At a craft fair yesterday I couldn't resist this gorgeous creature. She needs a name. Let's hear 'em.

She's obviously a French Giraffe. Alice would do. Even though Alice is a camel. But still Alice.

I recognize this creature, clearly the hippie daughter of the Spongmonkeys from the Quiznos commercial! I suggest Ivanka.

Much too dainty to be a Squamous. Way more of a Squamellita.

She's a perfect Stella.

How has no one said Stella yet?

She demands my grandmother's name...Opal Algatha!

Marceline. Or something else very French -- the beret gives her away. (Marceline is also the name of an asteroid, discovered in Nice, and this gorgeous creature is clearly otherworldly.)

Response by poster: So many wonderful names here, thank you all so much. Even those of you who didn't like her :-P

The very first name - Flora Venus - is the one that grabbed me and which seems to fit her perfectly.
