My grandma is a very special person in my life, and I'd love to name a child after her, but her name is Arvena Bernice (pronounced arveenuh bernis). Not exactly the prettiest name ever. But as she and I always watched birds together, I thought I could use a bird name instead. I'm not a fan of Robin, so I was wondering if anyone else knew any bird or bird related names for a boy or girl.
Re: Bird Names
This sounds silly, but I've always liked the nickname Bird or Birdie for a girl.
What if you used Bernice as the first or middle name and just sometimes called (if it's a her) Bird.
I know, baby name regulars, this is such a not-normal answer for me.

People who own Lorikeets call them Lories or just a Lori
There is also always Sparrow
Raven, Wren, Jay...thats about all I can come up with. Nicole Rirchie named her DS Sparrow.
I think Birdie is a cute nickname also.

I love the name Wren
Tori is bird in Japanese, so maybe Victoria with the nn Tori?
Linnet is a type of bird; I've also seen it used as a name.
Ava means "little bird." Avis and all its derivatives mean "bird," as well.
Check out the link BraveAngel posted--that has a pretty comprehensive list of bird names.
I like Lark and Raven, but they're not for everybody.
I don't know that there are "bird names" for boys since birds are generally seen as feminine, delicate animals.

Thank you so much for the links! Those were really great lists!
I LOVE the name Wren! I didn't even think about it, and it is also my grandma's favorite bird.
Thanks everyone for all the great ideas!
What about Hawk for a boy? Just kidding!
