Kimijean Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 She has 4 babies now but all 4 were most likely spoken for. She planned on keeping one because he needed assistance hatching and it was on her birthday. Then she had 3 friends interested in the other 3 but one friend is still trying to decide for sure and if she doesn’t take one I can have him. The parents are on more eggs but they should have started hatching by now and so far nothing. She sent me an email today and said she has decided not to keep the baby that she helped hatch on her birthday and I can have him. So I now have a baby boy!! I’m so excited!! He’s almost 10 weeks old and now I need a name for him. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Congratulations Kim. I'm a new parront myself (I've only had my baby for 4 months). Enjoy the excitement of this journey. Good luck with names. I would suggest some, but I find that names are very personal and whenever people suggested them to me they just didn't fit. The name will come to you soon enough--as well as many adventures.

Kimijean Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Jeff. Since he will most likely out live me and odds are good that he would become my sons bird, I'm letting my son help me name him. So far we have not agreed on anything.

chelseaB Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Congratulation!! You are going to have a wonderful time with your new baby! Have you seen him yet? Once you spend some time with him a name will probably come to you. Keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimijean Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Onyx as he was a bit "onyx-pected". I'll have to look up what "onyx-pected" means. LOL He's the youngest of 4 and I met all 4 when I met the breeder. But at that time she was keeping him and the other 3 have homes. Here are a couple pictures of him in the egg, one not long out of the egg, and one of all 4 but it's an older picture. ) Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A play on words for unexpected, just me having a little try at humor with a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 When I picked the name Elegua (based on a complicated desire for a cool backstory), I didn't even think that the logical nickname (Ellie) was almost exactly the same as my wife's name (Kelleigh). Which makes things a bit complicated, but it's too late... When do you bring your baby home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know yet when I'll be able to bring him home. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Well, there was a time when I had Ellie on my shoulder and, for no apparent reason, she bit my ear. Startled, I loudly exclaimed, "Dam* it, Ellie!" Kel, in a different room, yelled back, "What? What did I do now??" But I think I'd get in REAL trouble if I was caught saying, "I love you, Ellie." more often than "I love you, Kelleigh." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I could see Kelleigh getting upset over that one. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son came up with it from a TV show he likes and I like the name. ) Ask your son if he watches "Drawn Together." There's a character in that show named Zander. He's rather.....uh....."colorful". :cool: Love the name for the bird!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
