Names

Last kidding season we did country music - Willie and Nelson; Billy, Ray, and Cyrus; Montgomery and Gentry; Patsy and Reba; etc. This year - since we were out of town - the daughter decided to to a "J" theme - Jackson, Josie, and Jacob; Jay and Julie; Jazzy, Jolene, and Jody; Jack and Jill. We've got one more doe due in the near future - that's good cause I'm running out of J's!

we have:
Penelope (Lope, for short)-she came with the name of Prima Donna and she had the temperament for it too. But now, she's alittle humbled down. heh.
Raindrop Splash (Rain) she has a raindrop of white on the top of her head.
Volcan- after Star Trek, the tv show. He has little brown 'eyebrows' that makes him look like them in the show. (we call him Bucky boy, sometimes.)

ones we had:
Gardinia (Gardi)-she came with that name, though she was called Valerie Gardinia
Mara-book & Rerun-Linus and Lucy's brother (Charlie Brown)
Donkey-he was adorable and that was immediately came to my mind
Cow Boy- His coloring looked like a cow.
Kearn-book, Illaria-book, Trenna-book, Bandit-looked like it, he had two black patches over his eyes.

Those are the ones that have come across our path! not sure what we'll name this coming year's kids. . most likely after more books, or it depends what they look like. .

Thanks,

the other 3 are still Blue, Red, and Green. We've tried other names but they just don't seem to stick.
We had a Gorgeous long haired black cat years ago and we called him "Blackie". I wasn't very happy about it but nothing else fit! LOL

mmurrey
hamburger & meatloaf( that are freezer destined).
We raised a calf last year and my son said we should have named him "Sir Loin". Now I am trying to think up a good a name for any calf I might get this year

Reicheru
PITA- abbreviation... Pain In The A... guess how she got that name. I call her Pete all the time.
"PITA- abbreviation... Pain In The A" That is Great - I will have to remember that one!

Windsong acres
that's good cause I'm running out of J's!
You can use my name - Jeanette!
There is also Jael, Jelly, Joreen, Jenner, etc.

My Nigerian buckling is named Prints and my doe is named Sarah Jane. My son and I used to watch a show called Bravestar. One of the characters in there was a horse who was a deputy named 30-30 and he called his rifle Sarah Jane.
This was a fun thread!

Always Learning!

I try to use old-fashioned sounding names for many of my goats:

Harley (my original buck, now deceased)....one of my grandpa's was named Harley.

Jodie,
Baby, (now deceased after having twins....her twins are:
Johnny and Maddie.

Stormie (because he was born during a thunderstorm, to Jodie and Harley.
Sally (her twin Hailey died).

I have a new pygymy doe who arrived with a cute female kid and no names the last week in May.

I named her "Daisy" and her sweet little girl "Josie."

Well Daisy was BRED back way too soon when I got her, but she had HEALTHY kids August 28th which I named Gus and Gracie!

keepers get names, eaters don't.
