Birds and a Goblin!

So I recently started (another) hunter, and this time she's a goblin who is taming nothing but birds of prey! Similar to my worgen with nothing but cats, I wanted to go with a naming theme all based around one letter. My worgen used S, and a friend suggested my goblin use Y, so I named her Yortzi and started out to tame birds. Problem... I don't have many Y names! I managed to name one bird Yanatri, but my owl and seagull are as of yet nameless, and I feel I'll have the same problem with my soon to be parrots, and other future pets. I'm looking for a good list of Y names, if anyone has one. They can even be gibberish, so long as they look pretty or 'goblinish'.
As well, I'm having a problem with giving my goblin a last name. I looked around at some goblins, and most of them have names dealing with their profession, But I can't think of any good ones that would work for a bird breeder goblin and doesn't end up sounding more like an elf or tauren name. Halp?

Y is a tough letter to find 25 other really great names for. Might I suggest Y's neighbor in the alphabet as an alternate option, the letter Z for your pet names? If you're dead set on the letter Y however, I'll see what I can come up with for you once I've gotten some sleep.
Just in case, here are some cute and zany names with the letter Z (just off the top of my head).
Zahur
Zaida
Zebulon
Ziarre
Zudora
Zytka
Zoltan
Ziva
Zifara
Zelax
Zennon
Zykes
Zenai
Zahara
Zephyr
Zaptos

I actually like a lot of those! I ended up naming my owl Yoric

And I'm considering using Yale, Yasmine, Yolande, and Yeva too. I'm pretty set on using Y, but In the future I may make a character that tames all snakes/wind serpents, and Z is a very good choice
As for the last name, someone in game suggested Youngcoop in keeping with the Y theme, and it stuck ^_^
