You get three choices but once you vote you can not go back and change them - you have another day to make your final choices, so you have a bit longer to take the leap!

Watching peregrine falcons on live cams is educational for humans so naming a chick in honour of an educator may be a way for us to express gratitude to the peregrines; considering that, I think it would be nice to name our male in honour of Wilfred Gilbert Pearce, educator.
Pearce rhymes with pierce and our cute “little terror” has been known to pierce skin (in his defence against humans), so the name Pearce would again be fitting for this youngster (in my opinion). And of course I’m hoping he will live a long life as a fierce and powerful adult peregrine.

It's a small world (after all)!
Thank you for sharing the interesting information regarding Jean Ann Purdie and her connection to you and your family, RCF.
At first glance I liked the name Purdie (maybe because it rhymes with my forum name - not sure - but I like it).
In my post above I forgot to mention that "It's a Small World" was a song that came to mind while reading RCF's post. I assume most people will recognize the song but it may help to post the lyrics.
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
