New lovebird coming soon, name suggestions please!!

[nikiwildman]

Hello everyone
So i have now found a breeder near(ish) to me who has just hatched a clutch of Black masked Lovebirds and is going to handrear one for me.
He/she will be ready in about 5/6 weeks depending on how long he/she takes to wean obviously. And i am SOOOO excited! Really cant wait to bring my new babie home!
I have most things ready, cage, toys ect, but im trying to think of good names, i dont think i will choose a name till i meet him/her to see what suits, but these are a few names that i quite like. And any suggestions are much welcomed. I have 2 cockatiels already named Kensei and Luna.

Will your new masked baby be a normal (wild type) masked or one of the mutations? That might help make naming easier...

I always like to wait until I meet the bird before deciding. Beetle's name came to me on the way home from the breeder ;)

That said, I'm rather fond of Kirby and Shiloh -- works well for either gender!

Congratulations and best wishes!

How exciting!!!! Baby lovies are so adorable!

I think that Bayley and Kirby are my favorites from that list...Nala and Taz are pretty cute too! :)

It believe it is a wild type - green and yellow, black masked Lovebird. (Lovebird mutations still confused me, i know everything you need to know about cockatiel mutations but Lovebirds just confuse me still!)

Kirby is one of my favourites still! And i really like Bayley too. But im not going to deside untill i meet the bird because the name i choose may not suit it at all, so im not going to get my heart set on any name yet - just trying to get some ideas of nice names that both me and my partner like so when we do meet the bird we can have an idea! I still have at least 5 weeks to come up with a 'short list' of such. I think this is actually more to help with my excitment that anything else!

The breeder said he is going to send me pictures through the hand rearing process, so maybe that will help me think of a good name.

I think it is your favorite too. Did you deliberately sneak it in your list 3 times or is your subconscious answering your question for you?

haha, yeah i noticed i did that today! Think that was just some poor copy and pasting on my part, as i was doing it in a rush - theres a few others i have put on more than once too! Not sure how that happened!
