For my little herd of 9 it is a mixed bag.

Beau-Tye (buck), Queen Beatrice (Doe), and Princess Carlione (Doeling) came with thier names.

Rosie (doe) is named for my sister the WWII historian, as in Rosie the Riviter

Jassie, (doe) it goes with Rosie.

Apollo, (buck) because I like mythology and his dam is Eclipse, need the sun for an eclipse sooo

Al Capione,(weather) because I have many animals with liquer names, needed a rum runner to lead them

Thor (buckling) because he was jumping with in an hour of birth

OMG (doeling) looks like my horse Oreo, balck and white appie, so Oreo My Goat, now changed to Odette

I think that's all of them, for me it all depends on the goat what name they get.

I go with a name theme that sort of fits the dam and sire. Well, registered name, that is.

Pelican Acres TLP Yseult has the barn name of Suzie Q. It kind of stuck. I wanted her registered name to follow Arthurian legend, since her grandsire is Excalibur.

Happy Tailz Z Dulce de Leche is named with the Spanish food theme, since her mother is Queto Taco Bell, haha. I call her Dulce for short <3 and she is such a sweet goat.

:welcome

My animals usually name themselves, but sometimes they come with names that stick. In terms of the goats, this is how they got named:

Belle -- Short for Bellwether. She was the goat who went first. Also, she's pretty cute.

Heidi -- She's blonde and the name fits.

Annie -- Came with her name. Seems to fit her well.

Oreo -- Yep, brown on front and back and white in the middle.

Well, ours came with their names, and since this coming season will be our first kidding season, we haven't had any new arrivals to name yet, so I don't know if we'll do themes or what. Anyway, our Saanens are as follows:

Prima Donna - She came with that registered name, we usually just shorten it to Prima. She gets the full name when she's being naughty.

Zanadu - Her registered name. She answers to it, as well as 'Du. ;) We also call her "the 'Du" when speaking about her.

Brenna - Again, registered name. That's what we call her.

Under - That's my BF's sense of humor there; Under is Brenna's wether (Saanen/Boer cross) & is ultimately destined for freezer camp. So we call him "Under the Wether," which BF thinks is hilarious.

Mabel - Our friend's goat who boards with ours. She came with the registered name Burma, which our friend didn't like, so she changed it to Mabel.

I named my girls Isabelle and Camellia(they are both ND's ). I picked Isabelle because it was supposed to mean sable beauty (which is what I thought she was :lol: ) and I named Camellia after the flower :)
