#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.

[–] chernoberl@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Binky 😅

[–] Bradamir@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

We got a winner

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Plus now we'll be immune to magical harm!

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

Kebin :)

[–] SGNL@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] RheingoldRiver@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CynAq@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope Kebin wins out too.

+1 Binny

[–] Graphy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Oggy would be perfect.

[–] ozen@kbin.social 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.

[–] vkeycaps@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Binny

[–] Ni@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So cute, loved seeing the birds development. Kind of love the name kaybee, but binjamin is great as well

[–] AlexRogansBeta@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

A vote for Binjamin

[–] 0rito@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] hyperspace@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] hibbfd@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

[–] VoltasPistol@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Kebin. Rhymes with Kevin.

[–] mookulator@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

I vote Binelope :)

Regardless, nice work.

[–] jackal785@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Kbirb "kay-berb"

[–] UziBobuzi@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] Akip@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Earl?

[–] UziBobuzi@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

Kibby, or Ernie to honor Ernest, or knib

[–] delirium@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Kbirb is the superior choice.

[–] chernoberl@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Klara

[–] sparrowlike@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Kebin Durant

[–] FixedFun@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.......

[–] FixedFun@kbin.social 3 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.

[–] ozen@kbin.social 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.

[–] BUSTANUTELLA@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope it's not too late to suggest names, but howbout knibbler

[–] minnieo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

unfortunately youre a little late, there have been 2 polls since this post and a final name has been chosen. i really do love the name knibbler though, its clever and cute

[–] JungleGeorge@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Binjamin or Binny 🥰

[–] Jupeter@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Binny or Binnie would be perfect.

[–] MuskX@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's female how about just Kay?

Karrot, aka the Bindy Birb

[–] Eggyhead@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

VPN user voting is not allowed, but my vote is for Kibby. Feel free to add that to the total if you want.

[–] Ragnell@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

K. It's his Bin.
