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.

Reminds me of the one about the Beatles.

Paul: Guys, I’ve written the greatest love song ever. John: I’ve written a song to change the world for the better of humanity. George: I’ve traveled the world and incorporated new instruments from other cultures. Ringo: I’ve written a song about a yellow submarine.

And Ringo's is the best song to scream sing when you're drunk as fuck.
