pixiexoxo Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 We named our CAG Biggles after the pilot. Purely for the fact that he loves to divebomb and isn't the best flyer about lol. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Our first bird is called Liath (Leah) which is the Irish word for Grey. Our second is called Oisin (Usheen) which was the name of the breeders son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I thought a long time about what to name my TAG, but eventually came up with the name Lyric because I think it's kind of unique, could be a girl or boy's name and I figured a musical name would be good. His official name is "Lyric Angel" although my boyfriend thinks it should be devil instead because he insists he is the devil. (they don't always get along so great!) When I used to raise cockatiels I had a Sunny and Sidney so all their babies had S names, and my parrolets were Ziggy and Zelda so all their babies had Z names. Z names are a little harder to think up though! Lyric's parents are Tarzan (because I loved watching Tarzan growing up and figured it was kind of an african sounding name) and Akasha (from Anne Rice's book "Queen of the Damned"). My other pair of greys are Isis and Osiris because I've always loved Egyptian stories! Eventually maybe I'll have a Cleopatra too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody6 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 My male was named by my too younger boys and they picked Messiah. I said that was a pretty big name for a bird. Deliliah got her name from my husband because she tempted him with her bird noises and affection. I added middle names to the birds because when I want my children's attention I call them by their first and middle name. Hence the birds names are: Messiah Matthew Deliliah Rose My cockateil's name is Sonny but that was his name when we bought him on consignment. He was nine when we got him so we kept the name. One of the finches name is Samantha (Sam for short) and I forget the other one's name. My younger boys named the finches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kllorio Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We didn't have a name for my TAG when the breeder first started sending pictures. It wasn't until she started to get her feather and my "hubby" said, "She looks like the Midnight sky, so dark you can't tell if she is blue or black." Thought that was a cool way to look at it so she is now Midnight. Hope she has a great personality to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We named our Grey "Dayo" after visiting the breeder every week and spending 2 hours each time interacting with the two clutches with 7 Greys in all. At about 12 weeks, two finally picked us as their favorites to hang with when we visited. After searching meaning different African languages for names and their meaning, we found his name Dayo, meaning "Joy Arrives". It is a unisex name so it worked even though he is a Male. He brings joy each and everyday to our lives since his birth and later coming home with us. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatB Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 That's a wonderful story, Dan. I always thought his name came from the calypso song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 LOL KatB, The Calypso song was a bonus I had forgotten until I posted on this Forum what we decided to name him. I have that song saved on my PC now as a wav file and play it at least once a week. :-) .....Daaaayyyyoooo, Daaaayyyoo, da da da dadadadada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronda477 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Good question Mark! I went through allot of names for mine lol. The breeder said her name was Heart, and I asked her why this was, and she said cause this one actually took a piece of her heart, she thought she was soo sweet! I laugh at that now lol, anyone that knows my story can surely find a giggle there lol. But I wanted to call her Sugar but than when we got her and I saw her and how much she had been through to get to us with her flight and all she took a piece of my heart as well! So I couldn't help but call her SweetHeart. Hopefully one day she will live up to that name lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlene Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I drew up a long list for the family to mull over. I so wanted Sheakspear (a way with words...)or Cromwell. Sadly I was outvoted so Gus is plain old GUS. I also have a tiel called Burt, a female ringneck (inherited) called Pete (decided not to confuse her after she had lived with a male name for years) and a gar called Sweety-Pie. I got to name Burt because when he was given to me the family were letting me do anything whilst I was in mourning over my TAG that had been killed by my brothers husky.

Nekkyousha Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Clëo's actual name is Cleopatra, have no idea why we called her that, went through loadsa names originally wanting a swahilli name :huh: she was going to be called jengo. My bf likes to call her princess every now and again, so we also looked for that in a different language but none sounded nice. I looked at a bunch of Egyptian names and it seemed the most obvious! :laugh: lol. We dont know if she's actually female yet, but thats what we assume by opinions on visual sexing, shall have her dna sexed in a couple weeks on which she'll probably get renamed to Leo haha.

brianL23 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 My grey is named Savage. I was stumped for a name for a while when I first picked him up. Well put some toys into his cage for him, and he destroyed them very quickly. I was still stumped, I was leaving for work the next morning, and I threw on my sunglasses and said goodbye to him, and he puffed up and started growling at me! So at that point he became my little Savage. I never wear sunglasses around him anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I had a long time to think of a name for my grey. The first were Cisco and Frisco, then Tallula, Sweet Pea, then Lola, my grandson still calls her Saber, but in the end after she was DNA'd and was so sweet; she became Ana Grey. It seems so right!! <br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2008/12/15 19:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goralka08 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We were lucky that we didn't have to pull our hair out for days trying to think of names for our TAG, because she is adopted from a rescue/adoption center and already had a name. Her name is McKenzie and we liked it. We call her "Kenzie" for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raposa Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I had a few names in mind when Jenna was a baby and I was visiting her every week at the breeder. "Jenna" was actually not near the top of the list, but it is the name she responded to :-) AND it means "little bird" so that works! I guess she chose her own name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhrh Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I know you may find this kinda strange but i had my cag for almost a month now and my fiance and i still didnt pick a name beacuse we wanted something to fit his character so we are waiting to get to know him a bit more,..i will let you know as soon as we name him!

zandische Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Athena was originally "Hathor" when we got her. The breeder had named all the babies in the clutch after Egyptian gods, but the cow goddess just didn't seem to fit my girl. I've always liked Egyptian and Greek mythology and since Athena was well-known for her wisdom and intelligence as well as her independence and strong spirit, I thought it a fitting name for my very strong-willed and curious parrot. She has since given herself the nickname of T-bird, which is a combination of the nicknames T-rex and Theena-bird, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 My greys name originally was "Homie" i liked Homie but my husband hated it. We had him a few days, maybe a week and I walked up to his cage and looked at him and the name "Baxter" immediately popped in my mind. It was like a light bulb went of HaHa:laugh: And now he is Baxter and I think it is a perfect fit for his personality. Every now and then he will still say Homie. Usually when I remind him of it and call him that. He hasn't forgotten it. He whispers "Baxter" but does not say it loudly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaMary Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I don't get to name the family pets - my daughter (MarytheTweet) has been doing this since she was 3 years old - and most of our pets end up with a "middle" name, too. They include Mathias Moreau (cat); Muffin (hamster - R.I.P); Kiefer and Bindi (hermit crabs - R.I.P); Shadow Sly (cat); Snowball Bubboo (albino rabbit); Maximum Nymphodora (TAG), and Tanner Logan (severe macaw). Mary's 13 now, and likes to write. I'm looking forward to novels with interesting characters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFX Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We wanted a name that was close to human. We thought it would be weird having a conversation with a bird named something goofy (my daughter came up with some odd ones). We came up with Rexxy after that cute little dinasuar from pbs cartoon "callou". He likes rexxy, rex and rexxer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
