Sir Kit Breaker Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks for all the replies. Thought we would let you know that our new arrivals landed yesterday and William chose that time to start saying Bubble in his 18 month old way and so it seemed natural that they were Bubble and Squeak Although I still prefer Norfolk and Chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farrowy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Our two girlies arrived just after I'd finished the final Harry Potter book Handy because if (when!!!) we get more there are plenty of other HP names to pick from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeandsu Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Our chickens are arriving on 26th, but as we've got two children (4 & 2) the subject of names has already been settled. We've gone for characters the kids know: Dora - as in 'the Explorer' - which is fine. AND Spiderman! - my son is adamant, even though we've told him it will be a girl. Oh well, I hope she grows up well-adjusted regardless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assumpta Niamh Oona Eiofa celtic names in memory of Paul's mum who died 18 months ago (her name was Philomena but we thought that she might just be a bit cross to have a chicken named after her............) Maisie Eliza our bantams - named after our neighbour's children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menagerie Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 What imaginative names everyone has! I waited till I'd met mine until choosing their names - it seems important to me. Though we ended up choosing rather dull names Sandie because she is that colour, Scarlett because she is dark red and Henrietta because it suited her. I wanted to call one Tina but OH vetoed it, and he wanted to call them after dead female relatives, but I felt certain living relatives wouldn't approve of having a chicken named after their nerest and dearest, even though in our book it would have been a fitting tribute!!

Richard Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm a bit worried. the hen we called after my Mum (Liz) has turned out to be the bully that feather pecks and who I've had to put in solitary pending the arrival of the bumper bits Now, how am I going to put this to Mum ?
