Help Hannah Rename The Parrot Formerly Known As Bindi!

Hannah's family has told her that they don't really like the name Hannah picked out, and SHE says she's "terrible" with names (whatever!). So, I told her I'd start a thread and we'd help her get the creative juices flowing!

These criteria are preferred, but she's open to anything:

*Two Syllables

*"Unusual" Name (Not Vicki or Kaela - Darn!)

She may add more criteria as the list grows, but that's it for now!

Help her get started!

Do we know what they disliked about Bindi?

They just dont think it sounds good.
But I thought it was cute!

Hmmmm.....

Uhura might be cute for a parrot if the trek reference doesn't make you go gag
Kira
Wahine (Hawaiian for woman)


I will think on it....

Is it a boy or girl, I forgot....

Girl(:

I'm just gonna throw a bunch of names that fit the criteria out there (that I like ). If none appeal to you, could you comment on which ones you dislike and why? Even if it's just something like they sound too clunky or something sort of vague like that. It might help for name suggestions.

Charlotte
Raimi
Adel
Vanden
Dia
Rima
Nona
Hua
Kiska
Lani
Laurel
Zehra
Mirelle
Whitney

Also - I didn't look up any name meanings, if that's important to you.

Guinevere
Galadriel
Polly

Goldie

I was thinking Leena... (As in catalina) I also looked on some baby name sites and looked for tropical areas (Africa, Brazil - soemthing suitable for a tropical bird) and the one I liked was "Nyah" which is an African name that means "One with a purpose".

I'm doing what EC did... just throwing names out...

Rolo
Kissie
Sunny
BeeBee
Anya
Ara
Beaky
Loki
Hokey
Pokey
Mokey
(Sorry!)
Leila
Maylee
Sheba

Since Macaws are from South America, these have a Spanish flavor (you've got to roll the r's when you say them! LOL!):
Alma - Spanish - Full of fire or spirit. (I don't personally care for the name, but the meaning is a perfect fit!)
Alida (Uh-lee-da), or just Lida or Lita or Leeta
Chara
Chica
Querida (three syllables, but pretty when the right accent is used ) (Kay-ree-da)
Quita (kee-ta)
Ria
Rosa
Samba
Sancha

Moving on:
Gypsy
Jade
Kala
Kama
Kiwi
Kiki

That's it for now... Give us some yes's or no's. You don't even have to say why... just that it doesn't resonate with you is fine.

I LOVE picking out names!

I vote Leena and Querida, my sister had a Military named Querida.My mother's nape was named Juanita.

K I will look laak at all the names! So many!

I have:
Bindi (means little girl in Aborigine, Australian.)
Miu (means beautiful feather in Japanese, girl name) (Me-ooh, not positive on this one...I havent spoke Japanese for a couple years!)
Aya (means color in Japanese, girl name.)( Ay-uh)
Kiara
Kala
Razzle(does this sound more boyish?)
Skittles(steph calls her this sometimes cus she just sold a macaw named skittles)
Raja
Maya
Ziggy
Zada (Zay da)

I love Sassafrass!

We had a catalina come into the rescue last year that had the best name.... Crayola.

Aw thats so cute! hey how far is your rescue from NC?

I have a list of names for my future female birds, so I'm going to keep them off this list because I don't like to share. Just kidding; most of the names I've picked I think are better for smaller birds. I'll try for same names suitable for bigger birds. (Leila/Lejla/Lailah is one of my favorites for a future bird of mine.)



Adele

Aria

Cassiopia

Delilah

Dinah

Fiona

Gigi

Holly

Lilah

Ophelia

Penelope

Stella

Trixy

Zara

About a 9 hour drive

So far the most votes here are for Zada!

How about Zaza.

Just Kidding.

But seriously.
