Ok I don't remember all of your goats' names.
I thought "Blackie" is not so creative because she's blackish...just MHO...

I’m with RA...I don’t feel like Blackie is very creative either. I nix names that I feel like are obvious around here.

I named at least one of his goats, Captain Crunch, after the cereal he gives them as a treat. LOL LOL

@Latestarter since I don't remember all your goats' names and how you named them, would you mind telling us how you come up with their names?
I know PB&J's name was because she likes peanut butter, right? And isn't there a 3-socks?

3 socks was a wether that got sold. No ears here to put a tag in or I'd probably be folloing your lead Mike 
Dot - Dippn' Dot, named by original owner
Bang - Shebang (may be more to it), named by original owner
April - named by original owner
CB - Creme' Brulee When young she looked like it color wise (Bangs kid)
CC - Capn' Crunch, she really liked the cereal (Dot's kid)
RJ - Royal Jewels, named by original owner PB papered herd sire
2 wethers unnamed, tried to sell, will market again this spring, if no luck, freezer (one from Dot, the other from CB <I think>)
Beauty - named by me because she was such a beautiful kid coloration/marking wise (from Bang)
Champ - Champagne named by me, again because of coloring/markings as a kid (from April)
DS - Double Stuff, like the oreo cookie, named by me because she's black front and rear with a white band around her middle. she's also "well rounded" (from April)
PB&J - named by me for her face striping that is the color of peanut butter, sandwiched between her other main coloring. (from CC)
Blackie - named by me because I was lazy and she really has no distinguishing markings/colors/etc. (from CB)
I don't use any naming formula... It's a "by feel" kinda thing. One of the wethers I called "big boy" because he was one. The other I mostly call dip$hit or dumb a$$ because he is one.
The new ones I haven't decided names for yet. The doelings (unnamed as yet) will almost assuredly be keepers, the silver (she is silver tipped) one is NO doubt, for sure staying. The little black doeling is about 1/2 the size of her sister. She is suckling and growing but she's so small... May let her go when she's of age. The buckling is gone regardless. (He is a very handsome gray)

I think if people insist on naming @Latestarter's goat kids, they should send some money for maintenance of "their" animals
