A bird came to me.

I caught a female indian ringneck parrot on my roof last week. Oh, sweet bliss! $\:D/$

It looks almost identical to this picture:

Can y'all help me name it? My family is having a hard time deciding on a name.

What about Zaxpy? $\:D/$

Uhm... Lemme see... It looks as if Zach would fit him. Oh wait. Is it a him or a her or not gender specific?

It's a girl...males have a black ring coloring around their necks. Zach would be cute if it was a boy.

are you sure that you dont wish you were princess fiona so that birds would explode when you sang to them?

You should name it Angel! It's an awesome name for a bird! Really.

Of course not, you silly boy.

Then all the birds would be scared of me and would never flock to my house!

Angel wrote:You should name it Angel! It's an awesome name for a bird! Really.

That would be really cute.

But, if I named it after a ToOer, then I'd have to name it after every ToOer!

That wouldn't work though....it'd be too long.

Just Angel would be cute.

Ah, a girl. Uhm... Why not Jaycee? $\:D/$

Rainbeaux. I taught a girl with that name. $\:D/$

I watched a show with a guy with that name...I don't know how it was spelled, though.

You could name the bird Mrs. Nietchew! $\:D/$

You could name it Danike.

....

Sorry, I am fresh out of normal-ish names.

Danielle Abigail Maxwell · Wed Nov 12, 2008 7:32 am

Zippy....

LiLi (Kaiulani, a Hawaiian Princess)

Sissy

Penelope... that sounds too sofiticated for a bird like that...

Gretchen...

I'm out of names.

The name Whisper, may fit its rare beauty.

Bob! $\:D/$

Oh, it's a girl?

Bobette! $\:D/$

Breezy! The perfect name for a bird! $\:D/$

I think that might be the perfect name for all the lost pet bluejays that I'll catch next time.

Well, our ringneck is only 2/7ths of the Rainbeaux...so that name is somewhat inaccurate (though beautiful, and I hope that your Rainbeaux graduated from swimming lessons successfully).

Mrs. Neitchew would be very cute, except it makes me think of an old lady, and this bird is fairly young...the band on her leg said that she was born in '97.

What a very lovely and non-normal name.

Í'll have to tell that one to my family for consideration.

I think of a boy when I hear the name Zippy.

I have a cousin named Lili...I don't know what she would think if I named a bird after her. $\:D/$

One of my favorite movies.

But, yah, a little bit too sophisticated.

Hmmm...she's too exciting and loud for a Gretchen. That name makes me think of all the cute little girls at my church named "Agnes"," "Hesper," and I think we do have a Gretchen too.

Good suggestions, DAM.

It's a girl...but it might be scarred for life if I named it "Bobette."

Nerds wrote:Breezy! The perfect name for a bird! $\:D/$

That is super cute!

Man...I gotta go and convince my parents to let me take your guys' suggestions. They want to name it "Tikka"...because it's an Indian Ringneck, and "Chicken Tikka" is an Indian dish. I'm not too terribly excited about that name, but hey, they're open to new suggestions, and so that's why I'm asking you guys.

Hmm... yeah, picturing that cute birdie turned into tikka masala is kinda creepy. But I like the idea of using an Indian derived name. Some names from some googled indian name site listed as having the meaning "bird" are:
Kanjri
Maina
Manali
Talika
Tiya

I think I like the last two, and then no one will want to eat her.

Wow, I'll have to consult you next time I never need to name any animals, Darcie.

*brings names before family panel*

The name "Tiya" is really cute...and it makes me laugh, because we used to babysit some little special-needs boys who had a next-door neighbor with a little yappy dog named Tiya. The boys would always run by the fence shouting "Tiya! It's Tiya! Is he coming over?".

The names Biddy, Lace, or Rainbow might be a nice name.

Hey, Nerds,
I was wondering where you got the idea for the name Jaycee.
I know someone with that name,in fact it's spelled the same way.

I think it looks like a Connie!
