Anyone know off the tops of their heads if the golden eagle has any sort of mythological or religious significance anywhere?

Golden eagle feathers are used in Scotland to indicate being nobility (or being granted the right to wear them by the nobility.)

See "Balmoral".

You will NOT name your child "Golden Eagle".

Tomas says we're naming it, "The Doctor".

That Dr. Who should come with a warning label.

Golden Eagles were the standard of Roman Legions, which was later used by Napoleonic armies. It's not strictly religious/mythic, but I think it counts.
