[Opinions] Coming from Baltimore...
in reply to a message by Akua Topaz
I'm going to have to use an emphatic NO here. I would no sooner name my boy Oriole than I would Dodger, Ranger, Marlin, or White Sock. Well, I wouldn't use the last one anyway, since I'm very much a Red Sox girl. :-P
Anyway, I strongly recommend dropping this one now. If I had to pick one gender to put it on, it would definitely be a boy. Bird names, for some weird reason, seem inherently masculine to me... the only ones I can think of that are feminine are Wren and Robin, and Robin was a male name first.
What about some other bird names?
Kestral
Hawk
Crow
Raven (well, I guess this one is a little girlier)
Conure
Mallard
Crane
Falcon
