Help naming a green cheek conure

[Compadrre]

I am having such a hard time naming my new little boy...I came on here for help/ideas/concerns after buying a bird, relating to getting my bird Tech (she is about 13 years old, I've had her since she was a few months old too) to make friends with the new guy. See that thread here, it has a couple stories & more background: https://www.parrotforums.com/thread...riends-with-my-older-one.106289/#post-1109218

I did just get the DNA back a few days ago, it is in fact a boy.

I will post a few pics on here. I've only had the new guy for a little over a week & I am totally stumped on a name for him! I am sick of saying "the bird with no name" so I figured I would make a post on here somebody please help me!

The new baby (5 months old) is extremely curious, pretty brave around new things, shredders are his favorite toys & he has these weird little yellow dots on him, one on the top of each wing (like his shoulders...his neck feathers cover them most of the time, I haven't been able to get a pic of those yet) he is just the sweetest little thing, doesn't bite but touches everything & I do mean everything with his tongue. He is still a bit hand shy from being grabbed in the bird store, he's just starting to really relax & enjoy himself here. His personality is coming out & I am pretty sure he's gonna be a cuddle monster just like Tech. I can tell he is pretty smart, he tests everything & you can see the little gears turning in his brain when he is thinking about things.

Ask me questions if you like. I am super stumped on this one, the suggestion box is open!!!

I think it is weird (& cool) how splotchy this little guys coloring is!

I chose a theme for my birds. I am a HUGE Transformers fan, so most of my names are TF-based or space-themed. You can always tell when I've had a bird named by me. Their names are... unusual. Like Redshift, Quasar, and Tailgate. Redshift's mate was Mindwipe. My first cockatiels were AirRaid, Skydive, and SlingShot.

Well Tech is named after the rapper Tech N9ne on account of her dancing to Caribou Lou on the way to work with me everyday. However, Tech Nine is also a gun... so gun related? I think I have named too many animals after rappers so far...

Names I have thought of & tried already, but don't like:
Curio (play on the word curiosity/curious) curio makes my brain say cabinet...curio cabinet
Azul (spanish for blue)
Azure (based off the green & blue colored rock azurite)

lol. I was going to ask where Tech came from…I was assuming like “technology” or something. If that was the case, I was going to suggest Pixel, Nano…something like that. Are you wanting to stay away from a rap theme?

I have had many horses named after rappers, I think I am all rapped out, as far animal names go anyway.

I thought of a bad joke on this topic....Tech & Lab Get it? Tech Lab, it'd be like a triple pun! Funny...but Lab just feels weird to me & not in a good way....Lab is too boring I think. *shrug*

Lab would be short for Labradorite which is one of my favorite gemstones. A quality piece can show all the colors on that bird too! This pic (below) has a bit of orange, which the bird doesn't have...but he has such weird colors...depends on the light he is in. Which is why I took him outside to take the pics & that still didn't do him justice. He has a lot of green & different blues on his wings, very splotchy looking. Along with black on the tips of his feathers & those cute lil yellow dots on his shoulders.

I really like the idea of playing with names related to his color. Different minerals or gemstones maybe?

Here's another pic that shows more examples of labradorite

The pic below is of chrysocolla, has both green & blue...

One thing I am sure I do not want is a totally normal name...like George...curious George...which does suit him quite well. lol Or Chris...based off chrysocolla. Blue is boring, Turquoise is too long & weird to say, same problem as Azurite. I've even thought of the different kinds of turquoise (different major mines)...like Morenci, but that does not roll right off the tongue at all either.

A pic of Azurite below

I remain open to all suggestions though! Please don't be shy!!! I think I have now listed everything I have thought of so far & why I don't like them. So playing on any of these ideas, would be something I have not thought of yet! I do not consider myself a very creative person lol so feel free to take a stab any this "xxxx" because of blah blah blah kind of suggestions or this "xxx" short for whatever word.

Thank you guys!!!

Wait I thought of one more I forgot to list...Kass the bird bard from Zelda (video game)...because I am a huge Zelda nerd too But I've tried calling him Kass & it just doesn't fit him.

Wish I got them at the same time...Link (main character) & Zelda would be super cute!

How about Aztec? Tech and Aztec would be nice combo without silliness and not boring.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Turq (shortened turquoise which I agree is too long and hard to say) would be good. Turq and Tech.

Wish I got them at the same time...Link (main character) & Zelda would be super cute!

I still think Link would be cute.

 

[Compadrre]

Today I am going to try Aztec, Link & Yoshi
Yoshi puts his tongue on everything!

Boyd?

 

[Compadrre]

guys I think the bird picked his own name! I called him all 3 a few times & he does this cute little chirp when I say Yoshiiiiii & then he fluffs his feathers all up.

Yoshi it is!

I super appreciate everybody for your time & thoughts....allowing me to ramble on & on or otherwise think out loud. Seriously this has been driving me crazy...bird with no name is now Yoshi! YAY!!! Thank you guys!!!
