Help Us Name This Alpaca Beauty!
A Star is Born!
We were able to see this little cria being born. I will blog about it later – with pictures. But first things first. This lovely alpaca princess needs a name. It’s been 4 months since the last time our readers helped us pick a name, and I thought it was time to ask for your assistance again.
When you breed animals, you never quite know what you are going to get. Sometimes you get what you are hoping for, sometimes not. It’s a crapshoot. Certainly we can choose parents with particular traits to stack the deck in our favor, but really, you never know how it’s going to turn out until the baby is born.
Every once in a while, you get EXACTLY what you “ordered”. That is what happened with this little princess. She is charcoal grey. Gorgeous. She has her sire’s star quality, the kind of presence that will make her catch the eye of everyone who visits the farm. She has black around her eyes like eye makeup. *Sigh!* She’s simply divine.
The names for you to choose from include: Sabrina & Tiffany (inspired by Audrey Hepburn movies. The Artist thinks she favors the actress), Freckles (because she does have the cutest black freckles on her white face & I love when Sawyer calls Kate that on “Lost”), Bronwyn (what my mother wanted to name ME before they decided on Katy), and Jocelyn (a name my son came up with that we liked).
Does she look like me?
Freckles?
Okay, Okay. She’s a baby alpaca, not a movie star. But this girl needs a movie star name. She’s really something special.
I have cute freckles
What's my name?
Vote in our poll and help us choose a name! The poll will close in the evening on Monday, March 23rd. Thanks and come back next week to see which name wins!

Oh, I love her! I voted for Tiffany, a bit more glamorous than ‘Freckles’, but it was a really tough call there. I, too, love it when Sawyer calls Kate ‘Freckles’!

She just looks like a “Sabrina” with her long neck and regal bearing.

My daughter wants an alpaca now. She saw this cria and fell in love. She’s 5, so I might have to take her to the farm soon.

Funny – when I first saw the photo, I thought of Audrey Hepburn.

Sabrina! And yes, she does indeed look like Audrey, perhaps my favorite actress of all time.

She is pretty. Got to go with a name that suggests cute: Sabrina.

I like Aubrey. It was a beautiful song. And she is a beautiful little girl.

Sabrina reminds me of that old movie about the daughter of the driver of a wealthy family. She went away to France to school and came back as a glam refined lady. This little one has had humble beginnings but is destined for fame and fortune. Definitely, Sabrina.

Aw, I voted for the least popular one.
Really random how I got here, too. So now I need to tell the story, right?
My wife & I were discussing freckles & how some can be creepy & some not.
Come on, you’ve all thought it.
And I googled Evangeline Lilly freckles & found this site.
The end.
