#1 won by a landslide! Thanks for all the voting and feedback everyone! Now, what is his name? 🤔 (media.kbin.social)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Binky 😅

I was gonna say keeb but this is way better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Plus now we'll be immune to magical harm!

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

Kebin :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope Kebin wins out too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

A vote for Binjamin

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Kebin. Rhymes with Kevin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Binji

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Kbirb is the superior choice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Kbirb "kay-berb"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kibby, or Ernie to honor Ernest, or knib

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

kibby is so cute, and i love the idea for the ernest tribute

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm rooting for Kevin!

(and, as always, amazing work!)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Binjamin or Binny 🥰

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Binny or Binnie would be perfect.

If it's female how about just Kay?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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.......

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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.
