Hey everyone,
I just got a pair of irn's, and was just wondering what you guys have called your birds? I'm stuck for names lol

When I choose names I look at the character , colors ect, it also depends on if there is movie characters that I like the names of too.
We have
indie -lutino ring neck, his name was quick and easy
Mika - Alexandrian , if he turned out to be a girl it would be meika.
spike - ringneck , I hand raised him and he was all spikey when he started getting feathers, I keep calling her him.
Oscar - ring neck , he is Grey/green and was a grouch.
Skye - ring neck , she was purchased as a sky blue.
our blue male that we had was called shrek by our then 5yr old.

Chocobo- because IRN's remind me of the Chocobos (giant birds) in the Final Fantasy series.

Siren - the noise she makes sounds like a siren going off
kaly - after the indian goddess of destruction - another parrot pastime
drift - she/he is white and therefore snowy seemed too obvious thus snow drift

As in my signature:-

Kai - male blue IRN (kai means ocean/blue)
Mickey - lutino fem IRN (rescued with a blue fem I named Maude the killer couple in the movie Mickey & Maude - maude went to a breeders, kai fell in love with mickey)
Jordan - Lutino male IRN after Michael Jordan the basketballer (sons bird,now family bird)
Pickle - Green Male IRN (I handraised this one he looked like a pickle as his green pins where coming in)
Jasper - male lovebird (comical bird so named after Jasper Carrot)
Stella - female budgie (she didn't shut up so after the movie a street car names desire when brando screamed "Hey Stella!")
Peaches - male lovebird (came with this name rescue prob coz of the colour on his face)
Kiely - female cockatiel (my eldest liked this name, she also believes tiels should have names like tiely kiely etc. lol)
Cornellius - female cockatiel (rescued from a tree at my mums) son named it coz its a lutino (yellow like corn) it gets corny most of the time
Billy & Bell - Quaker parrot pair - now at breeders for proper breeding named after Billy Graham and his wife Ruth Bell evangelist christians.

Smokey - because of his grey color

Jibby - Originally 'Gilbert'/'Gibbs'/'Giblet' because he liked grapes alot when I got him, and he was a little erm 'slow'.. Gilbert Grape from the movie.. ?? lol, but over the years, the name has morphed into just 'Jibby' or 'Gibby' and now he knows his name as this, even says his own name.

Lola - Originally Yoda, (my bf liked it), but she turned out to be female and shes not the wisest like Yoda from Star Wars, Jibbys more of a wise old owl. She already knew her name as Yoda, so I found a name that sounds similar. Lola.

How I come up with names I dont know! haha.

My guy is named Merlin, I just liked it and it seems to fit. I always say to him...Merlin the magic magician! and he says "What?"

Bird - lovely lutino
Flossie - also lutino
Freckles - turquoise (originally called him Breeze but he has little green spots on his blue feathers)
Summer - green baby because she looks like the colour of grass in summer time.

I have 7 IRN's and i still don't have names for 2 of them but the rest are
Indy- after Indianna Jones (male blue)
Asha- For colour (male grey)
Sunny- For colour (my hubby liked it, unsexed Lutino)
Petey & Penny- (5 year old Lutino breeding pair, male was already called Petey so i named the hen Penny after Penny on LOST LOL)
Now i just have to find names for my 3 year old breeding pair of greens!!!!

our birds are+
Riku-green male, dont know why larissa named him
Kieron - blue male , his name was bluey when i got him but he looked more like a kieron he also answers to carebear
gen jen - possible blue female was originaly named general for her marching
orchid silver female the name just felt right
& skeet who ive been told by a breeder is either a girl or a very *** boy from her behavour i couldnt tell you how i got the name i was going to call her thai (to fit in with her mums name(orchid)
or eilish a good irish name to got with her father (kieron) but i just kept calling her skeet so it stuck

we also have 3 cocatiels - soarer scarlett &skyler the kids name them so i coult tellyou why

^^ Riku and Sora are characters from Kingdom Hearts (a video game my kids have) I am thinking your kids got the names from there, unless it is just a weird coincidence!

