Goatie- my Dwarf nigerian - she was named by my teenage daughter

Butterscotch- my Dwarf nigerian wether- named by my 12 yo daughter because he is butterscotch colored

Butterscotch is what my 5 year old wants to name a new baby goat when we get one. So DH and I joked that we'll just name all the kids we are going to sell Butterscotch so we don't get attached to them. First boy I've heard named Butterscotch though.

alot are indian names, cowboy names, or old 60'70' music, like dream weaver,maggie mae. sometimes I try to keep part of the mom or dads name in it, just depends, I have names like wyatt earp, wild Bill, Clemetime, fun names for me, maybe I was born in the old days, teen-ager in the 70's oops,

Very interesting post.

Lets see I have

Nubian - Super Goat ( She jumped over DH trying ot get away one day and he caught her mid air and said SUPER GOAT. It stuck)
Nubian - SGS ( easy one there, Super goats sister)
Nubian/ mix doe - Tut. SGS's kid. The next letters in the alphabet were THT. So the name Tut came.
Nubian - Bailey - Born on St pattys day
Nubian - Ditto - Looked just like Bailey as a kid so got named Ditto

Lamacha Doe - Vango ( easy one there)

Boer doe - Mini me. Use to hang out with phillip the calf all the time. He is black and white so is she. Mini me
Boer Doeling - Cee CeeCame with the name Mary Jane. Did not want people thinking she was named after weed and did not
really like the name anyways. DH suggested Cocaine Katie as a smart butt remark so the name Cee Cee stuck
Boe Buck - Nonnie - Called him no name for so long, needed a real name.
Boer doe - Kreature - Was the ugliest goat I had ever seen when I bought her. Mineral deficient, curly hair, skin and bones. Now one
of my best looking does but the name stuck

Alpine Buck - Stinky - Well he stinks
Alpine doe - Kurt - Named after a friend of ours who sounds way too much like a goat
Alpine doe - Steiner - Named after same friend

Fainter - Elvis - Has some funky hair going on
Fainter doe - Presley - Elvis's girlfriend so it seemed like an appropiate name.

Attitude-named after his crabby sire, who escaped from a lease, lived by himself in the woods for 2 weeks, and as soon as he got back home he beat the crap out of the other 4 bucks, one of which was top buck before Sr. left. Jr. has all the attitude and cockiness of his sire, to the point where he prances everywhere and walks like a rooster. Pure Attitude.

Adeleine (Addy, Big Momma)-I just liked the name. Couldn't think of a better one.

Black Widow (Nat, Natasha)-I didn't pick her name, but I'm not complaining since it's a super easy naming theme.

Brandy, Kiko/Nubian Doe - is the color of brandy.

Dude, tri color Fainter Buck - He is THE Dude and he knows it.

Elsie, white and black Fainter Doe - Her name was Esther and we changed it because she looked like a cow to us so she became Elsie.

Eli, White and cream Fainter Buck- was named by original owners and they got him from Amish. He has a great long beard and looks like and old Amish man

Stephanie, brown and white Nubian Doe - came with the name....gets called Steph most of the time.

Dusty, silver gray mixed up little girl. She is ND/Alpine X Fainter/Angora. - We named her because when we got her she was real fuzzy and looked like a dust bunny.

Elijah E, White Fainter buckling out of Elsie and Eli. One of triplets - We name our kids with same first letter as Mom and first letter of Dad in name. So E for Elsie and because of the Amish connection Elijah just seemed right. The E is for Dad Eli.

Erin E, White Fainter doeling out of Elsie and Eli. One of triplets - See above.

Elizabeth E, White Fainter doeling out of Elsie and Eli. One of triplets - See above.

Dandy D, First born son of Dusty and Dude, silver gray carbon copy of his Mom.- Blue eyed and just a Dandy little guy.

Sherry D, First born daughter of Stephanie and Dude. Beautiful brown and white Nubian/Fainter girl - named after my sister whose birthday she was born on.

Sunny, Mini Nubian Doe. - came with the name, but it really fits her. She is the most bouncy, lovable little gal with a sunny disposition and her face is to die for.

Right now we have the real possibility of having 10 to 13 kids born in the next 5 months. I cannot wait to see what names we come up with for the new babys.

 

[verkagj]

Mine are:
Leah - was Leonara when I got her
Allie - was Alejandra when I got her
Pepper - already named when I got her. They all had "P" names.
O.B. - for Orphan Boy. The little buck we got in April. Owner said he was weaned too soon because Mama died.

DooDad - little buck that had kidney failure and had to be put down. He had "big ones"
WingNut - little buck that got stolen. Husband into airplane stuff.

Flora and Fauna (dairy crosses) - AKA - Pain in my hinie! We got them together and my 8 year-old named them after the fairy godmothers in Sleeping Beauty.
For the record - Fauna would "dance around" like a Faun of greek mythology.

Jimmy (Spotted Nubian wether) - Came named as Jimmy Buffet due to very minor "parrot mouth" issue. We were going to adopt a wether and name him "Merry" as is Merry Weather - of the
Sleeping Beauty film...but Jimmy was used to his name and we weren't that attached to that whole "theme."
Sophie (Nubian doe) - Came named as such. We also call her "baby goat" as she's much smaller/stunted than the others.
Lyla (Nubian doe) - Came named as such.

Right now all my goats are purchased goats so I didn't name them. But I do biblical names. I'm a Christian and there are some really cool names in the bible.
