mostin Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ooooh I feel very humble and honoured . Just found this on the internet sen·ti·nel (snt-nl) n. One that keeps guard; a sentry. tr.v. sen·ti·neled or sen·ti·nelled, sen·ti·nel·ing or sen·ti·nel·ling, sen·ti·nels 1. To watch over as a guard. 2. To provide with a guard. 3. To post as a guard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [French sentinelle, from Italian sentinella, probably from Old Italian sentina, vigilance, from sentire, to watch, from Latin sentre, to feel; see sent- in Indo-European roots.] Can't wait to see them in action .

mostin Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Now I'm really blushing . I can't wait to see them in-situ. I just love the way they look as if they are wearing loads of mascara and eyeliner all the time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENthusiastic Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Sentinal Herd: Sentinal Kyros, Sentinal Lief and Sentinal Linden. Congratulations and thank you Mostin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Smashing! great names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thank you. Not totally sure about 'lief' though. They already have these names, and Mosting gave them the Sentinal part, so I cant really take credit at all! I expect they will probably drop the 'sentinal' part day to day and just use that for formal occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Great news HEN! Do Alpaca know their names or can you change them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think we could change them. We like Kyros a lot. Linden's okay. Lief not sure. Any suggestions??? Here we go again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Lief brings to mind a certain Lief Garrett from the 70s not sure whether the spelling is the same though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I don't think they do recognise their names, well Larry didn't anyway I like names from films or cartoons hence Alvin, Simon and Theodoe, Babs and Richard & Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yay . I love the name Kyros. I'm afraid I won't be able to help giggling at Linden as Shaun has a cousin Linden who is a bit of a poser and takes himself quite seriously . I am picturing your alpaca in gucci shoes and talking loudly on a really expensive cell phone . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, amazingly enough he's had the same northern upbringing as the rest of Shaun's family. we think he's trying to escape from his roots .

Yorkshire Pudding Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 He doesn't have a small child who plays rugby near us does he? The man you describe was standing by the pitch last night, wearing very expensive sunglasses, hand made suit and posh shoes, constantly on his phone, holding a shiny briefcase. He had brought his child to training, taken his briefcase out of the car to hold and spent the whole hour on the phone but never opened the case once . All the other parents were in jeans and fleeces (and me in my work skirt and fleece, got home late and no time to change all of me! ). Why he had to take his briefcase out of the car and hold it for an hour on the touchline was quite beyond us.... but we had a good giggle at him anyway!

mostin Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 , Not him I'm afraid. He has a daughter, who as yet, is still lovely and unspoilt, but i'm sure wouldn't be playing Rugby as she needs to get her own pony soon. people like that amuse me greatlt though .
