This blog follows the lives of four Corsac foxes, three Fennec foxes and two Arctic foxes that live in captivity. It will cover how they settle in, how we and they adapt and their general daily lives. I hope that it will make for an interesting read if nothing else!

Mr. Sapphire needs a first name
I am stuck for a first name for Mr Sapphire and would love the help of you all. Preferably something that goes with the colour blue as he, like Sapphire is a blue phase Arctic fox. Person with the best name wins 4 Flashman foxes badges, 4 runners up get 1 each!
So far my other half want's to go for Smurf but I don't see that one happening and my daughter again want's to go for Slush like she wanted us to choose for Sapphire as she likes blue slush puppies but I am not sure. . .
Either reply to this blog post or on our Facebook page with your ideas.
I very much look forward to hearing from you all!

Hmm. Thinking of the colour Blue always reminds me of the Ocean or the Sky.
ReplyDeleteI recently named my new boy bunny Kaimu, which means Ocean Dream.
My ideas are:
Kaito (Ocean)
Kairi (Ocean Village)
Sora (Sky)
That's off the top of my head. I can probably think of more if needed :)
P.S He's lovely!
Opal? Topaz? Azurite? All blue coloured gems, goes with Sapphire :D

Lapus Lazuli is a deep blue found in Afghanistan and a few other areas on the Middle East. It's a stone, that was ground to create the paint color Lapus in ancient and medieval times. They would also cut it to make mosaics.
ReplyDeleteHow about Lunae? It's Latin for 'moon', as he he looks kind of the same colour, and saying "Sapphire and Lunae" has a nice ring to it. There's also "Amnis" which means river in the same language.
ReplyDeleteThere is also an old Omaha native american name: Mimiteh, meaning 'new moon', as he's making a new start in the best place he could be right now.
