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!

Somebody already proposed a variant of licorice – the spanish name for that is Regaliz (wish is regal-ish, LOL)
another that comes to mind is Machin – in honor of the cuban composer Antonio Machin, who has a famous song about how painters always forget little black angels in their paintings.
I know there is a reason why my pets are always named by somebody else, LOL

I looked at him and thought, he has that same oh so serious look of my Beagle Atticus Finch. So I am saying Atticus Finch should be his name. We named our beagle that because he looks so serious, but is really just a ball of love. And I can see that in your baby here, he looks serious, but loves to run around and have fun.

He just said Harald to me (norse style, not Harold) Or Herold- the messager, fleet of foot, for-runner, etc.

Hi I was looking at the picture and the name Inky Al popped into my mind but it sounds like a gangster so then I thought that Raven might be a good name He is as cute as can be.
