I hadn't even begun to think of names yet! Lol
But I do like primrose.
Dahlia is the name of one of our alpines so I do like that one.
The Hercules Club has other names it is normally called but I can't remember them right now. I think it is an oak?

From Wikipedia

Aralia spinosa, commonly known as Devil's Walkingstick, is a woody species of plants in the genus Aralia, family Araliaceae, native to eastern North America. The various names refer to the viciously sharp, spiny stems, petioles, and even leaf midribs. It has also been known as Angelica-tree.[1]

This species is sometimes called Hercules' Club, Prickly Ash, or Prickly Elder, common names it shares with the unrelated Zanthoxylum clava-herculis. For this reason, Aralia spinosa is sometimes confused with that species and mistakenly called the Toothache Tree,[2] but it does not have the medicinal properties of Zanthoxylum clava-herculis.

Aralia spinosa is occasionally cultivated for its exotic, tropical appearance, having large lacy compound leaves. It is closely related to the Asian species Aralia elata, a more commonly cultivated species with which it is easily confused.

Just in case you wanted to know. Guess it's not a scottish tree. Thistle however is very common in Scotland, so if you wanted to play with the Scottish names for Thistle's babies you could use that link!

It is a north American tree. That I knew. But that doesn't mean it can't grow in other countries.
The theme isn't narrowed to countries nor even common names or scientific. Just that it is trees and flowers. Gives me a wide range to choose from.

I figured it wasn't limited to countries or themese really. I just had fun looking up tree and flowers in Scotland once I figured out thistle was a prominent flower in Scotland. Keeping the Scotland theme with the twins would be cute. I just like being able to look up name ideas for people.

It is a lot of fun.
I have two books I use and of course the Internet. I like the books better because of the pictures. Lol
Also easier for the kids to find a flower they think is pretty.

So I think we are going with Aspen for the little buckling and Primrose for the Doeling. Still have to pass it by the hubby.

Ixia and Honeysuckle are still holding out! They can't be that far behind Thistle.
They are getting really hollow in the rear but it seems like their babies can't settle down. lol One hour they look like they dropped and the next they don't. Udders are full but no boom. Nice wide loads they are carrying. Probably twins for both.

Come on girls! Pop those babies out!
Right now would be nice...

And the twins favorite spot is under the bottom step of the goat steps we built. They only have a couple of inches under there!
