Llama Name Love

The care and feeding of llamas can be considered relatively simple. Put them in a pasture with green grass, give them some grain from time to time, fresh water, and you are pretty much set. Naming them, however, is a most serious activity. Llamas simply cannot have a boring name like Sally or Bob. They don’t usually have last names either in the familial sense, so llama owners generally take special care to be sure that their first name(s) are jazzy enough to stand alone. Not even holier-than-thou horse owners (hereby referred to as “horse people”) can shake a Himalayan hiking stick at some of the names llama owners come up with.

In many respects, this makes sense. If you are going to be offering up your precious male up for auction, it’s going to rile the crowd up a lot more, if the auctioneer has to say, “We’ll start the bidding for, er, um… Chocolate Sizzle Surprise at 1,000 dollars. Do I hear 1,000 for Chocolate Sizzle Surprise? He’s from an exceptional breeding line, the first offspring of Madam Mochabean III, and Junior Fizzlebeans. Yes, 1,000 will start the bidding.”

So in honor of every oddly named llama or alpaca out there today, here is just a random sampling of Studs and females for sale from llamaweb.
