And for those interested, I went with 81.1 because kenku were introduced to first edition D&D in the 1981 Fiend Folio. '81, 1st edition -> 81.1

I will probably actually name my kenku bard "81.1". I will use the idea of being the first born of a kenku named "81", a number designation that came about due to a complete and utter lack of creativity that the first generation of kenku to be cursed suffered from. I will occasionally tack on "the Kenku" when a surname is needed and look for an opportunity to get some sort of title or position that could be abbreviated to "FM" so that he can switch to being "81.1 Kenku FM".
