Namer?[edit]

Does anyone know who it was that first used the phrase "Bearded Helmetcrest"? The article only mentioned its scientific name, but I think it would be a great insight if we could discuss what exactly made that person give it such a ridiculous name. Ive always been really interested in localization of names and pet-names and the like (Just trying to make sure everyone knows I am serious, as I noticed my question could be taken as a forum or troll post or somesuch fairly easily.) 74.128.56.194 (talk) 04:10, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good question, and one that I don't know the answer to. Ummm...well, if someone finds out they are welcome to add it. Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:07, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
