I know that this question must have been asked before, but as some one who recently joined why Uglyhedgehog. I think that hedgehogs are kind of cute, especially the little ones.
From the last topic where this came up: nobody knows :)

Yea, why not, some here know everything. ;)
Boberic, I agree, baby Hogs are kind of cute. But there aren't to many little Hogs on here, so I think it's the bigger, older, uglier Hogs from which it gets it's name.
Boberic, no offense if you are under 60 !!

Wikipedia says:
The name hedgehog came into use around the year 1450, derived from the 1. Middle English heyghoge, from heyg, hegge ("hedge"), because it frequents hedgerows, and hoge, hogge ("hog"), from its piglike snout.
Photographers hide in hedgerows and the like, seeking camouflage from wildlife or trying to capture a candid shot of our own species, that big lens in front of our face resembling a snout. But, maybe WE aint so cute.
The originators of the forum must have a real 'funny bone' to have come up with the name. How in the heck did all of us get to or find this forum about photography with this name? As stated above nobody seems to know exactly, other than Admin, and I'm not sure even he/she knows. Have fun and enjoy the shared info, discussions, cussings', discourse, and photo's from people from around the globe. It might take a thick skin at times but I still have to have my daily fix of UHH. :D TNmike

Modesty doesn't become you. You always have good thoughtful answers. ;)
Hedgehogs are cute little things but how they relate to photography only the admin and maybe the shadow know.

Hey Doc ..... a picture's worth a thousand words .....

Now ye've done it!! Asked about thy given birthname of thee Ugly. Camera elves will soon show themselves in thy pics. Thy valleys will shutter...thy woods grow dark. Great waves will develop from thy seas...the animals exposed. Repent...Repent now...afore it be too late.
