Help[Opinions] Re: Bird
in reply to a message by Array
Uh, no, actually I think Bird is almost guaranteed tease matieral. Thik of it: birdbrain, birdseed, bird-turd, birdshot/shit, Big Bird, flipping the bird... Not good.
I have known too old ladies named Birdie. One was named Birdie, as far as I know. The other had it asa nn for something, might be Bertha but I don't know for sure.
I don't think the song by the Be Good Tanyas is something that a lot of people would know about and associate it with the name.
Listen: Bird Lenore. Bird Manure.
Mr. Snuffleuppagus alwasy called Big Bird Bird too. As in "Oh Birrrrd."
I'd stick to using birdy type names like Jay or Robin. Or use it as a middle name and pretend it's a family name.
And if you like the Be Good Tanyas enough to want to commemorate them in a baby name, why not just use Tanya? That's a really cute name.

Well...thing is, it's the song I love, and the sentiment--namely that "the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs." The Be Good Tanyas are fabulous, but in the end, I wouldn't be using the name for them, y'know?
Plus, the name Tanya sounds a bit painfully 80s to me. Not only were there several in my grade growing up, they were all the not so nice girls. Bad associations with that name--otherwise, I'd probably like it. :(

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
