Well they do look royal.
How about.

And
2 Lord Ferdinand

Cordon Bleu - obvious resons and if you really stretch, you can get Don out of it as in Spanish Don as a bit of a nod to rulers if not actually kings, and to the Andalusian chickens that the blue (probably) came from.

Chicken Kiev - the closest European recipe to cordon bleu which must be so because The Internet says so don'cha know... it didn't say what nonEuropean recipe might be closer.

A chicken meal in Australia is a chicken parma

Cordon is the hen that set me on having more of these breed no matter how inconvenient Welp's 25 chick minimum/5 per breed minimum was.

Thanks. Parm would be a possibility.

I don't try to name mine, just let them remind me of something. Like I have a cream legbar I call "Dot" because my grandmother had a wig that looked like her little poof when she was sick and Dot was her nickname long before I was born. Also have a 6mo cockerel I named Highlander this week because he believes "There can be only one", so he's in jail at the moment. 2 Phoenix hens different color. Gold progressed from Gold, to Goldy, to Goldy Hen. My favorite I call Red or Red girl.

Lol, I had a cream legbar I named "Jackie" because she reminded me of the Roseanne episode where Jackie impersonates her mother after finding a wig that looks like their moms hair.

...

We milked sixty some cows. All had names. Eventually, one needs to do things like accept that Elsa is actually different enough from Elsie.... something that was unacceptably close in the early years.

I would shift her name to Coradon Bleu and name him corDon Bleu.

There just aren't enough chicken recipe names if you want to get very far into breeding.

Just to clarify, I was thinking tweek the pronunciation of each - not use part of the word for their call name. Although that could work too.

Merlin would be the name for the blue cockerel if he were mine.

And Nero would be the name for the black one.

My BCM rooster was named Maurice (Chevalier)

They're both Blues. Green-band is much darker than Red-band -- which I'm told is the preferred color.

I'm usually decent at naming things, but nothing is coming readily for these two.
