Marjorie Mourningdove was the name I gave the first of her kind to visit our bird feeders.
Herman Wouk’s Marjorie Morningstar inspired me. I didn’t know anything about that novel until I googled it and found a Slate article, "Marjorie Morningstar:The conservative novel that liberal feminists love."
Mourning doves tend to travel in pairs. I referred to them as the Marjories for a couple years. Eventually Iggy dubbed the husband "Marvin" because the name sounded good with Marjorie.
Today I saw three mourning doves loitering near our thistle feeder. I named the interloper Marnie after the troubled woman in Alfred Hitchcock’s film of the same name.
