Our (former) neighbor said she always wanted to name one of her mini- donks Vashti; not sure why she didn't. I think Vashti might have come from the movie "Giant" with Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson
I try to pick the 'homespun' or off-the-beaten-track type names for my girls. Vashti was very "special needs" in the end but could give her sisters what-for if they got out of line. Lots of spunk. Her caregiver, other than me, was Celeste, a BA who has a nurturing disposition.
