    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!

    He looks like a Black Beard to me.

    To come up with a name, I searched Greek mythology, since your new alpaca’s mother is called Daphne. I found several possibilities, but three struck me as best. The first is Ladon, because he was Daphne’s father. The second is Agon, the god of contests (whose altar was at Olympia, the site of the first Olympic games), because of how you’ve chosen to come up with your baby’s name. The third is Plutus (also known as Ploutos), god of wealth, because your baby will enrich your life in many ways. :-)

    I would suggest Loki… the prankster. Short simple and too the point :)

    Quetzal— after a curious, colorful, proud South American bird. The bird is a rainbow of colors, but your guy is just one, lovely one. If you wanted to point that out, maybe midnight quetzal?

    I’m thinking of Cole Porter. Cole sounds like coal. And Cole Porter wrote wonderful lyrical songs while wearing alpaca suits and coats with great finesse.
