This is my brand new Parakeet who will be keeping me company in my stamp room.   He doesn’t have a name yet.  My Husband, Russ suggested I make it a contest on my blog to name the little guy.  So here it is, leave a comment making a suggestion on what I should name my new bird.  I will pick the winning name and reward the person that suggested the name with two, that’s right two Stampin’ Up sets, Botanical Blooms & Yummy.

A couple of things about the bird, he is a very young male Parakeet.  Prodominately “Tempting Turquoise” in color with a bit of Going Gray and Whisper White.  How is that for a description?   Do you talk in Stampin’ Up colors too?  He will reside in my stamp room.

Now come on and get creative with the names.  I cannot wait to read them and I’m sure the bird would like a name, lol.  I will select the winning name on Friday, June 26, 2009. 

Good luck everyone!

Huge Hugs,

Michelle

    Hi Michelle,

    Pretty pretty bird. I know you are going to enjoy his company.

    I think the perfect name for him is “Blogger”.

    Whatever you name him.. he is a lucky bird to llive in your creative world!

    Michelle, I love the names Brayer and Mojo! I was going to suggest Brayer myself, but it was already suggested. For a twist on that how about Donkey….. It’s related to brayer, and there’s always the line from Shrek…”That’ll do Donkey, that’ll do!”

    He looks just like a parakeet we used to have many years ago. We let him fly around the house, and he liked sitting on the windowsill and watch the birds flying around the yard. After a while, he started to imitate those wild birds, besides what we taught him to say. You’ll get a lot of enjoyment out of him. For a name, I thought of Admiral William Byrd…”Billie” for short.

    Excellent suggestions so far … Love Turq, Brayer and Inky …. so I’m thinking hard here ……. how about how about ‘Boss’ … as in emBOSSing. Then if someone is bothering you, you can say “The Boss is calling me, gotta go!’

    LOL!

    I’m thinking of 2 names for you to think about… the 1st is Turk (although you could spell it Turq) I think this name is for obvious reasons. The 2nd choice is Copic, just because it’s appropreiate in our crafting world. I hope you choose either of these names just because they really work, but the stamps sets would be great too! Lol!

    Thanks,
    Dina

    I’m going to go a different direction—-AUTO (OTTO)—named after all your road trips to us lucky people. He’s a beauty.

    I think you should name him Elvis because he has such beautiful blue in his colors that it reminds me of Hawaii. When I think of Hawaii, I think of Elvis and those gorgeous, yummy blue hawaiian drinks! He’s gonna be the “King” of your stamp room – I just know it 🙂

    I think that you should name him “Zindy”………obviously close to Zindorf! I think it just has some pizazz to it! He reminds me of the canaries that my grandma had when I was growing up. My favorite was named Johnny!

    My first thought was “Turqy” because he is such a beautiful color turquoise blue…then when I looked I saw someone had already come up with Turq.

    My second thought was “Beach” because he reminded me of a crystal clear ocean and immediately I thought of laying on a beach looking at the ocean. As a nickname you could call him beachy.

    Anyway, hope you enjoy your new stamping friend!!!!

    What about Blueberry, Indigo……or Bandit – he has a little mask and Im sure when he is out he will be trying to steal stamping supplies (at least those that he can physically drag off).

    My suggestions for crafty names would be: Grommet (that’s masculine…) or Cloisonné (sounds like a little French bird of love – LOL!). My other favorite is Twitter – since it’s all the rage on the internet now. However, if you just want to call him a “name” rather than something papercraft or website related, I’ve always liked the names Dakota and Lucky. Best wishes and congratulations on your newest addition to the family! 🙂

    Well this little guy looks like a parakeet I got when I was ten and wanted a dog. My parents didn’t want me to have a dog and said I could have a bird instead. I named him Louie. I really like the first suggestion of Bisbee though!

    Obviously, his/her color jumps right out off the page…The shade of blue reminds me of the Carribean…which leads to Buffet and Marley Music…which makes me think “Marley” would be an awesome name! Parrothead might not work, huh!? LOL Of course an Aqua Cosmo if one of my favorite drinks, so “Cosmo” might work too! HA

    He is soooo cute! He looks like a “Cuddles” to me. I have a female Cockatiel named Sunny and she is great company in my stamping room. Enjoy your little bird.

    Hi Michelle,

    Brayer was the first thought that was associated with you and stampin. And several have mentioned it. So for a name that hasn’t been mentioned –

    My daughter had a female the same color, her name was Betina. I loved to listen to her sing. When I thought of parakeet, turquoise and singing, the first thing that came to mind was the Caribbean and Jimmy ‘Buffett’. I would name him ‘Buffett’ Blue. The second thing I thought of was Margaritas and how ‘Yummy’ it would be to win ‘name that bird’! Good Luck and enjoy your new member of the family!!
