#1 won by a landslide! Thanks for all the voting and feedback everyone! Now, what is his name? 🤔 (media.kbin.social)

Edit: Vote on the poll for a name!

See the results here

Here is a mock of an AskKbin icon to show examples of how the kbird can be used as a sort of mascot if you'd like and a comparison between the current icon and the kbird icon

Now I'm thinking he (she?) needs a name. Some ideas I saw were: Kevin, Kebin, Binny, Ben, Binjamin.

Any more ideas? We can do a poll for this as well. I'm partial to Kevin or Binny (short for Binjamin)

What about Bink?

It's both cute and an anagram of KBin.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Binky 😅

We got a winner

Plus now we'll be immune to magical harm!

The Xanth book series has Bink as the first main character.

Kebin :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's right there. K.bin. With Kevin sounding the best and combine them, Kebin (Keh Bin).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh I love Kebin rhymes with Kevin and is Kbin with an extra 'e'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I hope Kebin wins out too.

My grandma had a cockatoo that bit the shit out of just me all the time. It’s name was Oggy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oggy would be perfect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They can definitely be pretty mean. I knew a guy who had one and she would bite every person who came over who wasn't a man. She tried to bite me, but I was wearing my winter coat. She bit women and any child that came around, but she was very fond of men with beards for some reason... Birds are weird sometimes.

Idk if Lemmy.World users get a say here, but I say make it a she!

I vote Binelope :)

Regardless, nice work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Binelope is great!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I wonder if cockatoos eat mouse? I sure hope they do. Oh wow they do, watch out Lemmy's Mouse, we are coming.

Hear me out... Replace all upvote divs' backgrounds with this version of Binny, make one where's angry and replace all downvote divs' backgrounds with that one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I love Binny the most out of all the suggestions so far!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

have my happy bird

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I like Ben because it's not so literal but an obvious wink to kbin. maybe Ben K.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Kebin. Rhymes with Kevin.

Kbirb "kay-berb"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I saw someone in the voting thread say "Early Bird" and I really like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Earl?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I went to high school with a guy named Early so it's not inconceivable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Aww, I like how you added the hearts. So cute! I think I like Binny for a name but Kevin is also nice too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

K. It's his Bin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Kbirb is the superior choice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's female how about just Kay?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Kay is a decent non-gendered option. So is Binny imo.

Kevin the Kbird, kwite kool, kwite Kbin!

Yeah that's what I voted, the Kbird looks like a Kevin to me and at least I can spell it unlike a certain alien.......

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

BTW, in many accents or languages "Kbin" and "Kevin" are pronounced the same (taking the K as /keh/ and the I as /ee/) so is a neat pun.
