My Plush Bird Collection

Still some time left until the poll ends.
Multiple voting is HIGHLY encouraged.
If you haven’t already, VOTE!
If you’ve already voted for only one name, you can cancel the vote and then select both your previous choice and another name or names.

Still need more votes!

Go Archibald go

I'm betting on Philipp!

Please. I need more votes!

I have decided that the runner(s)-up will qualify as a potential name (or names) for the Webkinz Toucan and other stuffed birds too, in order to give every name a chance. Thus, the winning name may go to another bird, and the toucan may be named one of the second-place names.

That's not fair, you ask our community to choose a name and then you don't give the winner name to the toucan? Obviously it is yours and that's a poll for fun but I suspect you don't like Archibald. To be fair, anytime I look at your toucan, Archibald seems to be a perfect name for it.

I would give that name to my Wild Republic Audubon Mallard. I just think that Archibald (and Harry) sound too much like stereotypical British English names. I just think that Tupi and Portuguese names are more appropriate for a South American bird.

That's election rigging   ! We want Archibald! We couldn't even vote for Tupi and it has an unoriginal alliteration. I am going to take this case to STS court

That is the point of a vote! Otherwise we could have just given suggestions and you could have picked your favourites!

I really think that’s what I should have done. Unfortunately, the vote has already happened.
Sorry for causing that major electoral disappointment. I promise that from now on, whenever I let the community suggest names, there won’t be a poll, and whenever I hold an poll for names, all names will be of my own choosing. Mixing the two together is a recipe for disaster.
The vote is officially closed. All names, yes, all of them, will be used for different stuffed birds. This topic will only be used to show which birds get which names.

Call the Secretary of State of Georgia; maybe he can help you find more votes...

I said NO MORE VOTING!

Apologies accepted. Names are very personal, and a name that one person likes may be disliked by someone else. Now I am curious what names your plush birds will get.

Great names. Archibald looks very happy . I like this one a lot too:

They are just so cute!

Thanks, @Bowhead Whale and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]!

I would like some name suggestions for the following plush birds (and one Ringtail):

Males:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Snowy Owl, Northern Cardinal, Common Grackle, Ringtail, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Eastern Towhee, Purple Finch, and Nelson’s Sparrow

Females:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Chipping Sparrow, Cedar Waxwing, Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Hyacinth Macaw, Common Raven, Tufted Titmouse, and Canyon Wren

Be creative. No super-obvious names are allowed.
You may look up the names of the animals you do not know, to get a sense of what the real birds are like.
If you can’t suggest names for all of them, at least name a few and specify which animals get which names.
Once I get enough names the chosen name for each animal will be revealed here.
