Suggest Names for Karula '22 Black Stork chicks

[asteria]

If storklets got such letters, they should get the names starting from these letters, even not Estonian. Although 10 years ago only Tommy got the right name.

[juta]

Good choice, astelpaju!
I thought about "iks" myself too

[Jo UK]

If Iks is on the final poll of names I shall vote for it!

What do you think of exceptionally giving W an Ukrainian name,
a significant one in this memorable year ?

W = Wolodymyr


I would like to point out that with Bonus, we also have a Bonus with a transmitter in Eedi's nest, here we should differentiate something with regard to "birdmap", following their migration route.

e.g.
Bonus KK
Bonus Ee

or
Bonus 1
Bonus 2


There is also an Ukrainian unisex name for V available:

V = Vira

(meaning: brave, heroic, wise)


X = Xeno (Susanne's proposal for X) is ok for me, also if we would leave it with just X

[Jo UK]

Good thinking, Balistar. Wolodymyr

[Francesca_V]

Balistar,
Urmas usually talks of Bonus (our Bonus) and Bonus2 (Eedis Bonus). Therefore I'd prefer to keep it this way.

[balistar]

Francesca, Bonus and Bonus 2, is also ok for me

This is a very sweet idea. However, just in case, there's an aspect which may be worth considering: I've heard that it is not advisable to give for example ships very "important" names, because ships are perishable (e.g. sinking Estonia - not a desirable symbol...). Anything can happen, and in the worst case scenario it can be used in propaganda.
Maybe Volodymyr for V? V cannot be tracked.

X - IKS (letter X pronunciation in Estonian)

I like IKS ! Sounds good.

(The name of a radiologist living in my area is dr. Ickx. That's the place to go for X-rays. It's no joke. )

Trine, you're right, i haven't thought of that.

Maybe we could shorten it up to W = Wolo ?

[Francesca_V]

Wolo is nice.
Xeno is ok, although I'd prefer Xeni.
(Xeno(s), Xenia have all the same root in greek.)

And V? Vicky? For Victor/ Victoria?
Or Vicco! Sounds like a male or female name.
Or Viiko. Which sounds more Estonian.
(Viico in Latin means "I travel".)

Were the chicks not temporarily named Bonus, Plus and Extra? This way Bonus could remain Bonus and the chick in Eedi's nest could be Plus. I think Extra was meant for no.3.

[Francesca_V]

Yes, Brofasa, you're right. I remember this, too.

[Jo UK]

This is a very sweet idea. However, just in case, there's an aspect which may be worth considering:

Thankyou for thinking of that, Trine.

Bonus

V = Victory (english)

W = Wunder (english)

X = Xanthi (-um strumarium)

Xanthium strumarium

a plant name, burdock, appropriate for Little X who loves Bonus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthium_strumarium

ein Pflanzen- Name, die Klette, passend für die Kleine X die Bonus liebt
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gew%C3%B6 ... pitzklette

[bigfan]

Leaving two of the chicks unnamed doesn't seem right. We must think of a way around that.
If to name X with his initial letter, we may have to go to Greece because I can only think of Xerxes!
or xanthan gum.

Keep the ideas coming, please..

Xerxes is great!
Victory and Wunder also!!

[Silja]

Xaria
Vaigo (male) or Vaigi (female)
Will (short for name Wilhelm or Wilhelmina)

It's probably a pointless question at this point, but why do the names have to be related to the number? Karl II's name starts with K although there is a C on the number. And there is also Kaia...
We call the chicks the K chicks.
So why can't the names start with K? As a relation to the nest.
(Plus there are many better variants in estonian starting with K...)

[Jo UK]

HI, Madlaa.
Yes, we do that in most years. There can't be many K names left now! This year is a little different.
