Names! (+ naming traditions)

[inkmage]

So in the Conspiracy, they do what's been dubbed driftwood-naming. After the eggs hatch, the chicks are named based on the first thing that they stumble across on the shore or the Pier.

Non-bag seagull's name is Snorkel. Bag seagull's name is Kelp. (Brother-with-the-pink-tailfeathers' name is, I kid you not, Stick-in-the-Mud. He goes by Stick, but he does very much live up to his name, hence the prank that turned his tailfeathers pink. Don't worry, the dye will come out. Eventually. The next time he molts.)

The Flock uses the parents' discretion in the naming of their chicks, especially because at the time of the story, the Flock is a veritable empire, encompassing many different cultures. The exception is if a gull shows potential and is taken in to be part of the elite vanguard force, in which case s/he is taken away from his/her family young enough that they will have no clear memory of the event, and they are taught that whatever number-order they are given is their name, so pervasively that is really is their name. So the third seagull's name is actually Third.

So we have Snorkel as a Stealer, Kelp as a Wheeler, and Third as part of the Flock.
