We're waiting on our Poppy to pop, but she became Poppy while living in our bathroom and me taking her out to piddle, etc, and we kept commenting how she thought she was a puppy, but she wasn't quite... So, she was a Poppy!

A friend of mine used to have 2 beef bulls named "steak" and "big sexy."

Another friend of mine has 2 pigs, "chorizo" and "andouille"

About half of the bucklings get food names, because we know most of them are table fare. We've had a Taco and a Cabrito to name a couple. We have a boer/nubian cross buck that barely escaped castration and the table that I dubbed Peanutless while his future was still being decided and it stuck. And recently we have a solid black with brown eyebrows boer/nubian doeling that made me think of the devil or a demon which made me think AC/DC, so we call her Accaadacca.

Our ducks are as follows: Pekin duck= Peggy Lee, Cayaga mix crested drake = Elvis, Swedish mix crested drake= Roy Orbison.
And then there is Bruce the african goose.
That's about the extend of our cute names.

Our NDs don't really have cute names, but they are thematic. All of our goats have authors' names (English majors here). We have Walt and Percy in the buck pen. Our ladies are Zora, Emily, Kate, Madelyn, Morgan, Alice, Willa, Maya and Harper.

Don't feel bad... when we get a new animal and someone asks if we're going to eat it (and it's for breeding purposes) I tell 'em nope, we're gonna eat their children :)

Hee hee! I do the same thing- in of course, the most happy cheerful voice possible. :happy:
Had a nephew's girlfriend (vegan) mention on facebook something about wanting to meet our critters if we don't eat them. I replied that I'd only introduce her to the ones that have names. ;) blinking innocently....
