Mrs Slats Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Slats and I picked up our 4 ex batts on Saturday and all are settling in nicely... if a little wobbly going dow the ladder. We have named 3, Doris, Dixie and our real oven ready is of course called Paxo. But we are in dire need of inpiration for our bossy madame. She is already making herself known as top hen. Whatever any of the others are doing she chases them off it... I am sure they have even taken to jumping in the sand box to disctract her away from the grub!!! So any suggestion for names for Miss Bossy boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallina Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Boadicea (or Boudicca if you prefer that spelling) Livia (most powerful woman in early Roman Empire) Lucretia (Borgia) Penthesilea (Queen of the Amazons) Margaret (but you'll have to get her a handbag) Betty (Boothroyd) Out of that lot, I like Livia best: it suits an evil hen. But see what everyone else comes up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Actually, my first thought was......Miss Bossyboots! Ethyl (Merman)? Sophie (Tucker) "last of the red-hot mamas"? Or something ironic like Greta ("I vant to be alone") Garbo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Tilytinkle Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yup i was going to suggest 'Matron' too . .. oooh trying to think of another suggestion . . Queen C., as opposed to Queen Bee oh dear difficult isnt it .. doesn't she look like a particular name .. . wasnt their a bossy lady on a tv programme....can't remember what it was but she had a great name . . . Nora Batty or more apt .. Nora Beaky good Luck i'm sure you'll find some name which suits soon Ms Tilysupposedlyworkingbutitisntwquitehappening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The mention of Matron made me think of Hattie Jacques. Hattie would be quite a nice hen name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 going with the mostly 'D' theme how about Dominatrix (cant spell!) I errm hear they are very bossy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Our Bossy hen was very thoughtfully named, er... Bossy, by the kids!! I thought Duchess good but got overruled! Love Matron - although you'd have to say it in that Kenneth Williams way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Our bossy boots is called Hyacinth Bucket. She even walks like her... What about Lauren after Catherine Tate's stroppy teenager or Vicky Pollard? Ooh or Mrs T after the iron lady/mad old bat* (*delete according to politics) herself.

Mrs Slats Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Fantastic! I love them all. Margaret was toyed with yesterday, but my Aunt has the same name. Also toyed with naming her after my mother in law! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Slats Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks Everyone! Some fabulous suggestions. After much staring at said hen we decided she looked most like a Hattie! So big thank you to Gallina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Glad she's got a name now, and Hattie is a great suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
