How did your bird(s) get it's name?

I have enjoyed reading all of the comments on how people come up with names. Sometimes a name comes instantly and other times we try different names out on a bird before one sticks.

Our CAG "Pluma" used to have a different name at her previous address but we didn't feel it was right for her. Since Pluma was a professional grade plucker when she arrived her plumage was in rough shape. Pluma barely had a single feather on her chest or legs that wasn't damaged so we used the Spanish word for "feather" and went with "Pluma."

We have another pair of CAGs that are just gorgeous!! I've never seen more beautiful birds! We called them "Bentley" and "Cayenne" after two high end brand names. They deserve it!!

The other pair of CAGs that we have are also beautiful and they have engaging personalities so we call them "Calypso" & "Gitana." I don't know why, "Gitana" came first and I was looking for an adventurous name that would go with the free spirited "Gitana" and "Calypso" seemed to fit.

Our Blue & Gold "Tica" got her name because the women in Costa Rica are called "Ticas." It turns out that we are not the first to come up with that name as I have come across quite a few B&Gs called "Tica."

I named Biscotti pretty much for sentimental reasons. My mom was Italian and I always loved the way she said "biscotti",

 

Biscotti is one of the names I just really liked when I saw it. I like it even more, now that I know where it came from.

I am an avid motorcycle rider that spends a lot of time on twisty backroads and at the local racetracks doing trackdays. My CAG's name is "Ohlin" which is derived from "Ohlins" which is a company that makes top notch components (Suspension) for motorcycles. lol- Even My dogs name is "Desmo" (pronounced dezmo) which is representative of Ducati motorcycles.

When I met my new baby for the very 1st time, he was completely "nude" !!! as soon as I held him the name "BELLA" popped into my head... I don't know why but just looked like a "BELLA" He was only 3 wks old at the time. I so wanted a girl *****so for the next couple wks I would occasionally call him "BELAS" but most times it was just "THE BABY" we got the DNA on 10/24/10 that "IT'S A BOY!" and I was telling my friend that I had to come up with a new name for my son that is a grey... and WHAMMMMMMMO...IT HIT me like a tornado---- GREYSON was born!!!!! -- I found a site that gives the meaning of your name and found it quite interesting:--( I looked in the forum rules and couldn't find anything against posting links so I hope it's ok)-- http://www.kabalarians.com/cfm/DisplayNameAnalysis.cfm
