Baby Name Poll Results

Hmmm, you could maybe try a combination of names referring to honey, jewels, birds or flight eg Ruby Melissa (ruby being a jewel, and melissa meaning honeybee), Saphira Avia (like the jewel sapphire, and aviation=flight)

Hummingbirds were very important to the Aztecs, who called them Huitzil - maybe a little odd for a first name, but perhaps a middle?

Trinidad and Tobago is known as the land of the hummingbird - Trinnie do anything for you?

Maybe Violet, as violetear is a a species of hummingbird

Certain species of hummingbird contain usable names such as: Sylph, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Violet, Angel, Garnet, Topaz

My name is Huitzil, which means hummingbird in Nahuatl. There are different variations that include Huitzili. Just adding an I. The name is pronounced Wee-tz-eel. I love it and enjoy it because it is unique and creates a nice different name instead of a typical one.

Nocchi short for Pinocchio

Just found this site years after the initial question. I am from Trinidad and Tobago and the above poster is correct, it was known as "land of the hummingbird" to the Kalinago, but the words for the island were Kairi (my son's name) or Iere. Two regional words. The names Trinidad and Tobago were given to the islands by colonizers and don't translate to land of hummingbird like the original names do!
