Allegory's taken, cute but taken. You'd need to put a word in front of it--you could opt for Eastern Allegory for example. For those that want to do a quickie check on their name availability: http://www.registry.jockeyclub.com/r...esrch&rand=813

I found the term "Bird Parliament" when I tried to work with Storm Bird and the idea of allegory. It's the title of a translation by the poet Edward Fitzgerald who did the translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. I'll come up with some more in a little bit. I love doing these. Bird Parliament isn't my absolute fave or best effort but it's a fun meaning and is actually kinda deep. I like names with stories, as opposed to the horses I just saw on TVG 'Takemywife Please' and 'Fillycreamcheese'
