Farm Name - need opinions
We are a Christian family, so I wanted to know what you thought about the potential name of our farm. I am thinking of calling it 6th Day Farm (Acres, Fields, etc.) because God created the beasts of the field on the 6th day. I know it's truly up to us as to what we call our farm, but a little help/critism never hurt. Let me know what you think.

There already is a Sixth Day Farm, so you might want to consider something else if you're planning on making it legal. I didn't check acres or fields, but you can do that with a simple google search.

I like the name, but you need to think about how many times over the next few years that you will have to explain it.:happy0035:

You might want to go with a favorite proverb or verse.
I went with Arbre Sage Farm because no one else in any of the registries had anything like it. Folks don't ask about the name, because it is easily assumed to just be a pretty name. Like a subdivision in the middle of the Arizona desert named "Rippling Lakes". No lakes anywhere in sight, but it is a pretty name for a housing project.
However, folks WILL ask about "6th Day" anything.....and how they feel about the answer can do you harm or good.
Other Christians will go "oh, how nice" if they actually ask because they honestly don't know....or they will feel that they are stupid that they DIDN'T get it without asking. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to start any visit, or new acquaintance (figuring an old acquaintance would already know the answer) with inadvertently making my guests feel stupid. That is a risk you might have to take.
On non-Christians asking about the meaning if they don't know....well, most non-Christians I have met are pretty virulent about NOT getting preached to.... and see just about ANYTHING as someone attempting to push religion down their throats. They may feel that you chose the name ONLY to get people to ask that question and to therefore open up the opportunity to preach at them when they didn't come to get preached to, they came for goats. (Or chickens, or grass, or whatever else) It could start business or commercial dealings out on a bad foot.
I don't think naming your farm/ranch/herd after something Biblical is a bad idea....I think you might have better luck making it less obscure, though. What about "Jesus is Lord Farms"?

This, of course, proves two things:
1. It is kidding season.
2. Sleep deprivation makes one silly.

Too funny!!!!
We changed the name of our farm and I chose something semi-Biblical and I explained on our website the meaning and why I chose it. That clears up any one asking.
When you find a name you might like, see if the name is already taken with a domain name registry finder. That way you can see if your choice of names is taken. When you do find one you like, register it quick so you have full dibs on it. I was blessed that mine wasn't taken.

Gosh - I love your mind - the teats one (I love it) I think might make folks want to stop out of curiosity although the Saanen one fits too because that is what we have.
