Wow, about 150 of you offered up name suggestions for our little rooster! Great ideas too, that I never would have thought of...some of our favorites were Ozzy, Ludwig, Spike, Stanley, Barney, Einstein, Ziggy, Beaker, Maestro, Kramer, and Ringo. And of course if he had only been a she, Phyllis Diller was a definite favorite. 
It was terribly difficult, but we did finally narrow it down to two top contenders: WALTER {submitted first by Erica M.} and CLUCK GABLE from 'Gone with the Hen' {submitted by Julie in Oklahoma}.Erica said::"Walter. Soon as I saw him I thought of that name. Not sure why, as I don't know anyone or any characters named Walter for him to resemble. It just seems to fit."
Julie said::"Is he much of a fighter? How about Cluck Norris" (Claw-ratay champion and star of Good Guys Wear Black Feathers)? Or is he more of a gentleman? Then I would go with "Cluck Gable" (from Gone with the Hen)."
Since our guy is really not the suave, dignified sort, but more of a 'Walter Mitty', we finally settled on Walter. Like Erica said, to us anyway, "it just seems to fit".

So, Erica is our 'Blogging for Bliss' book winner, but because Julie's suggestion was so imaginative and funny, I would like to send her a consolation gift {yet to be determined) as well. If both of you ladies would e-mail me with your address, I will get your packages sent on their way :)Thanks so much to you all for taking part!!
Congratulations Erica and Julie !!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Erica and Julie, I love the names you submitted!
ReplyDeleteWalter sure turned out to be a handsome rooster! I love the black and white feathers!! We just got a new batch of chicks, including a crazy-looking one (top hat? I can't remember), and I can't wait to see what he/she looks like when full-grown. I might have to borrow a name from one of the ones suggested!

ReplyDeleteCongrats Erica and Julie! Walters a good choice. I couldn't suggest it because that's my hubby's name and he doesn't resemble anything like that rooster.Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm sure Walter will love his name.
ReplyDeleteGood Ole Walt!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, ladies!
Walter does fit him very well! Cluck Norris could be his alter-ego. Fun, fun, fun.
