Edit: Vote on the poll for a name!

See the results here

Here is a mock of an AskKbin icon to show examples of how the kbird can be used as a sort of mascot if you'd like and a comparison between the current icon and the kbird icon

Now I'm thinking he (she?) needs a name. Some ideas I saw were: Kevin, Kebin, Binny, Ben, Binjamin.

Any more ideas? We can do a poll for this as well. I'm partial to Kevin or Binny (short for Binjamin)

What about Bink?

It's both cute and an anagram of KBin.

[–] chernoberl@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Binky 😅

[–] Bradamir@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

We got a winner

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Plus now we'll be immune to magical harm!

The Xanth book series has Bink as the first main character.

Kebin :)

[–] SGNL@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's right there. K.bin. With Kevin sounding the best and combine them, Kebin (Keh Bin).

[–] RheingoldRiver@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Oh I love Kebin rhymes with Kevin and is Kbin with an extra 'e'

[–] CynAq@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope Kebin wins out too.

[–] minnieo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

So cute, loved seeing the birds development. Kind of love the name kaybee, but binjamin is great as well

[–] AlexRogansBeta@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

A vote for Binjamin

[–] 0rito@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hear me out... Replace all upvote divs' backgrounds with this version of Binny, make one where's angry and replace all downvote divs' backgrounds with that one.

[–] hyperspace@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I love Binny the most out of all the suggestions so far!

[–] hibbfd@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

[–] UziBobuzi@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I saw someone in the voting thread say "Early Bird" and I really like that.

[–] Akip@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Earl, The Bird?

[–] scarcer@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Kbirb "kay-berb"

[–] delirium@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I like Ben because it's not so literal but an obvious wink to kbin. maybe Ben K.

[–] WytchStar@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Binji

[–] ozen@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Aww, I like how you added the hearts. So cute! I think I like Binny for a name but Kevin is also nice too.

[–] sparrowlike@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Kebin Durant

[–] chernoberl@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If it's female how about just Kay?

[–] Hobovision@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Kay is a decent non-gendered option. So is Binny imo.

[–] DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Kbirb is the superior choice.

[–] FixedFun@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kevin the Kbird, kwite kool, kwite Kbin!

Yeah that's what I voted, the Kbird looks like a Kevin to me and at least I can spell it unlike a certain alien.......

[–] FixedFun@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

BTW, in many accents or languages "Kbin" and "Kevin" are pronounced the same (taking the K as /keh/ and the I as /ee/) so is a neat pun.

[–] sab@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm rooting for Kevin!

(and, as always, amazing work!)

[–] JungleGeorge@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Binjamin or Binny 🥰

[–] Jupeter@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Binny or Binnie would be perfect.

[–] saplyng@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Aww, they've got such a face that they're easy to make emote a bunch of different ways, gosh I love it. You're good Minnieo!
