Hi RT and Tweeters,

I got these funny responses to coot hatchling names and thought "you all" might get a chuckle from these and I hope RT doesn't mind I posted them for all.

Now I have so many more options regarding young cute coot names:-)

In the south, they're cooters. Around here they're cootettes. Most places they're cooties. No one calls them cootlings except when they're being breaded and deep-fried.
