In Reply to: Think I should name the iglets? Name suggestions? posted by Annaka on February 06, 2003 at 00:03:47:

The bold one could be called " Sapeca".It means exactly what he is.The shy one could be called: "Arisco(areescoo)".It means skittish in portuguese.By the way i dont think your igs came from Brazil.Its against the Brazilian laws to export/import and even to keep wild animals in captivity.I dont even know if i can enter Brazil, my own country,with my igs when i return home!!LOL!!
PS:The " Ultimate Owners Manual" has great igs names in its last pages.
#################################################################:I can't keep calling them "bold one" and "skittish one" indefinitely. I want to give them real names, but I can't think of any really good ones... I want something short, that sounds good, and possibly reflects their personalities. Not a definite male or female name, something that could be changed according to what they become. Maybe something in a foreign language, spanish or portugese - that's where they come from...

:The bold baby's personality is mischief, trouble waiting to happen. He is fearless, and likes to run around and explore. I am constantly watching him when he's out for exercise, not because he's trying to escape, but to prevent him from getting into trouble. He readily runs up to me for food.

:Skittish baby is more standoffish and wary, and tends to back off from situations he does not know. He is always watchful, on alert, ready to run away. I have to be careful not to scare him. He is much more aware of possible dangers and predators. He will approach me only when he sees the other iglet completely relaxed and eating near me.

:Any name suggestions?

:So far I have come up with:
:Bold one:
:Jem (Jemma)
:Mackenzie

:Skittish one:
:Shiloh
:Lear
:Xial
