Farmgirl got me thinking about having a thread for all our goats' names. I don't know about y'all, but when I hear a name I think I would like for a goat, I write it down, so I have some ideas come kidding season again. (My daughter child named her dwarf rabbit by choosing a name from the list. lol.) My goats' names are: Keisha, Molly, Jackie, Millie, Deacon, and Malachi. I've had goats in the past named: Daisy, Callie Jean, Rose, Rusty, Penny, Cherry, Freddy, Wilma, Rhoda, Rheba, Ruthie (I'm sure there were more. lol) What do y'all call your goaties?
Our first goat was "Baby Girl" and it fit, a Nubian sweetheart. Harker: Nubian already named/ Splash: Nubian " Pumkin: Nubian mixed already named/ Nubians we've named: Penelope; Penny; Nellie Our Togs: (going for Swish names) Hiedi Hildy Nubian Buck: Tozer for my favorite author B-1 (had two other bucks bred along with Tozer named them Burger-1 and Burger-2 since we where going to eat them, B-1 excaped that fate. "Remember you are unique, just like everyone else"

I'm Stuck, because that was what he was, stuck. I had to pull the little critter out, aka Casey, named after my friends son who's about the biggest pain in the butt breating. Twister, born with a twisted tail April, born on April fool's day And lets not forget little Earthday's Algore, no explaination needed. We've also got Shady Lane's Eddie Haskel.

My first doe's name is Pippy for Pipsqueak. She was a premature doe who was bottle fed by her previous owner and taken to work with the lady. Her doe kid was Sandy named after our first goat on our first farm. The doe kid this year is Friday because she was born on that day of the week. The buck's name is Fabio. He comes from real good old milk lines. They are all American Alpines.

I have 3 goats right now! My Boer Doe is named "Bailey Girl" I named her this because she was my 1st goat and I ahve been grateful to my "Foster Family" that took me in and turned my life around thier last name was Bailey so I named her after them. I also have Pygmy Twin Does. They are REALLY twins I can't hardly tell them apart. Now they are getting alittle older one of them has longer horns, because they are growing faster. I named them "Salty & Pepper" They are solid Black with little bits of white on thier ears snot and one has alittle bit on the back side of her tail so she is "Salty" and the other with solid black tail is "Pepper"
He is the son of the Chianti SR. in Mt. Vernon.He is named after his father and looks like him, very proud Fella
Let me see , Dairy doe's are Dot, mysty ,Frosty, Molly, Pixy and plum these doe's are alpines . 1 Alpine buck billy 1 Boer buck Rolo 2 1/2 Boer does patches and betty 2 unnamed brush doe's and 3 werthers also unnamed lol .
I don't have one yet, but I think I will name it "Fudge" when I get one. I always liked "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and the goat will be brown, so it will fit!
We started out with Issabella (bella) and Josephina (Jo) We still have Jo and her baby Layla. Added to the herd this year, Clydine, Easter Lily, and Tia. Buck named Elvis and whether named Paco(could change to Taco if need be)
