    Help Name Our Alpaca - Contest Ends Soon!

    This cute little alpaca boy needs a name! 

    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!

    Beso del Conquistador
    … because he’s the kiss of the Conquistador!

    Corbie!
    Just had another thought – Corbie is the old Scottish word for Raven…seems to fit.

    Daphne is a name from Greek mythology, so sticking on that note…
    Apollo. Although according to mythology, Apollo pursued Daphne, I’m sure it won’t be that way with your lovely alpacas. In the end, Daphne was changed into a laurel tree, which was sacred to Apollo. So there’s still that special relationship between Daphne and Apollo.

    Since he has a father with such a strong name… and a mother with a Greek name (at least, I associate it with the Greek Daphne) I like “Zeus.”

    Your new addition obviously has star quality and deserves a name that reflects it. I love a good play on words so, here’s what I came up with:
    Al PacaCino (“say hullo to my little friend) my favorite
    Bob DeNERO (”are you lookin’ at me?) (Nero= black in Italian)
    Nat King COAL
    Ebony ZerScrooge
    Or…
    Since I keep thinking his shiny coat looks like black velvet, you can pay homage to every cheesy black velvet portrait you’ve ever seen— and just call him ELVIS.
    What fun!
    Regardless of the name you choose, congrats! He is lovely.
