I'd be here forever if I listed all our chicken's names, so here's what we've done with the ones we got in March:
Gloria the Lavender Orpington (because her down was penguin colored, like the penguin in Happy Feet)
Eggbert the Ameraucana (named by one of our sons)
Blazekin the Ameraucana (named by one of our sons)
Barbra the Ameraucana (because she "sang" loudly like Streisand. Barbra turned out to be a boy. Good thing there are lots of drag queens dressed like Barbra!)
Cutie the Old English Game (named by one of our sons)
Belle the Old English Game (because she was dainty like a belle)
Dennis the Seabright (because he hopped a whole lot and got into things he wasn't supposed to, like Dennis Hopper)
Nigel the Columbian Wyandotte (named by one of our sons because he looks like a proper British gent)
Winston the Columbian Wyandotte (same son, same reasons)
Miss Terry the Columbian Wyandotte (she was a mystery until one hatchery -- not the one we got her from -- ID'd her for us)
Keynoter the Ameraucana (because she has a keyhole mark on her head)
Belinda the Ameraucana (because she is "linda" or pretty, in Spanish)
Barbarella the Ameraucana (because she looks like a mini-Barbra. Now watch her be a boy, too)
Agatha the Ameraucana (because she looks like Eggbert, and I wanted an "ag" name to match the "eg)
Victoria the Ameraucana (because of the deep V mark on her forehead)
Charna the Silver-Laced Wyandotte (she's all black, so her beak stood out like a big schnozz, and I wanted a Yiddish name that had the sch and n sounds in it. Charna turned out to mean "dark" so that worked)
Arnold the Buff Orpington (because he's a little roo and Arnold is buff. Or he was in his younger days!)
Matilda the White Cochin (she has a mottled mark on her forehead)
Trinity the White Cochin (she has a triangle mark on her forehead)
Dorothy the White Cochin (she has a dot mark on her forehead)
Abigail the White Cochin (she has an upside-down A mark on her forehead)
Marianne the Cuckoo Maran (Maran... Marianne...)
Himalaya the White Silkie (she looks like a yeti)
Streusel the Partridge Silkie (her face is pale like coffee cake, with cinnamon markings)
Sunshine the Partridge Silkie (her face and belly are golden)
Blackie the Black Silkie (my husband came up with this original name)
Turbanado the Partridge Silkie (colored like that special brown sugar)
Pavlova the Grey Silkie (she looks like a Russian fur hat)
Romanov the Grey Silkie (same reason)
Stefanski the White-Crested Polish (my step sister named this one, for my stepfather ... it's his last name and he's Polish and has a "beak")
Plus Violet, the Golden Comet chick we rescued yesterday and probably shouldn't have named just yet....
We also have Swablu and Altaria, two White Silkies, coming in May, plus Mariette, Marielle, and Marie-France, three more Cuckoo Marans, arriving on Tuesday.
We kinda like the chickens.
