Goat Names?

[flylo]

A funny. A friend tried to register a goat "Coon A**" because she'd gotten the doeling from someone in Louisiana. ADGA switched it to "Raccoon Rear" because of the A** in the name.
If you're naming registered goats, always make sure you have a 2nd and 3rd choice or ADGA may rename it something pretty odd.
(Of course, I thought her first choice was pretty odd itself.)

This is a cool post topic. I'm enjoying reading everyone's ideas. I have only four goats now but have had more than that in the past. I love naming my goats. Right now I have Mocha, Freckles, Willa (mocha's 1st kid) and Thor. I didn't name Thor, he came with that name. Mocha's kids have been Willa (western woman), Maximus (from Gladiator movie), and last year's kid was Pistol (gun theme). Freckles is named aptly because she is white with black spots. Willa, she was explained I have done western/cowboy theme or named bucklings along the same line as their sires. Like last year I borrowed a buck named Spitfire and the bucklings I got that year were named Renegade, Hellrazor, and Pistol. I love everyone's ideas. Not sure what theme names I'm gonna go for this year. Might just wait and see what we get and then decide. I was kinda thinking maybe names from my favorite books...Jane Austen's Pride & Predjudice, Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abby, and so on. I would love to name a goat Darcy

My first goat's name is Moonpie and her sisters were Ratchett and Klank. I didn't name them. We kept the name Moonpie and we call Ratchett RC and Klank we called Cola.

Their first kids were Taffy, Chocolate, and C'more. The next year was fruit names and we had Kiwi and Mango. Last year's dairy doelings are named Misty and Cleo and the boers are Tequilla, Baily and Kaluha; (my boers are spotted or red). My older boer does are named Silver, Diamond, and Secret Spot.

My boer buck is Rolling Thunder (he is spotted and I call him Spot) and my Alpine buck is Zorro.

I have a new LaMancha named Annie.

Wethers don't get named; if I name them I want to keep them.

I am starting to get too many goats and I think that I need to start naming them in a way that I know who their mom is. Not so hard with with thier sire as it is either boer or alpine so easy, but keeping track of the begats on the dams side can be a challenge.

All of our does are named after Dr. Who companions. <-Geek

I don't have any goats (yet) but I was just thinking that it might be fun to name them after the characters from the book Hind's Feet on High Places. So: Much-Afraid, Suffering, Sorrow, Joy, Peace, Grace, Glory...etc.

Or, knowing my husband, we'd name ours after The Lord of the Rings characters or math concepts (hubby is a math nerd).
