The full binominal assigned to this species is Sesquiavis sesquiavis, which translates into English as ‘One-and-a-half-bird one-and-a-half-bird’. Professors Redrose & White acknowledge that this was inspired by one of their crew using the expression “That’s a bird and a half!” when they first saw the fossil clearly, but deny firmly that their repetition of the genus’s name as the specific designation as well was because another person present at that uncovering responded to the original statement with “You can say that again!”
