Well I googled it and couldn't find any site with the pronunciation. I did see that an 'aka' is Trgiaoh - so it may sound something like Ter-jee-oh... ??? - sounds good to me!  ;D

Sounds good to me too...and I'm gonna go with that!!!!   :)

'Fraid so.  Trey was hooked up with Madame for a few years prior to Princess' arrival ... and he is more than twice her age, so she may get a new mate, though usually it seems the "women" in this province "go" first ....  (knock on wood that nothing happens to Trey, knock on wood that nothing happens to Trey, knock on wood that nothing happens to Trey, knock on wood that nothing happens to Trey - oops, my favourites are showing ...  ;D)

All that knocking on wood I was beginning to think I was hearing a woodpecker in the vicinity lmao

Trgiaob: As an angel who protects wild birds, we pray to this illumined one to protect all birds from extinction, pollution and destruction of their habitat.

Elijah :Believed to have created the tree of life. Guardian of all new born children and those spirits who die at an early age.

Ariel: Ariel is an Archangel closely related to nature. Guardian of  Fridays.

ROTFL -- how many times can one use the word "idea" in one paragraph?

Hi, all.  It always takes so long to read thru everything when I get home from work!  I stood at the MTS Centre for awhile today, but didn't see our couple.  And nothing out my work windows all day.   :(  Glad to hear others did! 

Loriann, I didn't respond because I was mulling names over, not because I didn't like the idea.  I think it's a great idea!  I'm glad it was suggested that naming our fluff balls after live people wasn't a great idea, because I was thinking the same thing.  I like your original idea.  These are my choices (altho I'm also quite happy to let Tracy decide):

ELIJAH -- THE ANGEL OF INNOCENCE.  No explanation needed. 
TRGIAOB -- THE ANGEL OF WILD BIRDS ("As an angel who protects wild birds, we pray to this illumined one to protect all birds from extinction, pollution and destruction of their habitat. Whenever you hear a bird sing, Trgiaob is near.")  Isn't that what this is all about?!  If anyone can figure out how to pronounce it, please share.   ;)
CORAT -- THE ANGEL OF AIR / FRIDAY AIR ("A Friday Angel of the air")  We lost them on a Friday. 

As for another clutch, I'm happy with Kyle, Larry and Tracy.  Radisson has already been done, so that's out of the running.  I had been thinking Shaw sounds like a boy's name, but I guess it can go either way.  I also like Trey Jr.  Tracy, it may be that we've already decided and there's no need for a poll!!!  AND, I'm thinking even if they don't have more this year, Kyle should be a done deal for next year.  Any thoughts, fellow Phanatics? 

Jill - thanks so much for the scoop on a good spot to watch.  I'll check it out! 

Tracy, I don't think I've seen this  -- Trey is 12?  What's his life expectancy?  I realize it's hard to judge between the wilds and the city, and there's so much that can happen.  But given all going well, what is old age for a Peregrine?

I'm up for those 3 names - how on earth do you pronouce Trgiaob though?  ??? I wonder if Tracy knows if the last chick was a boy or girl? I assume it would be the smallest one, being last out.

I see a few of us have expressed preferences for the following names.
If anyone else wants to add their opinion, ''vote'' here, and we'll let Tracy have the final say on her babies names.

so far there I see the names Ariel, Elijah, and Trgiaob as being the most popular. ( and no,that's not a typo on the last name, thats how its spelled.).
I think we should do this by tomorrow if possible, at the one week mark ( already).

Hi all, these are my votes :D


ARIEL  -- THE ANGEL OF NATURE

ELIJAH  -- THE ANGEL OF INNOCENCE

TRGIAOB -- THE ANGEL OF WILD BIRDS

Tracy thanks for telling us who was with whom and when.
I was thinking in human thoughts and couldn't get my head around Trey and Madame together ???
I have to keep telling myself these are birds, not humans silly me. LOL  ;D

Ok  Tracy... it seems the general concensus is that we all agree on naming the babies.
We also agree that YOU should have the honor of doing so.
If the angel names are of interest to you, then see my post with a list of them to choose from. 
If you feel we had two males and one female, then go with that. Most of the names could be used either way.

please let us know what you think, and what you decide. As has been stated a few times,lets keep the honor of naming one after you, Larry and Kyle for some live, healthy, chicks.
