Okay, for those who wanted to know.
Sherpa - when we went to see kitts for the first time, he would climb out of your arms and onto your shoulder. Distinct mountaineering tendencies, hence the name (for those who may not know, Sherpa Tensing climbed Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary). Sherpa has lived up to his name since, as he shows a great spirit of adventure.
Lemur - this little girl has a ring of white around her black tail. A Ring Tailed Lemur is a primate that lives in Madagascar. I have also discovered on google that the scientific name for this primate is Lemur catta. An accidental bonus!
Che - umm. No real reason, 'cept that Husband has a bit of a thing about the socialist revolutionary Che Guevara. We had named the other two and Husband heard me say the French word 'chez' in some context or other. The rest, as they say, is history (or, at least, linked to it!) Btw, before anyone starts about the respective pronunciations of 'Che' as opposed to 'chez', I know!
Well, you DID ask! ;)
