Chicken Names
Sadly Rocky and Camilla have disappeared. They may have run away. Garry is licking his lips suspiciously but I think that is just to cheer me up.
Thinking of names, we’ll need at least one.
Bob?
Bobby?
Robert?
Rob?
Robby?
Roberta?
Bobberty?
Bob-hibberty?
Bobbins?
Or another name?
Please leave a comment.
Giuseppe Barbagelata – Why go for the simple names?

One should most definitely be named SADIE (say-dee). Every Hen Party has a SADIE.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Sanders
Bobkins isn’t bad either
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Fritz.
But I am probably only saying that because my cat just died.
October 24th, 2009 at 12:07 am
I enjoy the name Slaa. It may not be a… proper name, but it is my nickname and I am biased. Plus, you can add however many A’s to the end of it that you want (Example: Slaaaaaaaa) and make it unnecessarily long! AND it can work for a boy OR a girl! See! Everyone wins!

How about Roger Smythe-Gordon? It sounds quite dignified.
October 24th, 2009 at 1:14 am
Clucky McCluckerson.

Chuckles
October 24th, 2009 at 2:49 am
Rupert. Or Omelet.
October 24th, 2009 at 4:43 am
How about Trout?
October 24th, 2009 at 5:21 am
Garry.
Mr Scott-Irvine definitely deserves more recognition.
October 24th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
If the magnificent of you still hasn’t conceived it (rarely enough), I would surely recommend “Margaret Hatcher”.
October 24th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
I thought you were going to commit suicide?
October 25th, 2009 at 12:08 am
I would suggest George W Bush, oh wait, I think that one’s taken. How about Darles Chickens
October 25th, 2009 at 3:09 am
Egbert? (Eggbert?)
Ruprecht? Ruperto? Roberto?
Rubber?
K.F. (short for ‘Kentucky Fried’?)
October 25th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Bobaloo?
Bobo? Boba? Bobaluga?
Bob the Chicken
Choke? (the Chicken)
October 25th, 2009 at 11:12 am
I always give my pets really intelligent names, but they end up being called just Puss, or Dog or Bird, so I would suggest you call her Chicken. Easier to remember too.
October 25th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I’d say Vladimir. Or perhaps Hermann if you prefer German names.
October 25th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Schröder isn’t bad either!
October 25th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Flobert P. Biddlesworth.. “Come here Flobert!” It rolls off the tongue
October 25th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Being the brilliant national treasure you are, you have naturally been drawn to the most beautiful and regal of all names. I salute you, sir. Never before, to my knowledge, has someone combined the tastiness of chicken with the awesomeness of Robert. There is one variation you left off the list though: Bobert. Now I’ve never been fickle about giving boy pets boy names and girl pets girl names. I figure what they don’t know can’t hurt them, but just in case you’re one of those bleedy heart care about your pet’s self esteem hippies…
Henrietta for a hen.
Cogburn for a rooster.

My Dad knew somebody called Bob Chicken. Somebody told my dad that he’d died. Then my dad met him in a supermarket and said that somebody had told him he was dead. A few weeks later Bob Chicken died.
Boba Fett would make a nice chicken name even though a chicken isn’t much like an intergalactic bounty hunter.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:50 am
They should both be named Eric, of course.
October 26th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Hmmm…a good name for a chicken…
Cheeky Beaky
October 27th, 2009 at 1:24 am
Mr. Hat.
It actually just popped into my head.
I think I’d better go to bed now.
October 27th, 2009 at 2:57 am
Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday John!
October 27th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Bobbert (I have a friend with that nickname, works for him)
October 27th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
The names Minerva and Saphronia are for the birds. Use them in good health. Mind you, with these two names, no bird would scarcely poke its beak out the door so you won’t have them running away.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Norman.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:11 am
“Humble Fat”. Assuming it’s a fowl of exceptionally good character, that is.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:49 am
I have actually thought about acquiring a chicken just so I could name it Cluck Norris. However, my friend Inger thought of it first and beat me to it.
October 29th, 2009 at 8:37 am
“Cheese” for one, and “Cracker” for the other.
November 16th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Kenny Rogers Roasted Rooster….escaped! or Fluffy the fair feathered fowl.
Judy would also work!
November 28th, 2009 at 12:57 am
Yolkahama, Barbara Higgenbothom, Eustice Plucker, Ulysses Cordon-Bleu, Lord and Lady Pecker or Daphne Gai-Pan

If indeed Camilla is not returning (fairly certain I didn’t eat her yesterday), I can think of a way to honour her, and remember her. The obvious name for her replacement would be Parker-Bowles…
November 28th, 2009 at 2:16 am
For convenience sake, all my hens were Henrietta and the roosters were Stewart. Dull and unimaginative, maybe but I never once forgot one of their names.
P.S. Camilla did not wind up on my Thanksgiving table – unless she was masquerading as a ham. In that case, sorry.
November 28th, 2009 at 2:23 am
Colonel?
Sanders?
Apricot?
Satay?
Albatross (as long as there’s no wafers)
November 28th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Muriel Volestrangler (Sgt.)
November 28th, 2009 at 2:55 am
You can NOT name one of them Judy, because that’s my name, and now that you know, I’ll never forgive you if you name a chicken after me.
November 28th, 2009 at 2:59 am
Lets see …four female chickens? I’d name them Ed, Ed, Ed and Ed.
November 28th, 2009 at 3:21 am
How about: 1. L’Coq Cleese — or (thematically consistent): 2. Pecker Puck-Puck-Pucker !!!
November 28th, 2009 at 6:22 am
Domum – So it will always stay at or go towards home.
November 28th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Mr. Cleese, how about “Chica” (cheeka) which is Spanish for “little girl”. Chica Chicken lol And there’s always “Chantecleir”for a rooster. Sorry I mispelled it. Donna
November 28th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Another nice, old-fashioned name is “Priscilla” or “Prissy”. Donna
November 28th, 2009 at 11:57 am
If you were looking for new names for all of them I would suggest
Good
Morning
Dear
Friends
Not only would they have such positive energy in their names but also your neighbours would be pleased when calling the chickens every day at feeding time.
As for just one name, I really like Bob-hibberty or Bobberty.
“Or-another-name” sounds weird…
November 28th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Mabel and Biff.
November 28th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Leia would be a nice name for a pullet.
November 28th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
DRUMSTICK…
It’s an ironic name!!!
November 28th, 2009 at 5:45 pm

Roadkill.
November 29th, 2009 at 1:14 am
My cat Dot wants a chicken named after her, but I like think Soup would be nice.
November 29th, 2009 at 4:34 am
If you already have a “Bob,” why not add a “Carol,” a “Ted,” and an “Alice?”
November 30th, 2009 at 3:19 am
lady gaga. or silly mr. chicken face. or something really creative. like himynameisjoeandiliveinabuttonfactory.
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:21 am
Strangely enough, I was faced with 3 spontaneous and nameless chickens back in May. I found that naming them Szechuan, Rotisserie, and Dumpling, provided cute enough names while never allowing their impending mortality to escape your mind. you know, so you don’t get too attached.
Parmesean might be a good choice. 
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:02 am
John Jr. The chicken son you never had?
Johnna for a girl.
December 3rd, 2009 at 5:42 pm
If it is a rooster, I would suggest Rutherford. For a female chicken, I would suggest Spatzie. It just sounds like something that John would name a chicken…I can hear it now….”come, Spatzie…)
December 5th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Rob.
If not that-then
Anar.
Definitely ANAR.
