Name for a chickadee

Nature Talk
,
1

So we are trying to find a name for a studious Chickadee which should be an iNat icon. As of now are so-called icons are:

Gerald, the muskrat for land.

Dave, the horseshoe crab for water.

Bob, the heron for air who is sponsored by his own observer whereas he as no more than 15 faves. Want to replace him.

tbh I want a replacement for Dave too. He is just teaching us how to waste time doing non-productive work and is technically dead. Gerald teaches us to eat greens.

So this chackadee tells us to learn more (and he is certainly a naturalist), you can see him here - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/6679901

So rate EACH name on scale, 1-5.

Chuck, suggested by @ brimmie (follow the notes for the rest. i.e. 5 mean great for all of them and 4 good, I just wrote it once to save time):

  • 1 - Bad choice
  • 2 - Not good
  • 3 - Not bad but not great
  • 4 - Good
  • 5 - Great

Interesting that they’re all male gendered names.

:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I don’t think this correct? There are plenty of non-gendered names (Pine, Sharp, Poe, Bandit, Space ripper evil laser eye dinosaur cyborg), and I would assume Little Dee Dee is likely intended as a female gendered name?: http://www.littledee.net/

4

Everyone, feel free to add commentary on names (whether they should be removed or something should be added etc.) here.

5

Poe and bandit are male gendered names. That’s also being generous to Sharp and Parus, calling them gender neutral. But hey.

Genderless: 4

Male: 5

Female: 1

Apologies, All may have been the incorrect term. Most of the names are male-gendered. I am for Poe though, as it does work with Poecile the chickadee’s genus.

6

The male ratio to the ratio of the rest of the names is 1:1, so it’s fair in my opinion

7

The irony of suggesting 1:1 male:genderless is a fair ratio to some one observing a lack of female names is quite rich!

8

It seems to be mainly coincidental. I tried to pick ungendered names since I do not know about whether the chickadee is male/female.

9

Anyone has additional names to add here?

10

I have 2 name suggestions, Phoebe/Feebee or Sweetie.

Since they sing “Fee-bee” or “Hey sweetie”

11

Hi!

Thanks for the suggestions. I would prefer to have 5 or more names to be added in a batch so this may wait till tomorrow. I will inform you when they are added. I had mentioned on the observation that you should not add a lot for your own names so do follow that when added.

@songbird82894 - https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/chickadee-p2-rank-each-name-on-a-1-5-scale/83421 Added. A fresh topic so that everyone can see it (people vote once and don’t check back, hence less voters for newer names. Therefore a fresh topic grabs attention :)

14

Continued from https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/name-for-a-chickadee/83243

same rules, rank each name. Started a separate topic because everyone had already seen P1 so there was no one to check back & vote, so in turn less votes. To moderators/regulars - Pls. do not merge this.

How the scale works:

1 - Bad name

2 - Not good

3 - Not good, nor bad

4 - Good name.

5 - Great name!

Pls. tell us more names if you have them.

Please don’t make multiple posts for the same topic, including just to grab additional attention. I’ve merged the above with the existing posts on the same topic.

16

No, I think there won’t be sufficient voters otherwise.
