Loft Names

[amoonswirl]

I'm just wondering how many people here name their lofts. And for the ones who do - how did you come up with your loft's name?

I like to name things, and my loft is no exception. But I am finding it to be a very daunting task to come up with an appropriate name...perhaps because there's so much invested in it I don't want to choose something dumb or something that I will regret later...

Any thoughts or advice on this matter would be appreciated

Hi Karen....checked your photos.....you have fancies, fantail and feral....so for a loft name I suggest ... Fanfanfer Lofts.

I am looking to name my loft soon here too. I'm thinking to name my loft Five Dollar Lofts because the birds I started with cost me only five dollars. But I don't know if I'm gonna keep it? I'm still new so I am still deciding myself also.

Hi pigeonnewb
have you considered
other references to a five dollar bill like FIVER...or FINNOTE or perhaps different language like Spanish CINCO?

My loft/how name is Best Friends Loft, becausem before Baby Beepers arrival, my pigeons were my best feathered friends. I still love my pigeons, always will, but there's a special little bird in my life, now.

My loft is called RKM Lofts. RKM is both mine and my dad's initials, so it fit. Before that I temporarily called it Birds Of A Feather, which I found is the name of a lot of lofts/aviaries.

I remember you saying your Facebook name was Wisteriax. So maybe Wisteria Loft? (I've run out of creativity today, haha)

My loft is ROLLING THUNDER LOFTS.
The way it got its name is due to the fact that when I decided to build my loft I took a 1 week vacation from work thinking I would be able to finish it in a week. Wouldn't you know it we get over 40 days and nights of rain and thunder storms. It takes me about 8 weeks to finally finish the loft. It also has a double meaning because of the Roller pigeons that I raise.

Our loft name is Sleeping Dove Loft because the first birds, besides hookbills, that we took in were 2 diamond doves.

My loft's name is Quiet Time Loft. My work is very noisy. When I come home all I want is some Quiet Time. The time I am in my loft, is ALWAYS my favorite Quiet Time.

my loft is not that original at the Hill Family Loft, but my mentor has the classic name for a loft. He just calls his "The Doo Drop Inn Loft". I could not beat that one so I just settled for what I had.

I do build fly rods and call my side business, "Cutthroat Custom Fly Rods". You can't beat a good name.

My wife was in child care and called her business "Alphabet Soup Day School".

Thought about "Back to the Futurity Loft" among other things. Also the "Hill Boys Loft". I thought people would associate us with the Jones Boys, who are the partiers of the pigeon world. My kids are 7, 9, and 11. They don't party yet.

Our loft is named "9 Points Racing Loft". We chose this name because my wife and I are both members of the Baha'i Faith and one of its symbols is the 9 pointed star. Much the same as Christians use a cross and the Jewish Faith uses the star of David. If you are interested or curious about the faith you can go here for more info.

We figured we could use all the help we can get, especially divine assistance!

Karen, I like this one. It has a nice sound to it. Maybe you could plant some wisteria outside of the loft.

Wow!! Thanks everyone for sharing your stories and your loft names!!
So much personal meaning behind all of them - and lots of thought. That's exactly the kind of name I want

I haven't mentioned this before but in addition to my eclectic mix of fancy breeds, I am going to be starting with some Birmingham Rollers very soon. It's something I've been researching for the past year, and have decided I want to try. I think it's going to be a good fit for me and I'm fortunate to be getting some excellent birds to begin with.

I also have Ringneck Doves, which were my first birds. And as MaryOfExeter mentioned I have my own stage names for my music projects that I'm tempted to draw from as well - Wisteriax being the name I've used the longest.

So those are the things I am pondering, among others. I also want the name to convey the peaceful and almost spiritual mood that the birds put me in when I am around them, if that's possible. Tall order for a name, lol!

But anyway, thank you for sharing your Loft Names and the stories behind them. I hope more people will contribute to this thread as well. Very interesting to read about the creative process, and all of the personal symbolism that goes into a name.

My loft is called, "On Golden Wings" loft because my birds are getting older and I plan on having a community of happy/healthy geriatric/retired pigeons, God willing.

I used the name lokota loft here cuz I like to keep all things native but my real loft name that I use here is Painted Pigeon Villa as my pigeons are a work of art
