one winner of peacock-naming contest

This was a tough decision, and I really liked all the jewel names like amethyst, and alexandrite, but I tend to name all my animals people names because, to me, my animals are like little people. I purposely didn't give that hint in the beginning. So, what really appealed to me was using the prefix "pea" with another syllable to form a human name. Therefore, Cindy Sproles won with her "Peater."

So, I still need three more names using "pea" somewhere in the name and with it forming a human name.

Okay, so the contest is still on. Nah--I'm not wild about "Peabody." The "pea" can also be in the middle or end of the name, too.

I know: I'm fussy. But I'm going to have to be calling these birds by these names for a bunch of years. I need to like them.

Create away! Deadline is May 3, 2010. Thanks. Congrats to Cindy Sproles, too. Thanks, Cindy.

  1. We forgot all about this! I love the jewel names and thought they were winners. Peater is very cute! Tecumy is with you. All of us here have human type names. Thank goodness I don't have "ham" somewhere in my name!
