Poco or Pequeño?

[The Sunset Gang]

This is my little boy banded gecko. Thanks so much Marcia! I didn't want to stress him out, so the pictures aren't that good. They are blurry because he runs too darn fast. He is a big boy at 2 grams. And..... I can't decide on a name. I have it down to Poco or Pequeño. So, if anyone wants to tell me which they like better. Thanks for looking!!

I like Poco...just because it's fun to say.

I like "Poco" or "Poquito". Both mean 'small' in Spanish, but "Poquito" (pronounced poh-KEE-toe) is a more endearing term for something that is sweet and small.

Well ..... after much thought, he ate last night. And when I was watching him eat, he just looked like a Poco kind of fella. So Poco it is. Thanks!

I thought poco meant slow...and pequeno meant small.... ??? gosh...it's been too long. lol.

I like pequeno. Cute little guy!

Poco means a little. I will ask my Spanish teacher tomorrow if it means slow, because if thats the case, he will have his named changed because he is anything but slow.

lol. I just thought it meant slow...but you're more than likely right. lol. It's been 5 years since I took spanish.

Poco= adj. little

Poquito= adj. very little, very small, cute

Poqueno= "Do you know a little? ... I know a little".

Marcia is right. Slow would be "lento" (adjective) or "despacio" (adverb), I'm fairly sure about it

I would have gone with Poquito, I think it's cute Poquitooo

Thanks Sandra! I just got home and my Spanish teacher confirmed what I already said. And Sandra, I think you should be 100% sure....haha.
