We'd like help in naming our newest addition to our alpaca ranch. Here are some characteristics about this little boy who was born a couple of weeks ago. He is dark brown with soft, silky fiber that we'll eventually shear and sell as yarn on our website. He's really fast running around the pasture, likes to pronk, is very curious, is very proud in his stance like his father (Snowmass Conquistador). He is very independent but still likes to stay by his mom (Daphne) in the evenings. There's more pictures on our ranch website photo gallery So here's the deal, suggest a name in the comments section of this blog along with reason.
The winner will get a $25 gift card from Alpaca Direct.
So..put on your creative hat, think about his characteristics and have fun suggesting a great name for this little boy alpaca!

Erebus, the greek god of the night and shadow, is very distinguished and would sound good on a ball band around his sleek, shadowy wool!

If you want something mythological yet related to his South American origins, you could call him
Andeanubis
…Anubis being the black, dog-headed Egyptian god of the dead, with a nod to the Andes. It rolls off the tongue, too!

Hi the first name that came to mind was Black Star. He looks light the black night sky, but I bet he will be the Star of your lives.

I think the name Pronk would be cute.

well if I am not too late I would like to say … BLANKIE… I hope that’s not horrible of me but when I saw him the first thought that came to mind was how his coat reminded me of a nice warm blanket. He is so adorable congratulations on him.

Ivan, why, I don’t know, he looks like an Ivan.

I go for the obvious…. “Harry”. There is something absurdly funny about an overly obvious name.

I like Duff of Conquistador. Duff is Gaelic for Black, it is the female usage, the male usage was Dwayne, an alpaca with such a regal bearing is not a Dwayne, no offense to all the Dwaynes out there.
