What did you name your chicks?

i have some RIR hens my daughter named them all ellie which is her name(shes 4) and the 3 meaties im raising she knows they are dinner so they dont have names'
 
We named our Buff Orp Mae [West] because she's a blond and has quite a chickie "bosom", we named our Australorp Ella [Fitzgerald] because she's got quite a set of lungs on her and is the loudest peeper. Our 15 other Sussex have various little old southern lady names.
 
We have:
Amapolla: EE
Calyx: BO
Calliope: BA
Epiphany: Speckled Sussex
Ginkgo: Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Honeysuckle: Bearded D'uccle Bantam
Peony: Dominique?
Periwinkle: Barred Rock
and two foster chicks that we don't get to name

Great site, Olive! I was looking at Irish names and their meanings (ie. Aileen - noble, Caitlin - courage) but I really do love the wonderful traditional names! Hortense and Pickles and Hatty and Wilma... How can they NOT be chicken names, lol!

Just got my first peeps yesterday (5 ees, 6 rocks and 5 cochins). Should prolly start on the coop

, but I think I'll hold off naming them until I see their personalities a little better. Ain't this FUUUNNNN!?!?! One friend suggested I stick the names on a roost and see where each one preferred to sit. Hmmmm...

DH just came out and asked what I was doing; told him I was talking to other 'chicken-ers'

He just winced and shook his head, lol. He'll come around! He did for the 3 dogs, a cat and two horses, ALL rescues! After all, he considers himself a rescue...

Lets see. Our chicks names are: (the stuff in the parentheses is why we chose that name)
Airborne (The chicks were shipped here by air so of course we had to name one airborne)
Alaska (I would imagine Alaska is gorgeous just like my little girl;))
Comet (She kept jumping off my arm and falling to the ground like a shooting star)
Fluffet (She was fluffy)
Jumper (This one is self explanatory)
Luna (I just thought it was a pretty name)
Penguin (Barred rocks resemble baby penguins as day-olds)
Pipsqueak (She is the runt of my flock)
Tabi (named after my best friend)
Tess (It's short for giantess)
Whitefeather (She was the first chick with a white feather)

And our lil boy's full name is Epic Epidermis (It's an inside joke) and ep-ep for short.

My 14y/o daughter named 5 out of our 6.

and I named the runt “I am become death, destroyer of worlds”.

We’re kind of an odd family I guess...
