Funny, salty names for gulls with attitude
1,000 names for seagulls: snack heist jokes like Chip Thief and Grand Theft Sandwich, mock titles like Sir Squawks-a-Lot, puns like Gulliver and Bay Gull, and salty seaside names such as Brine, Skipper and Spindrift.
About seagull names
Seagull is the everyday word. Birders say gull, because there are about fifty species and many of them live far from the sea. The bird people name is usually one bird: the herring gull that owns the harbor wall, a rescued chick, a team mascot, a cartoon character, or the one that left with your lunch.
So the list is funny first. There are snack heists (Chip Thief, Grand Theft Sandwich, Pasty Pincher), mock titles (Sir Squawks-a-Lot, Mayor of the Marina), day jobs (The Pier Reviewer, Promenade Inspector), puns on the word itself (Gulliver, Gull Friday, Bay Gull), seafront outlaws (The Codfather, Two-Chip Tony) and names for the noise (Squawkward, Rooftop Opera). The jokes are about the bird's nerve and appetite, never about hurting it.
The salty half is quieter: ship and harbor words (Bosun, Halyard, Brine), wind and tide (Squall, Spindrift, Sou'wester), seaside food (Scampi, Kipper, Whelk), old salts and sea gods, and seaside towns paired with a first name (Whitby Wally, Padstow Pete). Species names and the word for gull in other languages are here too: Kittiwake, Larus, Mouette, Gaviota, Kamome. A small share are gulls from books and film, and the FAQ says which.
How to choose seagull names
- For the gull that turns up every day, give it a job. The Pier Reviewer, Harbor Master, Chief Bin Officer and Lamppost Lookout all describe what the bird is already doing.
- A rescued chick or a young bird suits a gentler name such as Fledge, First Flight or Windowsill. Large gulls are mottled brown for their first few years, so Mottle, Tweed and Freckle fit a youngster before the grey and white comes in.
- A mascot needs a name a crowd can shout. Keep it to one or two beats: Swoop, Divebomb, Wonder Wing, Captain Updraft.
- For a cartoon or story character, pair a grand title with a small crime. Sir Lands-on-Cars, General Nuisance and Commodore Crumb tell the reader who the bird is before it speaks.
- If you know the species, use it. Kittiwake, Ringbill, Blackback and Glaucous are real gull words, and a seaside town name such as Tenby Ted or Cape May Mae pins the bird to its home patch.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good name for a seagull?
Start with what the bird does. A bold harbor gull suits Chip Thief, Harbor Master or Mayor of the Marina, and a calmer bird suits a seaside word such as Brine, Skipper, Spindrift or Whitecap. Plain human names are funny on a large bird too, which is why Nigel, Gladys and Gary are in the list.
What are some funny seagull names?
The list has several kinds. Snack jokes include Grand Theft Sandwich, Cone Snatcher and Two Stars Would Steal Again, and the mock titles include Sir Squawks-a-Lot and Lord of the Lamppost. For puns on the word gull, try Gulliver, Gull Friday, Legull Eagle or Everything Bay Gull.
Are famous seagulls from films and books in the list?
A few, as a nod. Scuttle is the gull in The Little Mermaid and Kehaar is the gull in Watership Down. Jonathan Livingston, Fletcher Lynd and Chiang come from Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and Kengah and Lucky from Luis Sepúlveda's story of a gull chick raised by a cat. Chekhov is a nod to the play The Seagull, and Mine Mine Mine to the gulls in Finding Nemo. The rest of the list is not taken from gull characters.
Is seagull the right word for these birds?
It is the common word and everyone understands it. Bird books say gull, since many species nest and feed inland and only some, like the kittiwake, spend most of the year at sea. Larus, the genus of the large gulls, is in the list along with species names such as Kittiwake, Sabine and Ivory.
