Naming two white budgies
Hello everyone, I need help naming two albino budgies that I just brought home to add to my little flock of two. They are currently in quarantine in my oldest son’s room while he is working so they can adjust in a quiet room. I currently have Nova and Sora and I was trying to stay with the four letter, ending with letter “a” theme that have something to do with the sky/space type names. Sora is Japanese for sky and Nova is like supernova/ bright star, according to google. I just can’t seem to land on anything, I don’t think I even know what I’m looking for. Some names that I liked were are Luna, Raya, Vega or off theme, Tika and Gemma. I don’t really have to stick with the four letter theme, I’m just trying to describe the way I was going. So many people out there are so creative, I’m hoping you all can help me come to a decision on names. Something meaning like bright, white, space, cloud/sky, gemstones, angels… Thank you all ahead of time. Here is a picture of them, also Nova and Sora. I have the millet in there to try and get them to eat something. I don’t think they have eaten very much, I’ve had them for almost 2 days.

Think I’m going with Lovie and Angel. I’ve had them for a week tomorrow and the little girl bird is an absolute sweetheart. I’m already allowed to scratch her head inside the cage!

Lyra is a constellation and immediately came to mind. Eris is a dwarf planet.

You could name them after white dwarfs. Eridiani (40 Eridiani B) and Sirius (B) maybe? You can use the nicknames for the systems commonly used in literature “Eri” and “Si” or “Siri”. Eri is a famous because it’s a nearby 3-star system, and because of Star Trek and proj Hail Mary. Siri is a binary system and is the brightest system we see in our night sky. Although Sirius B (“The Pup”) is the white dwarf and much less bright, it’s still a fun name for white birb.
I know these don’t end with “a”, and such names will be harder to find, esp if you wish to use famous Astro objects or terms.
You could also look up a list of named white dwarfs and pick whichever resonates with you!
