</div> I saw a suggestion for the new Steller’s Jay name on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/birding/comments/17m3i51/i_went_ahead_and_renamed_80_birds/?share_id=vY2MJPHK41wmnnvlwg5Xv&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1" class="">this posting</a>.

Old name: Steller’s Jay

<div class="">
New name: Stellar Jay

I think it is a superb name and fitting. Many people don’t know who Georg Steller was anyhow and likely thought that the name was always Stellar Jay. And, like my son commented, “That hairdo do be stellar!”.
