siobha9 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 My vote is for Dorian. I know we have 2 Dorians on this forum already, but that doesnt make the name common, it just makes it extremely clever! I wish I had thought of it when naming my 2.... oh well I will just have to call my next grey Dorian :lol: :lol:
Sevi Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Hmmm.... I'll vote again for Greeley... and runner up for me would actually be Blanford. Primarily because I have never, ever heard Blanford B)
judygram Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I like the name of Phoenix and it could be for a boy or a girl but I agree with the end of the name sounding like e is easier for them to say, just like my Josey is e sounding and she can say it very well.
Pchela Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Wow! Well, my first choice was Gandalf because I'm also a huge geek! I've loved those books since I was about 8 or so! And Gandalf the Grey is just so perfect! But, it is common for a Grey and I don't know the sex yet. The e sound makes sense for ease of pronunciation. Little kids always start with those sounds. I think I'll do a google search for Phoenix African Grey and see how many there are. I like the way Greeley sounds but I can't find out if it actually means grey meadow or green meadow. There seems to be some confusion. I kind of like Riardan right now just because of the meaning. Maybe if I name him minstrel he'll/she'll be a good talker!
spookyhurst Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I really like Gandalf, even if it is kind of common. I think it's okay for a girl too. I suggested Keegan in another thread on naming a grey. It means little fiery one. I used to have a conure, and almost used this name because it really fit his personality. I ended up going with Jesse James, which was also a perfect fit for the little outlaw. Poor guy was bird for the first 6 months though, because I had trouble deciding. I though about Schuyler (or Skyler) too. My TAG is named Nikko, and is a girl. People often comment on why she has a boy's name. However, the woman that owned her before me named her that, and thought she was a girl (I DNA tested to find out).
Pchela Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Oh... I like Keegan as well... could be for a boy or girl and cool meaning. It's going on the list! Thanks!
spookyhurst Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Sterling is also another "grey" name. Besides it's silver meaning, it also means little star.

Pchela Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 I like Sterling. I didn't know that it meant little star! This poor bird is never going to get named.
Lovelylew Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Of the names listed, I like Griswold. I also like Grady as someone suggested.
Pchela Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Well, all of my other animals are named after favorite characters so I've decided to do that. I have Yoshimi the cat, Maeby the cat and Peregrin(pippin) the Senegal. Here are some of my favorite characters that have cool names. Gandalf the Grey Floyd - Grey Haired (Pink Floyd of course) Bard- Minstrel, singer, poet --- Killed Smaug Gwaihir – wind lord (eagle in LOTR) Ithilien – Moonland Ithil – moon Pellenor – fenced land Rune- Secret Lennon (John) Nicodemus – Secret of Nimh Ambrosios - Sir Didymus’s mount in Labyrinth Adelei – Noble kind. (Adelei Niska from Firefly Early (Jubal Early) from Firefly Simon – Firefly Atherton Wing - Firefly Krycek - X files Kenobi duh those are some of them. I really like Adelei and Nicodemus a lot. I don't know if Nicodemus could be unisex. Thoughts?<br><br>Post edited by: Pchela, at: 2008/06/12 22:54
Pchela Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Oh, I also quite like Maxwell as in Maxwells Silver Hammer but my friend's son is named Maxwell. Any other Beatles names anyone can think of?
Sevi Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Beatles name: Eleanor, but definitely not unisex. Although you could always do Rigby... Rigby could be unisex. Hurry up and name your baby Pchela!
Pchela Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Ohhhh... Rigby is good! I'm really trying! I just want it to be perfect you know! This grey is going to have this name for a long, long time!
Pchela Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 I also found Jude Desmond Edison (Maxwell Edison) Prudence I quite like Jude. Prudence said it was unisex... Edison sounds masculine to me. Not sure about Desmond.
Sevi Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 My guy is named Edison... I took the chance he was a guy and lucked out... haha... Though he was not named after Maxwell, but Thomas. Desmond sounds masculine to me too. Jude is cute. Funny that was not the first beatles name to come mind.<br><br>Post edited by: Sevi, at: 2008/06/13 00:23
Pchela Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Oh...we already have an Edison then. I also like Harrison but we already have one of those as well. I guess it doesn't matter but I don't like to steal people's names!
Sevi Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Oh you could name him Edison if you want. I was just saying it's a masculine name. It's a compliment for me if you do .
BMustee Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I like Rowan, Rigby and Greeley. Don't feel bad. I got Elmo in May of 07 and didn't name him until December!!!
Pchela Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Really? Cool! It's back on the list1 My poophead of a husband just said he didn't like Jude!!! And it was looking like my favorite. No wonder I'm having so much trouble.
BMustee Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Hahaha, I wanted to name Elmo Stalin originally because of his "evil" humor but my b/f was like "you might as well name him Hitler!!! That name is blackballed" I say let your grey name himself. I figure it might have taken me longer than the industrial revolution to name Elmo, but at least the name fits! Don't presure yourself...the perfect name will come to you...eventually! hahaha
