House MD 221B Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Thought this might be useful or indeed humerous for anyone looking for chicken names... http://www.freewebs.com/professorchicken/chickennames.htm Incidentally we are looking for 3 new names, hence searching and finding this... so far we have : Miss. Pennyapple, and Pecan (Hopefully she will be a light sandy colour) So she will be "Pecan Sandie", which about 6 Americans on the west coast will find amusing, because they don't make that candy on the east coast any more. just looking for that 3rd and final name now lol harder than you'd think. Especiall when Sally keeps coming up with stupid names like "Phallus"... seeing as we have Poach, Pennyapple, and Pecan, she was thinking along the "P" Lines.... Sesame street missed out on her didn't they This is truely excrutiating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsquid Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Pippin or Pippa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House MD 221B Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Well I've convinced Sal that perhaps we shouldn't stick to just P's, as for example, Miss Pennyapple ACTUALLY begins with an M, and plus out of equality, I should perhaps choose a name, hehe, and I have gone for Angua, which is named after a Terry Pratchett Discworld character, Delphine Angua von Uberwald, who is a blonde Werewolf dating Captain Carrot. And we will probably end up with 2 light sandy coloured chickens and a white one Introductions are going to be fun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angua but anyway check out the list in the OP, there's some STRANGE names for chickens, and some.... perhaps a little racist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House MD 221B Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 awesome! always nice to meet another Pratchett fan! didn't realise until I did some hunting around this afternoon, there aren't that many female characters outside of the witches, cheery littlebottom the dwarf, and Sally the vampire. Bit of a sausage fest the old discworld still I believe Great A-Tuin's still undecided and up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelbel Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I had 2 of my girls' my names years before I got the girls - shows how long I took to take the plunge Rita was always going to be my ginger one. Short for Henrietta. Joy is short for (h)enjoy. The DH named Grace...........for what we are about to receive. My next two will be Cissie and Ada - after the Les Dawson & Roy Barraclough characters. I think it will suit a pair of clucking chooks down to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 *fit of the giggles has now hit* marvellous names! And house, you're right - there really aren't that many females in discworld apart from the witchs Although there is one that could be an excellent chook name - Sybil, after sam Vimes lady Sybil ramkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 There are loads in Monstruous Regiment.. (pratchett geek slinks away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Rhapsody, get back here!! Nothing wrong with being a Pratchett geek - I got very excisted on the train out of Birmingham last week because I saw not one but TWO adverts of new Pratchett books.... OH was slightly disturbed....

House MD 221B Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 yes my OH mentioned Monstrous Regiment hehe I just finished Nation which is thoroughly enjoyable, and my OH's sister is going to lend us unseen academicals. I'm not a huge football fan (understatement of the year, I despise the sport), so im intrigued to see if he can make it interesting to me.

Little Clucker Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I think you should like it, I don't get footie (I'm a rugby girl) but as usual he makes not about football, but rather the soul of what it is if that makes sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 that does it - ordering books online as we speak!! I'm an academic, so always find the exploits of unseen university staff rather entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
