Love your priest and llama.#4: Heather M (AuntieH) on Jan 8, 2014
In the casual Spanish of the southwest "como se llamo or llama was used to ask someone their name depending on whether they were were male (o) of female (a). Those who speak more formal Spanish, use this phrase to ask the name of a thing.
Thanks Norma, and thanks for the inspiration. Your llama is so cute. While I don't speak Spanish, I've picked up a phrase here and there, so knew your puzzle was asking for a name. I really liked your play on words.#5: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 8, 2014
Thanks, Heather. I figured you knew but wasn't sure about others.#6: Susan Nagy (susannagy54) on Jan 8, 2014
Ogden Nash wrote a very short poem about this, and I was reminded of it almost as soon as I saw the title. Fun puzzle!#7: Heather M (AuntieH) on Jan 8, 2014 [SPOILER]

Same as Susan, I thought of Ogden Nash. :)#9: Alisa G (sleepsong) on Jan 10, 2014
I am a practicing Buddhist myself. Not too long ago, I posted on Facebook about how the Refuge name I'd been giving by my lama was Lhamo, and that it would be amusing if I ever did the full 3 year retreat because I would be Lama Lhamo. Facebook "helpfully" offered to translate all of these things using Bing. Hilarity ensued.#10: Heather M (AuntieH) on Jan 11, 2014
Me: Ya know... The refuge name Lama Surya gave me was Urgyen Lhamo. If I ever became a Lama, I would be Lama Lhamo. That would be... confusing....
Friend: lama llama?
Me: LOLOLOLOL: do lama called?(Translated by Bing)
Friend: la llama llama al lama?
Me: the flame flame the Lama?(Translated by Bing)
Friend: I ask in Spanish, "The llama is calling the Lama?"
Bing translation reads, "the flame flame the Lama"
Alisa - that would be very confusing! :)#11: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 14, 2014
I like them both.#12: Alan Lafond (Cural) on Mar 17, 2020 [SPOILER]

And a three-L lllama is one heck of a big fire! Okay, it's funnier spoken.#14: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Feb 17, 2021

I would bet a silk pajama you've never seen a 3-L llama.#16: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jul 18, 2022 [SPOILER]

When I was growing up, we got TV from Buffalo channels as well as our local Toronto. The Buffalo news almost always seemed to have an item about a fire in the North Tonawanda suburb of Buffalo. The normal response to the final line of the Ogden Nash poem "But I'll bet a silk pyjama, you've never seen a 3-l lama." was "unless you live in North Tonawanda".