My lutino is Captain Jack Sparrow. From "Pirates of the Caribbean"
Just Jack for short.
He definitely has the " pirate swagger" going on!

My IRNs are.....
Spongie, aka Sponge-Bobette- Lutino. named coz she had splayed legs and a piece of sponge was used to correct the problem.

Jasper- another Lutino. My first ever IRN and at handraising. Needed a unisex name and that was it!

Wboy, aka W@nkerboy - a grey. Was named by previous owner and I shortened it to WBoy.

Junior 'G'- a green. Was a nickname that has stuck. lol S/he is one of my last years clutch hence the name "Junior" and "G" for green.

Blue Widow- a blue. Didn't have a name until her partner died last year.

Sun Conures....
Sunny and his girl Connie together they make SUNNY CONNIEr and hopefully make lots of little suns

Sticky Beak- Rainbow Lorikeet. Because he just HAD to know what I was doing ALL the time and climb all over me.

Cockatiels.....
Sindel- Lutino. Was named by previous owner

Molly- Whiteface Pearl. Named her Molly as she is a pearl and pearls come fom moluscs

Gemma- Whiteface Platinum. Her name came from gems in jewlery that is sometimes made from platinum.

My guy is called Spit. no idea why. my boyfriend wanted a bird and he wanted to call it Spit. very wierd yes. I have two rats named Patrick and Sidian (a.k.a Sid) though

Only one bird atm. Hopefully that will change. ;D His name is Skywalker. My husband and I are both Star Wars fans. We bought him as a blue (same bird in my sig) and now he's a turquoise! started growing green feathers about 5 months after I got him. I was thrilled, as turquoise is my fav IRN color. XD So now Sky isn't as 'sky blue' as he used to be.

Ok Guys
I now have names for my green pair
Girl is Angel and the Boy is Batista
I am a huge Dexter Fan, so named them after "Angel Batista"
(not after the wrestler lol)
Weird for some maybe
Now i have to get another pair i can call Masuka & Dex lol

we also have a chihuahua named Corona he came with the name but we couldn't have picked better for him

We get our baby in about 3 weeks from now. It will be a male.
We chose his name because we are kinda Disney Freaks.
"Zazu" is his name.

I will post a picture as soon as I re-review how to do it.

blue and white IRN we think female, is sue
our cockatiel's name is chicken
our rosella we call rainbow bright or little red riding hood, but a name has not stuck with her yet
and our new boy is nameless. on the breeder certificate he was coined cosmo but i think he will be named something else. i want a very man's mans name. all macho. oozing with testosterone name since he is the only male (hopefully male) pet i own LOL

newest additions to my house are
pickle named after my daughters fat6her as i bought him the day mick died
& mutley an olive scaly breasted lorikeet coz he plays like a dog
who hasnt moved in yet but will be here sopon

Well, here's the names of my flock:

Vango - Meyers Parrot (most dense population in the wild is Okavango Delta in East Africa

Ziggy and Zazu - Meyers Parrot pair (they've done nothing for me, yet . . . bought them as a pair. I didn't name them)

'Nilla - Single Factor Turquoise Lacewing IRN (nilla wafer)

Fiona - Cinnamon green IRN (she's apple green, so Fiona Apple - but I usually call her Finoni)

Columbus - green IRN (when we met him, he was almost two months old and not clipped. he took off flying - EXPLORING - named after Christopher Columbus)

Blue Poo - American parakeet (he's powder blue and white fallow. I wanted to name him blue, but my 7 year old son wanted to name him poop . . . so we compromised!)

Pickle - American Parakeet (not a bit of green on this bird. My son named him! He's charcoal and peacock blue)

Eco - I got him during green week and everyone was talking about being Eco friendly. I thought it sounded like a good name.
