and Mars (or Xena and Hercules)
Brown leghorns we like all the names you have plus Buzz and Mario
No vote on the elves (dwarfs)

Love your theme! I think I am going with a chicken menu theme. I have one named nugget, another drumstick, then I am going to use

Lemon
Cashew
Orange
General Tso (a Roo)
You get the idea lol

I saw this recently - thought you'd get a laugh! It is a metal sign.

Totally fili and kili!! Are you going to have a gandalf? Don't do frodo unless the chick is really wimpy

So we've been polling here (locally) too.

Kids here are loving the Dark Brown leghorn names of: Flash, Dash, Wildfire, Pronto, Razzle, (with Rocket a close additional choice).

Black Jersey Giant names: Jupiter is the absolute fav for a girl. Split votes between Hercules and Zeus for a boy.

Easter Egger: Vote between Kili and Bombur is still equal - no clear winner.

The other 3 breeds still have random ideas thrown around. I think they might take a little longer.

I like Zeus and Kili

Gandalf - Maybe if one of the EE is a boy - or turned out gray or white colors. Frodo didn't even come up as an option - too clean cut for these chicks!

I love the hobbit theme! If my Hubby would let me I would probably do a Harry potter theme! Haha.
