I tend to take my name's from plants or rocks/minerals or mythology. Lincoln is an exception to this...

50 Shades of Gray/Blue/Silver Leaved Plants | High Plains Gardening

Some personal faves from the list:
Plant (possible nickname or name derived from it)
Achillea (Achilles)
Alyssum (Aly, Alice, Alyssa)
Artemisia (Artemis, Arty)

ofc I have a unique taste in names kinda xD

Personally, I'd wait until after he was home for a few days to see what name suited him best to decide:)

LOL. My mom was indeed an 'original hippie' in the 60's/70's (and still is). Never really thought of my name as a hippie name before, but I guess it kind of is.

When we got our CAG, we waited till we got home and named him Buzz because he kept buzzing at us, a warning we were too close. I do love the name Smokey or Smokes though. Buzz knows his name too, I can say Buzz and his head whips around, he’s so smart. Get ready for one sharp bird coming home with you soon.

Yup, I know that one and I just googled the video and OMG those....sideburns? I don't even know what you'd call those...things on his face lol. My mom had a huge record collection but didn't really let me watch TV, so I don't recall seeing most of the videos that went with these songs growing up. What were they thinking back then?! I wasn't born until the 1980's but still grew up on a steady diet of Pink Floyd, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix (those are the big ones I remember as a kid hearing a lot of, though I know there were more I heard less frequently)....

To the OP, unless you are really set on a name, maybe wait awhile until you see his personality.
My adopted CAG already had a name for years so I kept it. BUT, if I was to rename him according to his personality it would have been..."pain the a**".

Of course I am kidding...somewhat. :05:

I was going to suggest Buzz, I like that name for a bird. Not so much for a human lol. I also like the name Mello, but he might be anything but mello.

My totally new names are from either literature or ancestors. Tommy after a distant cousin I thought was dead but isn't so shhh, Chloe from my great great great aunt, George was from Of Mice and Men, Obie from Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Most birds join my flock with a name already though.
Of course, considering where I live, Billy Bob, Bubby and Fat Boy are popular. HAHA
