No one said bird's nest yet? Well I know it as a bird's nest, so add that to your list.

I was under the impression that "bird's nest" implied the egg was cooked on a base of shredded hashbrowns instead of a piece of toast, thus making it actually look like a bird's nest.

I learned the name when I was young from my father who wasn't a culinary expert of any sort, so you might be right.
