What do you think of Bird, and would you assume its bearer was a girl or a boy?
I can see it working on either sex. For a boy because of Charlie Parker, of course. And for a girl, because I associate it with a fabulous song called "The Littlest Birds," which is performed by a group of women called The Be Good Tanyas (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Be_Good_Tanyas). Both associations are positive and venerable enough that I'd be willing to immortalize them in names. ;)
Other thoughts--is it too clipped-sounding? Too abrupt, too short? I've come to realize that short, abrupt names are what I do best, but Bird might be a bit too much for the rest of the world to take.
If I ever had a girl named Bird, I would most certainly call her Birdie--I've loved Birdie for years, though usually as a nickname for Roberta.
Are there any Bird combos that sound nice to y'all? A few that I've come up with (thoughts?):
Bird Lenore
Bird Honorah
Bird Evening
Bird Cornelia
Bird Lazarus
Bird Michael Ray
Bird Zacchaeus
Bird Jerome
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated--thanks! :)
