HelpCormorant (m) (EDIT: Zipporah)
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
I wouldn't use Cormorant, but then again, wouldn't use Parakeet, Toucan, Vulture (ugh), Magpie, Parrot, or Warbler. Not Duck or Goose either.
However, I would use Peregrine on either gender. Gyrfalcon, Kingfisher, Eagle, Falcon, Hawk, and Merlin on a boy. Lark, Wren, Dove, Kestrel, Sparrow, and Starling on a girl. I would use Nightingale as a girl's middle name, purely for honoring Florence Nightingale, who is a huge heroine of mine.
Also, does Zipporah count? It means bird. If so, definitely one of the loveliest bird names, imo. Zipporah Lark is one of my favorite combos.

Also....
... I really like Robin on a boy. I used to (still do, come to think of it) love the story of Queen Elizabeth I and her sort of forbidden love for Robert, Earl of Leicester. She grew up calling him Robin - when she became Queen she had to call him Leicester or something like that, but when she git very emotional and needed a friend, not a courtier, she would call him Robin again. If I used Robin on a boy it wouldn't be short for Robert, but it wouldnt be after the bird necessarily.
