In regional versions of Sesame Street Big Bird has an actual name (although usually it isn't the exact same character, but another kind of large bird). I think mostly because in those languages it wouldn't be an alliteration. But I like to think it's just because Americans are rude and never bothered to learn their name, calling them Big Bird because of how they look.
