Roll farms said:
My Boers have a "Colts" theme (apparently I need to trade Peyton to someone in Colorado, though...) and with the Nubians and Obs I do the 'dairy goat thing' and go w/ the mom's 1st letter / dad's theme.

So our 1st keeper boer doeling this year will be "Lucky" and our dairy names I'll actually have to think about.
I don't have a good one to trade but I'll take Peyton any time!!!!!

Don't have creative names for my two kids...Jac (after my best friend) and Walter (a goofy name I like (sorry to all Walters out there...) If I ever get does, I like Annabelle, Lucy, Stella.... Our next wethers may be Cody and Sam. :)

So far I didn't get to pick many of the goat names, they came with them. But I have modified some of their names.

These 2 girls came to me with their names and I liked them: Stella and Luna

Came with the registered name of Edelweiss: we call her Edel

Came with the name Arabella: we call her Bell

I got to name the two little ones and I named them: Jesse and Jazz

The bucks came with their names and we kept them: Gunner and Rockey

The kids we sold this year I let the kids name and they were: Baxter, Sanchez, Freckles and Blue Eyes

WE have Boer Goats, When we started I told the family they are livestock, we have had as many as 32 goats at one time and they all left the farm with a name. right now we have,
MAMA
Suzy
Bella
Shirley
Laverne
Maggie
Otis
Lucille Ball
Pitiful

They are all Boers and are still livestock, and now if i can convince my wife of that.

My first goat I named ~Daunte~ he is an Alpine goat. I stuck with the Italian names for my other 2 which are ~ Albie~ my pygmy/nigerian dwarf & ~Ricardo~ who is full nigerian dwarf.

My NG/Fainter buck is Peanut, because his momma is Nutmeg and he was just a little nut when I got him.

My rescue Pygmy buck is Buttons. His name was Benjamin Burford Buttons when I got him and that is too long.

My Fainter doe is Sassy. The breeder was calling her that and it fits so we kept it.

We have B names it seems. I didn't realize the trend till after we had renamed our doe from what the previous owner called her.
BlackJack is our first goat. He is a pygerian (pygmy/ND) wether. The kids named him.
Bob is BlackJack's twin brother. He went to my DHs uncle when we got the pair of them origianally to be a companion/pet for him while he dealt with cancer. They named him Bob (said like the sound of a sheep, I didn't care to correct them that goats say "maa", not "baa"!). After DHs uncle passed away we brought Bob back with us.
Bailey is our pygmy doe. He original owner had called her Sydney, but DH didn't like that name (he thought it was a boy name b/c he has a couple men he works with by that name) so we changed it. Bailey sounded similar to her original name and I liked the sound of it so it stuck.
I don't know if we will continue with the B names when we have more goats around or not.
