A chance meeting with an artist while I was on vacation resulted in this fabulous peacock traveling home with me. It will soon be guarding my reading shed, and I'm at a total loss for a name. I try to use literary inspired names, but also don't like to choose something too obvious.

Thoughts anyone?
I would love to hear bookish suggestions! #whatsinaname #bookishinspirationneeded

Lizpixie It reminds me of that character in Labyrinth, the old man that had the bird on his head! What about Percival? (edited) 6y
CuriousG @Lizpixie That is one I never would have thought of - a definite contender! 6y
CuriousG So I've been thinking about the peacock symbolism in Song of Solomon (one of my fav novels) - but not sure that Milkman (or Guitar) is a great peacock name. Maybe a re-read of the novel will bring something up. I always need at least 3 or 4 potential names to test out before choosing #yesIoveranalyse #gardenartneedslovetoo 6y
