Just in case anyone needs some cuteness.

On the last pic it's left to right: #3 Prince Rillian, #1 Prince Caspian, #2 Prince ??.

Love me some babies.

If you are sticking with the Narnia theme there is Prince Rabadash, Prince Cor, and Prince Corin. You could go with fairy tales and have prince Charming.

Ah, yes. Rabadash. That might work. We discussed Cor/Corin (we have Aravis) but decided to save those. We will also reuse any for wethers since they will probably get changed and we might eventually run out. Our last pair were Pepiceep and reepicheep. I liked Tumness for #3, but the kids wanted princes.

How about Tirian? He's the king from The Last Battle and a descendant of Caspian X.

Congrats on the kids!

Looks like they have momma's flash!

Last kidding season, we named a set of boy/girl ND twins Lucy and Tumnus. They were my favorite names out of the 12 kids we had last year. We're still trying to decide if we want to do a theme this year. Last year's theme was 'whatever sounds good to us and whatever nieces and other visiting little folks want to name a baby.'

DH wants to start with the letter "A" and go to the next letter of the alphabet each following year. I guess that makes an easy way to keep track of who was born when, but I'm all about naming animals based on their personalities and I'm not sure if I can handle being that restricted...

Themes are a lot of fun. We've done sports cars, country singers, favorite movie characters, Lord of the Rings, guns, and more. We did names starting with the first letter of the mother's name a few years, but that gets annoying because then you tend to have a bunch of animals running around with the same 1st initial. Our theme last year was the periodic table and we are continuing with it this year (and probably next year and the next). We are going in order. It's great because you know immediately what the baby's name is.....no brain power necessary. We generally end up nicknaming them though. One of the most recent lamb's nickname is "Flower" because my sister had a brain fart and thought her name was "Geranium" instead of GerManium".

We decided to name all our Nigerians after Narnia characters or things. Of coarse Orchid will always be Orchid and our bred yearling is Dancing Queen, but we just call her Queen and that fits well.

Ruby's kids are gems/stones (peridot and onyx). Trixie Pops kids all have "pop" somewhere (Pop gun and Popsickle). Nims baby we named Nim's Secret since it was our first- and only so far- doe and Nim barely looked pregnant.

A few more since we have a month until our next babies.

Caspian's ears are so stinkin cute!

Orchid is a great mommy. This morning I peeked into her stall and she was sleeping with all three of her boys in a line cuddled up against her tummy sleeping. She gives the
Dog (who loves and protects baby goats) and the cat (who, other than playfully batting at wiggly baby tails is nice too) the evil goat eye if they even look at her babies. But, she likes it when my kids "babysit."
