I need a name

Postby Nathaniel » Sat Aug 14, 2010 3:53 pm

My baby red-belly will be seven weeks old tomorrow. I need a name. I have a list of posible names and what they mean:
-Ignis, means Fire
-Euphagus, means Good Eater
-Electo, means Chosen or Outstanding
-Erythrinus, means Red
-Argyro, means Silver
-Pterus, means Wing
-Lethrinus, means Red Coloured
-Petra, means Stone
-Zephyr, means the Wind
-Paribus, means Feather

Any other ideas or favorites?

I like Paribus, Pterus and Zephyr- they fit too! I also like Hera, the wife of Zues, and Hestia a goddess of home if it will be a girl, and Hyperion which means "he who goes before the sun."

I should have mentioned this but the bird is a male so Hera or Hestia wouldn't work. Paribus is one of my favorites too. If you have not noticed, all the names I have choosen are bits and pieces of the latin names of fish. Mainly cichlids. :lol: I fear if I name my bird Hyperion it will think it is some sort of Pokemon or something :lol: .

I didn't think about that with the name Hyperion! It seems as though you like Greek names, so http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/gre-myth.php will help!

Oooh I have a few random ones:

Nemesis (god of just vengeance)
Loki (trickster)
Aether (god of the upper air)
Kratos (spirit of strength)


And... Steve (spirit of Blue's Clues)

:lol: OK ignore the last one... Unless Steve strikes you as an awesome name. You know you're gonna name the little fella Steve now. :mrgreen:

I think we have a winner, STEVE! :lol: not really. I think Petra is my favorite so far, It is short and is to the point.
