Name the pigeons!

Several weeks back, I discovered that one of my balcony was starting to have dry twigs accumulating and predicted that there is probably a bird building a nest. And about a week back, there was this big fat pigeon who finally showed up and took declared the nest as her property. Few days back, I noticed that she had laid an egg, and thought I should be nice to feed her with some of my bread for breakfast everyday. 2 days later, out came the second egg! She is still eating the baguette that I have for breakfast everyday although my girlfriend mentioned that I shouldn't be feeding her else she might get used to the feeding and lose her instinct to find food on her own.

But anyways, we are extremely excited about the 2 eggs and can't wait to see them hatch soon. I found that it should take them about 17-19 days to hatch and hopefully, can be back in time from my trip home to see them hatch.

Maybe some of you can suggest some names for them!
