How about "Created (or Creation) Caprine Acres" (although the sheep, chickens, and donkey are left out of that one)? DH would have a fit if I did "Golden Streets of Teats, although I think it's genius!!

I like "Creation Caprine Acres". That lets people know exactly where you are coming from without any ambiguity.

Are you sure you can't talk your DH into "Golden Streets of Teats"?

You could have, as a motto, "We shall have no udders before Him...."

FWIW, as a "non Church type Person" whenever I come across a website for a farm, breeder ect, I get kinda turned off if the website has an overly religion type theme. This goes also for the name of the farm. If you are into the farm as a hobby, go for the religious theme, if your are trying to make a profit, be a little more ambiguous with the name. Again this is just my opinion. You can create a name that shows your faith, without being overly pretentious, (such as Creation Acres) without alienating future customers.

I have 2 questions:

1. How do you find out if a name is already taken?

2. How do you register a name?

I like "Creation Acres". Also like "Kingdom Acres" or "Grace Acres"

"Acres" could certainly be replaced with "Farm", "Lane" etc.

Song of Saanen was almost it, but now we have LaMachas too. How about Udderly Joyful Lane or Joyful Noise Acres (this fits because our donkey brays often).

Love all this creativity flowing!

Our farm is Royal Valley Farms, more general, but if people ask, they get the story of 'Royal" meaning we are all children of a KING. And all of our kids names turned out to be meanings of royal things, pretty cool!

Good luck with your name, it's fun and frustrating to think of but it pays off in the end.

I always thought "Land of Milk and Honey" would be a good name. Our little farm got it's name because our friends and family got into the habit of calling us John and Jane Farmer. So we just went with it. That's all we're known as now days.

Oh, I like "Jouful Noise Acres" a lot! That's awesome. I was trying to think of something worship-oriented.

That has my voice... although I really liked Golden Streets of Teats, myself.

Joyful Noise Acres is being used already too. All you have to do is type it into google to see if someone is using it. It might not matter at all, but if someone has that name legally, they can make you change it. If that happens several years down the road, it could be quite a pain in the neck.
