Well now I have... Why are you putting these thoughts in my head?

Their real names are Pavo cristatus and Pavo muticus, the two most predominant species. In either case a peacock and a peahen are the correct names for the sexes of the species. The ''pea'' designation arose from the shortening of their longer and harder to pronounce Latin based names.
