Babies of Punxsutawney Phil and groundhog wife Phyllis have been named

Punxsutawney Phil’s two new groundhog babies have been given names that are right on brand with Groundhog Day. The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle announced on Mother's Day that the baby girl and boy groundhogs will be called Sunny and Shadow. After the pups were born in March, members of the public submitted hundreds of name suggestions, according to TMX, which were reviewed by the club.

In a video announcement on Facebook, club vice president Dan McGinley shared the chosen names in true Groundhog Day fashion: by reading them off a scroll. 'Born to royalty, a boy and a girl, names have been chosen to share with the world,' he rhymed. 'Welcome with us as we say hello to little girl, Sunny and a boy, Shadow.

They’re not the heir apparent,' he said. 'Sunny and Shadow will not be part of the ceremony — it’s still Phil’s job. There’s still only one Punxsutawney Phil.' On Feb. 2, 2024, Phil made the rare prediction of an early spring after not seeing his shadow.
