Our Queen doe is frannie--kinda a take off of Nanny.
Then we had Storm, Autumn and Winter
This year, we had Bambi and Snow.
Kinda looks like a weather theme going. My son told me that this year, if we got a buck, it's name would be Bob. Now he named his 4-H pig "bob." Don't know what the thing is with Bob, but that's what he wants to name everything.

We named all our girls so that the name ends in "ie" or "y" depending on the spelling:
Abbie Leigh
Sadie Mae
Nellie Belle
Maddie Jo
Hildie Anne
Jennie Lynn
We do have one named "Miss Emma". She's considered special since she was bottle feed by my DH.
Our buck is just named Abe because of his long beard (my DH said he reminded him of Abe Lincoln) and his wether son is Peg-Leg. He was born with a bum leg and we thought it was going to stay that way, but it straightened out by the time he was 3 months old. He seems to know his name so we never changed it.

We have sisters Cocoa & Sandy (cocoa colored and sandy colored - came to us already named), wether brothers Buddy & Buster, doe Bindy (came to us already named), and sisters Molly & Mable. We also have Clyde who was part of the Donny & Clyde team before we lost Donny to urinary calculi. We got Clyde a new doe pal named Opal, but lost her to deer worm. Clyde's current best friend is a calf - Connie the Cow.
We like old timey names, and have considered Hank, Zeke, Zeb, Vera, Vertie, Gertie, Wanda, and Pearl among others. We found a web page a while back with popular names from the late 1800's and they all sounded like really good goat names to us.

Bubble gum...her baby was Juicy Fruit

With the animals that we name ourselves, most of our boers came with names already, we go ahead and either use the coat or personality to name it, or we let the 2 year old name them. Lets see we have Duke(yellow lab) and Daisy(black lab), Queenie, Yohaan, CeeCee, Mitzi, Lisa, Patches(all boer goats that already had names), Princess & Paco( bother percentage boers that already had names we just do not call them by their "real" names), Gabby & Cozmo (both boers that we named ourselves), Gus, Clara, Toria, Lola, Peach, Cream, Tina, Ivy, Twilight, & Lucky (all mutts that we named).

My does are Clarice and Blanche. The bucks are Spike and Zorro.
My horses are (mares) Star, Diamond and Ghost. The Gelding is Sarge in Charge and the Stallion is Shadow. We have a little theme going with the horses..Star is Diamonds Dam and Ghost is Shadows Dam. Sarge was purchased and immediately took charge...hence Sarge in Charge.
We also have poulty...2 ducks, Rufus and Dufus. An Aracuna rooster named Arkie along with the typical chicken names, ------, big red, little red, scraggles, blackie, buffy, etc...
Our dogs are WhiteFang and Sugar. Our cats are Miss Kitty, Bubba, Sebastian, Buttons and Stinky.

Oh yeah, the fish is Prince.

Two of our three goats came with names - Jack and Jill ( saanan buck and doe) so we thought we'd continue the nursery rhyme theme in that line. We decided to call our big nubian doe Cinnamon because of her coloring and we are going to pursue spice names for her progeny.
We had other ideas, though. I thought of using the national weather service list for naming storms as a source every year, and also to choose names for each season's babies that would all begin with the same letter, starting with A and going through the alphabet. That will keep me in names for a while, I think.
I also like to browse the phone book for ideas.

Mine are a combo of tv shows names, and incident names and just plain fun names.
D'Argo - Our Kiko buck
Chianna - His doeling
Snowflake - she had her name when she came to us
Oleanna - My poor abused bottom of the ladder doe...I sing "Oleanna" to her all the time. (even her kids get more repect that she does)
Ginger - named after one of my candles since I missed a special conference because of their birth - Oleanna's daughter
Kuzko - Oleanna's son...'cause he had the sweetest little llama face when he was born.
Jenny - she had her name when she came to us
Jezebel - she had her name when she came to us, but it fits soooo perfectly! She is the meanest alpha ever!
Willy Goat - Jezebel's son - named for the willy wonka premere that night
Snorkie (aka Snore) - Jezebel's Daughter - named after a dog I named when I was like 3....she was my birthday present!

With my two Saanen does, I went with "white" names - Persephone and Luna. Persephone's progeny will have winter names, and Luna's babies will have moon names. However, they both respond best to a loud, high-pitched "GOOOOTS!!"
Now, my Chessie is named Emma, but that has somehow morphed itself into Emma Lou, Loopy Lou, Moosh Mouth, Doopa Doo, Booba Lou, Crack Head, and/or Dumb Ass, all depending on the context of the situation.

I have only had one goat and her name was "Baby". Unfortunately she died unexpectantly. But I plan to get some more nannies and their names will be "Sugar Babe" and "Honey Bunch". My sister has a billy named :"Billy Bob" . Guess her next billy will be named "Thornton" LOL
