How the Turkey Name Generator works
This turkey name generator gives names for pet and farm turkeys, Thanksgiving fun and pardoned pairs: Gobbles, Sir Wattlesworth the Third, Drumstick, Butterball, Lord Snoodbury of Cranberry Hall and Pecan and Pie. Choose a style and generate up to fifty names.
How the turkey name generator works
Turkey names come in five styles. Gobble puns play on the bird's call, wattle and snood. Posh turkeys get a title and a grand surname for a bird that struts like it owns the farm. Thanksgiving food names, such as Butterball and Drumstick, are the joke everyone makes at the table, and farmyard names are ordinary names that suit a backyard flock. Pardoned pairs give two matching names, in the spirit of the turkeys spared each November.
Naming a flock
If you keep several turkeys, a theme helps everyone remember who is who: all posh titles, all pies, or names matching the breed, such as Bronze for a Broad Breasted Bronze or Norfolk for a Norfolk Black. Tom is the traditional name for a male turkey, and a female is a hen.

FAQ
What is a good name for a pet turkey?
A good pet turkey name suits its personality. A proud strutting tom carries Sir Wattlesworth or Duke Gobbleton well, while a friendly hen might be Hazel or Mabel. Gobble puns such as Waddles and Gobbles are the most popular choice with children.
What are the presidential pardoned turkeys called?
Each year in the United States two turkeys are pardoned at Thanksgiving and given a pair of matching names, often foods or places. Use the Pardoned pair style to generate paired names in the same spirit for a school event, a family game or two birds of your own.
What is a male turkey called?
A male turkey is called a tom or gobbler, a female is a hen, and a young turkey is a poult. Young males are sometimes called jakes and young females jennies, which also make good names for a pair of birds.
