    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!

    I suggest Jameel, it means beautiful in arabic, and I think it suits him because of his proud posture :)

    What a cutie!! I’ll call him Pancho, for no special reason. I just look at his lovely face and feels like he’s inner name is Pancho ;)

    A very handsome young man indeed! How about Kokopelli? According to Hopi Indian legend, Kokopeli (the flute player and traveling prankster) was the symbol of happiness, joy, and fertility. He would visit villages playing his flute, carrying seeds in his backpack (the “hump” he is pictured as having). Everyone would sing and dance through the night. Then, while the people slept, Kokopeli would roam the corn fields, playing his flute. The next morning the people would awake to find the corn almost full grown and Kokopeli gone. One legend has it that he is responsible for the end of winter and the coming of spring. When, the story goes, Kokopeli comes playing his flute, the sun comes out, the snow melts, the green grass grows, the birds begin to sing, and all the animals gather around to hear his songs.
