Goat Names?

[HankTheTank]

My names seem pretty boring comparatively But, I have:

Hank, my wether. He was originally named Bocephus by my brother but Hank was easier to say and spell (if you don't get the connection in the names, it's because Hank Williams Jr., the country singer, is nicknamed Bocephus)
I wanted to name him Willie, after Willie Nelson because of the color of his fur, but I decided not to.

Elf. Her registered name is Weathertop Farms GG Nut, pronounced Newt, after the Egyptian goddess. I didn't like that though, so I called her Elf instead (not sure why) though the original suggestion of Liberty would have been more fitting. She's an escape artist!

Bonnie, she came with her name and it fits her

Our wethered nigerian dwarf is named cheddar. Next we have our Alpine whose front and back half's are black and the middle is white so of coarse we named her Oreo. We have a Sannen who came after Oreo so we named her Cookie (Oreo cookie lol). Then there is Cookies kid who is named Tuffy because he was the only survivor of triplets ( the vet named him cause she said he should be dead because one of his sisters died in the birth canal before him so she said he was a Tuff little cuss!!) and last to our little herd is C.C.

Sooo, our wether Chugiak, after the town they came from. We WANTED Moonshine since I THOUGHT he was moonspotted (just black and white but still pretty) but it didn't stick because an annoying family has a dog named Moonshine. Then Sass (or Sassy) short for Sassafrass, a name I got from a BYCer but my mom was mad I didn't come up with it myself, so it became Sass

I don't have a set system for naming goats and some will go nameless for awhile until I find the right name for them I have done the first letter thing and themes in the past

Right now I have

Lady- a lamanche grade who is the biggest lady goat I have ever seen, Last year she had twin does one was brown the other blonde so to annoy my daughter I named them Miley and Hannah lol.

Ms. Knight- a purebred solid black nubian was named that because she was black like a dark knight and it's just a tad differant from Midnight which is the most common name for black animals.

Hattie Mae- Alpine was named at birth by the breeder and I thought it was really cute so didn't change it

Lewis- Alpine buck I named him after a niece who's birthday he was born on that is her last name

Daisy- Alpine/togg my mother was there when I bought her and said she looks like a Daisy it stuck

Roma- Alpine I am not crazy about her name but she was over a year old and has it on her reg papers so I will leave it alone

Classy-Alpine was named when she was born by her breeder and I had the option to change it but she is so classy it suits her well

Annie- Alpine/Lamanche has taken a awhile to name I was going to call her Lou Lou but my daughter vetoed it this kid was born here and was dam raised until her dam died one day of poisoning so I was bottle feeding her and one day she stopped taking the bottle which stumped me until I saw Ms. Knight had adopted her and was allowing her to nurse so I named her Little Orphan Annie

I invite my friends over for a goat baby shower and one of the contests is to help me pick names. It is a really fun event for the two legged and four legged kids. This year I got a Poppy Seed and a Stralbury (which is how a 6yo southern girl spells strawberry) lol too cute.

Buttermilk are female Nigerian Dwarf and her brother is Biscuit .

My husband named our Pygmy baby (before I even saw her) Isabelle........but it has definitely shortened to Izzy - or Dizzy Izzy. Isabelle only comes out when she's in trouble - kinda like a real kid getting the full name treatment.

 

[Boysmom08]

I named my Nubian/Woods doe Autumn...she looks like a russet red color, I have a ?/woods mix and she got named PITA, because she is a Pain In The A**...and the baby Kiko we call Peaches, for her coloring and that is a pun on my DH, who doesn't like the fruit but loves her!
I am getting a Kiko/Boer cross Buckling soon and he is a tri color, I might name him Turtle, after the dessert...

This is PITA, what breed do you think she is?

When I had 40+ babies born, I used the dam's name, first letter, to name the kids. That way, over the years, I had my "M" dam group, my "B" dam group, etc., after awhile, I started looking up places in the world I couldn't travel to because I had goats! (Bimini, etc.)
I do my Paso Finos the same way. The mare's name will be the first letter of the foal's name. (Maullido had Montessa and Mirada.)
My Longhorns are somewhat opposite: Iron Ore is my main bull and his first heifer (keeper) calf is Irony.
