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.
