He has no clue so why change it? Instead of saying good girl/boy say good birdie. My Molly is a boy. I named "her" Molly and then got the DNA about three weeks later. No big deal!

I know, I was just being 'funny' I wouldnt change it on him plus it would probably cause mass confusion in my house if I did! Haha :eek:

I agree, don't change it. :)
He IS Sunshine!
I made a website for Eloy in purple/pink just because I don't want him so masculine. :p

I'm waiting for ollie's DNA results.

It's on the same level as an ultrasound scan for a baby...

I've been told he's a HE but have that niggling doubt. Hence the test...

Sunny was a boy for the first two and a half years of her life but we DNA'd her when we got her. Luckily Sunny is a unisex name as she wasn't interested in having it changed. She will still turn her back on us when she gets in trouble and console herself, saying Sunny is a good boy.

Pritti (Cherry-Head Conure) -- Fly in Peace my beautiful boy. Forever I'll love you.
Sunshine is a beautiful name for girl or boy. Congratulations on your boy. However, I would recommend exchanging all the pink toys for blue toys :)

Sunny - Green Cheeked Conure (Our little boy was DNA tested a little girl, so Sonny is now Sunny)
We had the reverse happen...we got our GCC and was told "he" was a boy...named 'him" Sonny...DNA came back...Sonny became Sunny, short for Sunshine :)

It took a while to stop saying "good boy" :)
