Hi everybody!

My long longed-for girls have just arrived (see my new avatar!) and are busy settling in; which means that they have disappeared into the hut - but so has the food I've scattered around the cage...

Thanks to everybody who has helped me with choosing a name! More in time...

So far, I've just got the one I use for my new avatar!

PS: Love your new one...
 
Nerys and Nia have just been both out to gobble down yet another handful of grass with me still sitting nearby, so we are getting somewhere...

They are VERY skittish, though, and are diving for cover at the least movement. But that's why I got them, and so far things are going well. But not well enough for more pics, yet!
 
Aww so pleased you got them, and the names were my fav too haha! Good luck with them, they will settle. Nobody come be more skittish than Flora and Fleur, they had been so looked after at Sokel rescue that coming here was a huge change for them.

But they are fine now and love their cuddles! Hope to see snaps when they settled! x
 
They both look lovely. Look forward to seeing photos of them once they have settled and are up for a bit of posing! :))
 
here they are, sorry about the wait, I was having dinner then I had to unjam the shredder!

hope that's OK in here
 
Yes, they are sisters, around 10 months old. Though Nerys is quite a bit bigger than Nia!
 
Gorgeous girls, congrats! Wonderful names too. I love the slightly unusual, more uncommon names.
 
We've just come back from the vets (Dizzy's mites playing up again).

I took the girls as well and they managed fine. The vet didn't have to take them out of their beds in the box for their mites treatment.

Back at home, we had - horror of horrors - an urgently needed bath, but the girls were VERY well behaved and are just now recovering with a nice bowl full of veg and their favourite treat, basil. Hopefully, I will be forgiven by tomorrow!

At least, that's all the shocks done and over in one fell swoop...
 
Not the names I chose 8... 8... :(|)

but it doesn't matter as they are beautiful anyway :)

Thank you anyway! I was so pleased that so many of you voted!

I really liked all of the names, so I let my family back in Switzerland cast the deciding vote between Seren/Aeron and Nerys/Nia, which were the names that fitted them best after having met them for the first time. Nerys is the boss and Nia the "bright" one in every sense of the word.

How is "Nerys" pronounced? Never heard that name before.

Like "Neris". It's a Welsh name meaning "lady".
"Nia" is the Welsh version of Irish "Niamh" (Neeve) and means "bright".

I've already got a Llewelyn, so I wanted to stay with the Welsh theme.
 
ah, all of their names are beautiful! ;)

Just wanted to make sure I was pronouncing them correctly! :)
 
Not so easy, is it? Though you Brits are the worst by far in terms of unpredictability of names!

But if you want something to really twist your tongue around, wait until I tell you my real name (which is neither Swiss nor Welsh, but Friesian, like in the cows... - ouch!)

I'm American :p :))


so, you gonna tell us your real name now? :))
 
It's Wiebke (spoken like "Veebka") - that's why I use Vicky with strangers.

Me too! -c

me too but within reason. I have spent hours looking in the 40,001 baby names book and some are utterly ridiculous!

I like classical and traditional, me...
