Our education officer is writing a childrens story / educational resource featuring a Hedgehog which has adventures. However we need to name said Hedgehog so I wondered if you folks could help us come up with a good name ? (btw : we are not going to call him spike  )

How about a name from heraldry?
" Hedgehog - Also known in heraldry as the herisson and the ericus. The family of Heriz bore "Azure, three Hedgehogs or. The Maxwells bearthe Hedgehog for the lordship of Herris."
Erica or Maxwell or Harris Hog?
Just a thought! |
