The more I say Nkusu out loud, the more it seems to grow on me, so maybe I will be ok. Nkusu comes from a language spoken in the Congo, so that seems so fitting for a congo grey. :-) Kasuku is Swahili.

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum, this is my first post! :-) I am having some issues with naming my new Grey. He/She is set to come home the end of next month or so. Here's the problem. I had $ down on a grey and there was a tragedy at the aviary and my grey didn't make it. :-( (No illnesses or anything, just a sad accident). That grey's name was to be Kasuku. I am getting another grey from the same place, but am not sure about the name now. I thought about naming it Nkusu (both mean parrot in different African languages). Problem is, I like the name Kasuku better, but it feels so cold and unfeeling to name the new bird after the first baby. But I am afraid that if I name it Nkusu I will always regret not giving it the name that I truly loved. I am thinking maybe Kasuku II? What do you guys think? What would you do in this situation?
