I was pleasantly surprised to see Romeo and Juliette’s latest offspring! It’s hard to tell but I suspect it’s male? He flew over and promptly took the fish Romeo was eating! Romeo didn’t seem to mind.
So the game is whoever comes up with the best name for this male eagle will get a picture of him!

My husband thinks his name should be “Toupee”
Ok,duly noted Geri! thanks
I’m going to share and be back Wayne 🤓🙋♀️
Ponder away Hedy,he needs a fitting name.
Well, I guess we shouldn’t call him late for dinner!
actually…..he would TAKE your dinner!
Hahaha. :)
maybe I should call him “Jethro”?
That’s a prefect name! :)
My name suggestion is Ace. In Latin it means “one,” “expert,” and “one with the father.” In English it means “one who excels,” He certainly excels in getting his food!
good one!
If you want to stick with names from Shakespeare, you could call him Julius. Or maybe Hamlet. Although both those guys came to bad/sad ends. Or maybe Merlin, a legendary dude.
But then, both Ace and Jethro sound pretty good too!
Tybalt – he was a hot-headed character in Romeo and Juliet. Or Montague – that sounds very distinguished
both you and Audrey went down the same road Emma. Good choice!
I was toying with Horatio,Julius and Othello.
I like a single syllable.
Horatio is good.
and for the life of me I do not recall the character?
Nelson? English Admiral, Eye patch, arm in sling, Battle of Trafalgar etc etc. On reflection, perhaps you better svave that for a one-eyed creature.
Maybe you could paint him Emma?
The one-eyed creature or the sea captain? lol!!
🦅 my new friend
Dawkins after Pickpocket Jack Dawkins, better known as the Artful Dodger, who is a character in Charles Dickens’ 1838 novel Oliver Twist. 🤔
Interesting choice Chris! JD for short?
JD is great, Wayne, it was him stealing his Dad’s fish that prompted the Artful Dodger thought 😂
well thought out Chris!…..and he tried to do it several times too but Romeo had already eaten it by the time he arrived.
😂🤣😂
Reblogged this on Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog and commented:
Our Canadian friend, Wayne, in Tofino, needs a name for his eagle friends, Romeo and Juliette’s, latest offspring Please call over to his original blog post and leave your suggestions 😃
benvolio – romeo’s cousin and attempted peacemaker
excellent choice Beth and well thought out!
Maybe Ben for short?
nice
In keeping with Shakespeare, how about Orlando?
Of course I’ll need to pass all of these by him first? Orlando is a creative name Noelle!
How about Escalus, prince of Verona (Romeo & Juliette).
Macchiavelli – that was the first word that came into my mind when I saw his picture. ;-)
Good choice! I’m getting all sorts of interesting names!
It is lovely to see a baby, Wayne. Do Romeo and Juliette only have one baby?
usually only one survives, but sometimes a second survives as well
Mercutio. Had Shakespeare gone the fairy tale route with a happily ever after ending for Romeo and Juliet I feel pretty sure Romeo would name his son in memory of his best friend.
I wondered that myself? I actually goggled that question………what would Romeo and Juliettes son’s name be If they had one,but couldn’t find a answer?
He’s a beaut, Wayne! He looks like a Jasper to me. I found this on the web: Jasper in all its forms is a significant stone in New Age as well as feng shui practice. Jasper is regarded as a very nourishing, warm, and protecting stone, but specific colors also impart their own energy.
Interesting take Jacquie! It’s going to be hard to chose!
How about Max. One syllable and easy to pronounce and spell. (Short for Maximilian if you want to get fancy. Or Wolf – short for Wolfgang.- and another one-syllable easy-to-spell name. There’s something ironic about giving an apex predator the name of another apex predator? Love this challenge!
Good one Babsje! I like that one.
Falstaff!!!! He has already stolen a fish .. from his Dad! And then probably went to boast to his buddies at a .. Sand Bar!
Greg
Good choice Greg! He was a bit of a scoundrel wasn’t he.
Hmm – I’m really rusty on my Shakespeare stories and their characters Wayne … so how about Bandit? I started to say “Small Fry” because he’s young and stole a fish, but do people even use the name “fry” to identify a kid anymore? I think my parents referred to me as a “small fry” many moons ago. :)
Bandit………Burt Reynolds would of loved the choice!
Ha ha – I never saw any of the Smokey and the Bandit movies. Just the other day, I saw the video of the seagull that marches into the small store and snags a bag of Doritos, runs out of the store, puncture a hole in the bag and eats them. I used to see lots of videos of that seagull. I’d name it Bandit too:
That sounds like a Red Neck Sea Gull!
You should watch those movies,you’d laugh!
That gull likes Doritos, plus they are on the bottom shelf at the store – easy to grab-n-go! I have been making a list of TV shows and movies to watch, especially TV shows I missed during my 10+ year hiatus from TV. I’ll add it to my list.
If I was that store owner I would put only articles that cannot be grabbed by a Gull on the lower racks.
Me too Wayne! I wonder if he likes being the shop where the celebrity Gull does all the swiping. The Gull has made the rounds on the internet. Why not just put something else there?
Oh for sure it does! Once any bird finds a great food source you can expect them show up smiling!
There are other videos where its beak stabs the bag and a little poof of air as the contents settle and then it was happily munching on Doritos. Sometimes it shares with friends. I recall now that Sam the Seagull’s hijinks are paid for by customers as they thought it was pretty funny. This was not over here, but in Scotland.
so Wayne my 5 year old grandson says *Swopper* 🤓🙃🙂🦅
Sounds great Hedy! He most certainly was a Swopper!
😉🙃🙂totally made me chuckle Wayne!

Wonderful, Wayne! Thank you for the information. Will also share the news. I am sure a German name would not really fit. Lol Best wishes, Michael
I’ll let you know what the name is Michael. German would be fine!
If you really think so, Wayne! Honestly, i was kidding. Thank you! If you call him “German”, we should try to get a naturalization for him. At least a German passport would be suitable. ;-) Best wishes, Michael
Or you can name him “Frank Walter”, like our actual Federal President. Lol
Don’t see what you ended up with, but I hope you considered Mercutio and Tybalt
I most certainly did consider your excellent choices and thank you for participating!
