Why have you chosen your budgies name(s)?

[Mistyoriline]

Just explain how you came up with your budgies name....My daughter named my 2:)

[Bea]

When Blinkie was a baby and i got him out of the nest box for cuddles he'd fall asleep one eye at a time in my hands, he was 'blinking' at me and so i named him Blinkie. Oswald is named that because i was looking at him on the way home from the pet store and he just looked like an Ozzie to me, but i don't like using common names so i extended it to Oswald (though he rarely gets called that!). :p

[Mistyoriline]

That's a good story about Blinkie I like Ozzy too....
Cool Bea:goodpost:

[blueberrybuns]

I named my budgie Kiki because I thought it would be a soothing name for her knowing that budgies like hard consonants and also if she ever talks someday it would be easy for her to pronounce.

[Amy]

I called, Dusty because he was grey (I was young!) Misty because she had 'eyelashes' and she looked like it to me, Bobby because it is a good name for a budgie and rather easy to pronounce, Lily because she looks like one and Billy because it goes with Lily and we didn't know what to call him. (He was going to be called Monty!)

[Dave]

Kansas is my dad's favorite band. And he said the only way we could buy her is if he got to choose the name. So he chose Kansas.

We chose the name Vegas because we love Las Vegas.

[Amy]

You've been to Las Vegas? Cool!

I never knew there is a band called Kansas.

[Mistyoriline]

Those are all cute names and great stories thanks for sharing them with me.

[bluebird]

[Amy]

They're gender confused aren't they!

[bluebird]

i dont think they care amy ! im more confused than them :S

[Amy]

They proberly don't care about their names! I wonder whether they have their own budgie names which we don't know but how they know eachother by, I'm guessing they do!

[bluebird]

:D im sure youre right,i think we name our budgies for ourselves !

[Freya]

Petri, cause...Brandi said it..and she said I could use it..and because I never thought of anything..I lack imagination

[cheese burger]

[Amy]

Oh right, that's interesting!

A sad thing occured once. My grandmother had a budgie called Danny and when she relocated to Austrailia, the bird couldn't come too. It's really odd since Austrailia is where the birds originally came from.

Anyway, Danny passed away because he got very lonesome. Many years later she bought another budgie and named him Danny too. But she didn't have the patience to look after him, so within days he became our newest pet. We still have Danny and he's the liveliest budgie we've ever seen.

[Mistyoriline]

That's great for Danny #2 Hope he lives a long life for u guys:)

[pipp4]

sprite: he is a greenish yellow what reminded me of the drink

buttons:her pattern on her back looked like buttons/poloz(her new name)i was talking to my friend and buttons started sing so she changed her name to poloz

pipp: pipp is sweet and she reminded my of a show called pip the fairy and she is sweet like a fairy.


cookie: my little sister names after our great grandma's budgie named cookie.

kiwi: was green and it was one of my fav names.

princess:we thought was a boy and my mom named it prince then we found out it was a girl and my mom named it princess

[keet_tweet4]

Ringo: (now passed away) I named him after the beatles and cause he had stripes on his head like rings :D

Figaro: my grandma named it, she wanted a musical name. It was named after the opera "The Figaro Song"

Aloha Coconut: My mom named it because she said his feathers looked like a Hawiian print shirt. Later I said it sounded bland, so we added Coconut which is a tropical nut, and Aloha's a tropical nut too:p

My other birds...

Cheekie Kon-Tiki: He came with the name Cheekie, and we added "Kon-Tiki" after the theory of people floating places on a blasa wood raft. :)

Petrie: I didn't name him this. His first owner Julie did. She called him this after the movie "The Land Before Time" there is a pterodactyl (sp) named Petrie and the movie came out when she got him.

My future bird..a B&G macaw...

If I get to name it, and its a male, I'll name it Beaker because it has a big beak and after the Muppets character. If its a female I'll name it Lotus after the flower or Maya after the acient civilization. :D

[budgiesareus]

Alba was named after a make of televison, Nova and Star where because I was doing a astronomy course, Tuesday because he was born on that day,;) Cookie after the thing in my computer, and Pops after the popping bit of Rice Krispies:budgie:

[A-n-M]

I gave them the names they have because felt right with those names. I know my names are gender mixed, but it fits their pesonality.

[BirdieBabi]

Chico - because when I first got him, I thought he was a she, so when I renamed him, I named him chico, since it means boy in spanish.

Baby - I wanted to stay on a role with having "cute names" and when I named Him, I thought He was a cute She, so...!

Bobby - Though it was a cute name at the time!

Marly - because I was reading a book Marley and me, do I wanted to name her marley, only without the e, so it wouldn't sound like I was naming her after bob Marley!

Gonzo - Love that name!

[SushiGURL]

Tuffy was a littly wussy when i bought him so i have him a big name like TUFFY lol that way he seemed tuff

[moochie]

Birdie (RIP) coz she was a "little birdy that fell out of the nest" and we couldnt tell if she was male or female and it stuck

Moochie, my current, coz i got her at 7 weeks old and she sat around all moochy for the first few days :)

My first thought of a name was "don't pick anything anyone else on the planet will use and it has to be funny" so that makes name picking difficult and I think when I have children they'll hate me for whatever strange names I picks!

I used to live in Russia so of course I also speak Russian and the best way to have a name that no one in this country will have is to use ones from other countries. Then you gotta pick words that you normally would use as the name of what your intended pet is. So I made a list of animals and words that would be funny (in Russian); pig, horse, fool, idiot, crazy, dog, cat, elephant, etc. Then picked one that wasn't too long and difficult to say. One thing in the Russian language you can do is add "ik" to the end of a word making it mean like a little cute thing.

"Slon" = Elephant
"ik" = Ending to make it mean little cute thing

"Slonik" = Little Elephant

[BUUZBEE]

Mine started of as Cartoon characters, then we went to dance names (salsa, tango, etc.) then we had ones named online (bruce, hugo, and grace) and finally we have the jemstones of this clutch (pearl, ruby, emerald, opal, and saphire)

oh, we've also got a sugar and spice (the white ones) holy and crystal (the christmas ones) i think thats it???? lol

[Meghanxx4]

I named my first budgie Pongo because i i liked that name and i was obsessed with 101 dalmations at the time. i got him in 2nd grade. my second budgie my frieind actually named, her was Cha-cha she was beautiful looking, she was only alive a for about 6 months to a year. my freind and i named her chacha because she was going back and forth on her perch. athe my sis's budgie, Jewel who she later found out was male she named jewel cuz hs ethaught jewel was lovely anme but as i jus said she later found out he was male and never bothered to chnage the name.

[Genevieve]

Bambi got his name just because i thought it was cute but he gets called Bam Bam alot now as he loves banging things... and i was just dying to use the name

Oscar at first was just a cute name but now it has ended up meaning Oscar the grouch!

and finally India got his name as he was just so pretty he needed something unusual and pretty also :) and for some reason it just kept popping up in my head...
