Thanks again to the students at Griffith Thomas Elementary School in Dublin for hosting this year's naming contest for the Columbus chicks! Students from grades 1 through 5 submitted close to 600 names! A panel of wildlife partners and local media narrowed the names down to these 6 finalists:
DART
BLAZE
FLAME
MYSTERY
HOSHI (Japanese for "star")
SONIC*
DART
BLAZE
FLAME
MYSTERY
HOSHI (Japanese for "star")
SONIC*
Voting will continue through 8 am on Tuesday, May 13th.
*Note: Long time fans may remember Sonic was used in 2005 for a male chick. Since that time we've had no sightings of Sonic and it has been over 5 years since the name was used. According to our contest guidelines that name is eligible to be used again.
