Really NEED naming HELP!

I'm really having a tough time with this new baby I bought from Selah Ley farms & thought some of you might give me some good ideas.

My other new babies I've got all figured out and would like to send in my paperwork when I figure out what I'm going to call this one.

The 1st picture she is 2 days old & the 2nd picture she's 4 weeks old.
Yes, Alice in TX/MO I have 2 bottle babies now, only way this breeder sells her kids.
She's a 4th Generation mini nubian & a little sweetheart.

I know Alice, every time I look at her I try & figure out what it is that looks different, it's her ears.

I thought that too & already named my Daisey's kids with "D" names.
I have a "Daisey's Darlin" and "Dash Does It" already.

My other new doeling we bought from Flying J Farms is "Posie Patch" but her dam's name is Echo Hill's Wildflower. I am calling her Posie.

How about "Chip" because of that vanilla chip on its head?

That first pic reminds me of Ladytron. No idea why.

And no idea what to name her, though.

She's very pretty. I hope you find a name that suits her personality!

She looks eerily similar to a little buck we had years ago. His name was Billy Jack, but I don't think that quite does it for her

Her name doesn't need to start with a "D". I did name my Daisey's 2 kids with "D" names but that's because I just came up with them & they fit them, etc.
This little one I'm having trouble with!

Nehi, did I spell Posie wrong? It's on the paper work & already back now Darn it!

Love all the name suggestions everyone, please keep them coming!

There is no such thing as spelling things wrong with names.
