Time when you get to live out your secret dream of being a farmer and living with me out in the middle of nowhere. Help us name a girl from the herd! Mmmm Hmmm. Put on your overalls and your best plaid shirt. Grab your fancy (and clean, I bet) boots out of the closet. Throw a sassy straw hat on and get’ta thinkin’.
[LAST] [YEAR] Last year, you did us some serious proud with Rio Safari and Barbie Doll’s girl. Girl from Ipanema is happy and healthy out in the pasture as we speak.
This year, you are naming a sweet lil’ thing (literally)… baby girl of ‘Sugar and Spice’ and Rio Grande.
That’s her right there. Cute as a button. And that’s her Mamma. Mamma is a big girl. Sugar doesn’t tolerate any kind of anything from anybody or anything. Can you tell? She’s the boss. Sugar is our girl who meets you at the gate and paws the dirt like she’s straight out of Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla. Try putting THAT on your business card. But, we love Sugar. She’s got spirit. Yes she does.
So yell ’em out! Show me what’cha got! Live the dream! Do me proud!
Apple pie, anyone?

She looks like a Heidi Sue. Trust me.

I’m working on a very clever name!

Shanda Bravo
(Shanda because hey, I’m sugar and spice baby.) 😉
(Bravo because in Mexico, the Rio Grande is called Rio Bravo.)

This may not be the most PC name, but I’m going to submit it anyway: Spicy Little Mexican Number

Caramel Grande….she is really pretty!

I’m going for a literal combination of the two parents – and choosing
Cherokee Bean
It’s a plant that grows along the Rio Grande Valley with these pretty long flashy red tube flowers up the stem (kinda’ like horns?). It’s really beautiful. It’s super sweet and bright to attract hummingbirds & butterflies – but poisonous for other wildlife (a bit of her mamma’s spirit?)
It’s also called Coral Bean
But I will also secretly admit that if we were voting right now, I’d vote for another one in the list ahead of me… ya’ll are so creative!!

Agh! I’m just reading this today! So, i’m probably too late. What about Dulcinea? That’s the beautiful lady that Don Quijote falls for. Such a wonderful story AND “dulce” means sweet in Spanish. So it’s only fitting that Sugar’s daughter be named “Dulci”. 🙂
