Question Why do we name our bird what we name them ?

I was just wondering what you have named your birds and if there is a reason why they have the names that you have given them. For example most of our birds have been named for one reason or another. But then there are some that we got that had names and we didn't bother nor did we want to mix them up by calling them a new name when we knew what their name was. The others we named for one reason or another and these are the reasons. These are a few of the names of the lovebirds and the reasons for naming them the way that we did.

Bird #1, George was named because he is so cute. I just wanted to hung him and squeeze him and name him George.
Bird #2 Weesie was named because it is the mate for George and the first thing that came to my wifes mind was this name from the Jefferson's TV show in the 70's (yes I'm aging us)
Bird #3, Punkin is a orange faced hence the name punkin.
Bird #4, Lemon Head is a heavy pied dutch blue with a bright yellow head. This is why we named him Lemon Head.
Bird #5, Flip would do flips in the corner of the cage. It was so cute that we had to name him flip.
Bird #6, FNB is one mean little lovebird when she is on eggs or around her nest. She got the name because she's a Fu***ng B**ch
Bird #7 V this is the mate for FNB, He has a violet tail. Violet was not masculinit (sp) so we just cut it short to V.
Bird #8 R2D2 was named this because of the noise she makes when chattering. She sounds like R2D2 from Star Wars.
Bird #9&10 Pete and Repete. These two are brothers from the same clutch. Well the first clutch that we raised. There was no way that we were going to sell them. Because they looked so much alike we could not tell them apart. I named them Pete and Repete was just one that fit perfect. He's a repeat of his brother.
Bird #11, Louie is a masked lovebird that we figure is male. We bought him to partner with Lalia who were were told was female. Lalia and Louie just sounded good. Come to find out in the past two years there have never been any eggs laid and Lalia just acts like a male.
Bird #12, Cinnamon is an American Cinnamon LB and the name just fit him.
Bird #13&14, Tatter and Tot is a White Faced Violet Lovebird that loves to watch TV. He'll sit there and not move as long as the TV is in eye site. So he loves being a couch potato. With the two of them being in the same cage the name for Tot fit. So it's Tatter and Tot.
Bird #15, Camo now this is weird. He is a Heavy pied Dutch Blue Standard Green with a double dark factor. Looking at his back he looks camouflage with yellow, green, grey and red. Hence the name Camo
Bird #16&17, Lucky and Lucky's Friend. Lucky is name this because when I had gone in for the evening changing of water and seed I found him in the bottom of the cage almost dead from being cold. He was not even two weeks old. Well for almost a week until we could get a brooder I would get up every hour and half so that I could put hot water into a plastic bag that we had under some towels to keep him warm and I would also hand feed him. A day or two later Lucky's friend was found out of the nest too. About that time we got the brooder and put those two together. So instead of getting up every hour and a half I was able to get two hours sleep in between feedings.
Bird #18&19, They are Jack and Diane. Jack is a splayed legged Silver The name of Jack Sprague came to mind so it's not Jack Splayed. Diann got her name from the song Jack and Diane from John Mellencamp (there I go aging myself again)

This is the short list. There are another 9 birds that we have that came with names.
