When I created this owl, I gave it the name "Couché Tard" which is a french nickname for an owl (literal translation: "Sleeps Late").... Early versions of this owl have ended up with the nickname "Shotgun Owl" due to the belly feathers being white in the initial versions, which some people thought made it look like it had been shot. Some people feel that we shouldn't name a mascot... As creator of the graphic, I could force the issue... but I would much rather if the community has a name that the community wants. Please provide your suggestions in this thread. If the owl is adopted as a mascot, we will have a second vote thread to confirm its name. I personally recommend a gender neutral name.
