Please help me name my baby!

I know everyone here hates seeing pictures of babies, and hates offering name suggestions....
This little girl is my keeper out of triplets. Black headed, a few black spots at her feet, and the very tip of her tail. All other black spots are grease from under a truck.
Please help me name my baby! - Goats
I love 'cute' names. My last 2 keeper girls are Happy and Clover. Not against a boys name either so long as it is still cute and would 'work'

Thank you!
The blaze on her little face, which is almost an exact mirror of her mothers blaze, makes her look crooked. She is by far the most sociable of the 3, first to jump on you, nibble your fingers and clothes, and the only one that will come up to lay in your lap.

I usually wait and let them name themselves with their behavior. Your description reminds me of a little black doeling we had a few years ago. Hubby named her Inkspot b/c she was so little and everyone else was mostly white. We called her "Inky".

I think her name should be "Ziggy" for that zig-zag stripe down her nose.... reminds me of a "Drunkard's Path" quilt, but "drunkard" doesn't fit.

I like flower. I was thinking Tippy also. Hmmmm.... Naming babies is so hard. What's her parents name? Are you registering her?

First name that came to mind when I looked at your beautiful baby in that picture is Stryker(or Striker) because of the strip down her forehead & she's such a striking little girl.
I don't know maybe that sounds too much like a boy?

Poe or Po, for 2 reasons:

1. Like the panda in Kung Fu Panda - she's black and white so it works!

2. A cross between Phantom and Chloe

Or you could just call her Panda...
