suggestions for names?

Our herd queen Florida just delivered three healthy, beautiful kids on Friday, so we're thrilled! But we're at a loss for names. Two girls and a boy, colors as shown...any ideas? Our does Florida and Weezie are named for characters on old TV sitcoms, but we're not wedded to that concept.

I welcome any creative ideas. because I'm really idea-less.

Her name is Florida? Then consider: Virginia, Georgia, and Dakota (for the boy)

OK, I like all of the suggestions, but this is probably my favorite. Especially because the boy might very well grow up to be quite shaggy.

I'm scribbling down all of these ideas and will run them by DH tonight. Gotta be decided by committee, you know.

Thanks!

Oh, Ruth, don't be . I just e-mailed a list of everyone's suggestions to DH; we'll see what he thinks. Maybe we should ask Florida too. We couldn't do worse that we did last time around, when Florida's triplet boys ended up named Green, Blue and Purple after their collar colors because we just couldn't think of anything.

Thanks, vtfarma! We think so too, but it's possible we are slightly biased.

What about "Rhoda, Mary Tyler Moore, and Lou" ? ;-)

Or, he could be "Ted"

I have too many goats so I have started naming all the girls with the same first letter at the mother--Florida --> F names. The boys usually get named something like F-boy... That at least would limit your options down.

Of course my doe named Z has had the most doelings!!! Zanna, Zoey, Ziggy, Zipper, Z-boy.

Scribble, scribble, scribble. I love the name "Zipper" for a goat for some reason.

Hey, Ruth, DH liked your idea the best!
