What to name that chick voting, and you learn something new everyday

[BOOMchickengirl]

Naming chicks is hard enough, but even harder when it takes weeks, or months to know they gender. The only one I named right off the bat was Button. It literally popped into my head every time I looked at it, just such a little Button!
I don't want to use my favorite name on a roo I can't keep. If this sweet little thing is a girl I'm going to name her Quigley or Millie. What's your vote?
Anyone else want to add your chick pics and have others vote on the most suitable name? I think in addition to sending in pics with name options, we each post something we just learned, preferably from the day you post.

I just learned that hugging can lead to one's eyelid getting pinched between the teeth of a zipper.

I vote Millie ,,, It is also a versatile name, that if it turns out to be a rooster, just switch to Milo.
I used to name my hens chicken themed, like Nugget, Purdue, Tyson, Jenny, and so forth. I never reused a name, so soon enough I ran out of options. Had to turn to whatever name came first to my mind when I saw chicken. Such came about like Red Rider. Chernobyl, MaryJane, Sushi, Pebbles, Effiteris, Lonely, Savanah, Dyna. and so fort.
Let me give an explanation on the Chernobyl name. She was a Black Australorp bantam. When I got her she was going thru a heavy molt. Look more scraggly than scraggly. The nuclear disaster that happened in April 26, 1986 was still fresh in peoples minds. When DW First saw her, she just spoke out Chernobyl.
Mary Jane is self explanatory. She hatched on April 20th. She just celebrated 9 year birthday last week.. She is my current oldest hen now. But not the longest lived yet. That honor goes to Nugget that pulled 13 years.
Here is a pix of MaryJane I took 3 weeks ago. She is currently molting, and looks like a Naked Neck chicken. She is a Rhode Island Red.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

I like Quigley, Quig for a cockerel.
But honestly, any name will work no matter the gender. I have a hen named Vinnie, first because I thought she was a roo and secondly because my sister refused to name her kid Vinnie so I can call him Cousin Vinnie (a movie).

I have 3 Cochin Bantam chicks -- gender still unknown -- who are named Billie, Maxie and Pauly, all named for male friends who have passed away but whose names could be appropriate for hens or roos.

Millie was also on the list, with the idea that for a roo, it could be short for Millard.

I like Quigley. You don’t have to change the name if it is a cockerel or pullet. I have a hen named Johnny (I don’t know why we called her that but we did), we got her after she already started laying
She is an adorable chick, almost any name could work for her.
