I agree with madlaa, there are no Estonian words or names with X or W at all, storklets of the K family could have names with the letter K

Yes, Hellem. Of course, and that has been our habit in earlier years. How many K names remain unused, I wonder? But we are sailing along with this way for now. As Juta said - any options are welcome.

I would also like them to have Estonian names. I also wished a nice name for Bonus. Bonus is not a name for me.

I also agree with madlaa, Hellem and Liz that the Karls / Kaias *kids* get names with K and Bonus with J...Bonus isn't a name for me either

I did overview of the given names in previous years. As you can see we gave names with K only once at 2016. In other years we gave names by letter on the ring
This year name "Bonus" were given spontaneously and members have used it for a long time(also this is used on LK page). I don´t see the reason to find something else.

2016

Kalli
Kulla
Killu

2017

709U - Uno
715T - Tali
715U - Usin

2018

7161 PÄIKE
7162 KARULA
7163 MARU

2019

716A - ARU
716O - ORU

2021

716 P - Pikne
716 T - Tuul
716 U - Udu

Edit. Most of these are not which are used for humans. We looked for genderfree ones.

i agree, i like the name Bonus, it expresses exactly what happened.
If Urmas hadn't rescued the remaining chicks from the JJ nest, they wouldn't have survived.

As such, they are a "Bonus" for Estonia and for all of us who observe these Black Storks with love and devotion.
It is precisely for this reason that the name "Bonus" was suggested and very happily accepted by many of us.

Balistar and Juta, I agree with you.

I also think Bonus is a good name, it was a spontaneous choice and a good choice.

At the begin I accepted the name too, but I've thought that the names are temporary.
Jan and Janikas chicks deserved nicer names. But there's no arguing about taste.

BTW: so those who want a different name don't love black storks? That's an interesting conclusion

I didn't say that and didn't meant it. It is your personal conclusion.


Anyway, each of us is allowed to give his proposal for a name and as usual in a democracy, the majority will decide on the names on the name poll, let's wait...

:hi:
Because it is simply impossible to give all storklets an Estonian name this year (no W- and no X-words)
Because the spoken language on this forum is English
Because the names do not have to be real (people's) names but can also be words which - for example - may express a quality we wish for them

I propose:

V: Vigor* (meaning: mental and physical strength, good health, and also energy, and enthusiasm)
W: Wise (meaning: clever, showing knowledge, sensibility and good judgement)
X: Iks (as astelpaju suggested)
Xeno, Xeni, Xenas and similar... would be fine with me too.

* Edit: I would like to change Vigor into Vigo, please. 8-)
”… As a name, it couldn't be more vigorous. Strong, healthy, and full of energy …”

And yes, please let's keep the name Bonus. It's been chosen spontaneously and has been used a lot now, including by LK and Urmas himself.
Since tastes differ, it's anyway impossible to find a name that everybody likes.

Bonus reminds me of the people who go shopping and show their bonus booklet :slap:

We had before Bonus, Plus and Extra for the chicks of JJ's nest. Extra died and Plus is on Eedi's nest.
