What are your goats' names and why?

[suzeqf]

We are getting 2 dwarf nigerian does in May and we've already picked out names

Beretta will be my daughthers goat she loves to target shoot
Tigger will be mine and I love the thought of having a bouncy little goat around so Tigger was a given

We always name in TV/Movie themes.

First set of goats was westerns, so we had Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid, Etta, and Duke

Next was Greek Gods, so we had Zeus (our Buck), Poseidon, Athena, Aries, Metis, Themis, and a bunch I can't remember off the top of my head (a lot of babies that year...)

Next was My Little Pony, Old School. Firefly, speedy, nibbles, dibbles, Masquerade

Last year was Firefly. So Capt Mal, Zoey, River, Simon, Kaylee (which somehow morphed into Haley), and Inara

Ginger came with her name.

And our two newest were named in a facebook contest. Amelia and Melody from Dr. Who.

This year is going to be "The West Wing".

3 Nigerian Dwarfs that my 5 yr old son named

Sally - a character from his favorite movie cars
Caramel - she is the same color as the dessert topping
Digger - favorite monster truck "grave digger" so i shortened it

They have different registered names though. Sally is Beautiful Melody and Caramel is Perfect Harmony (they are sisters, names chosen by breeder) so we named the buck Ode to Joy, to keep with the music theme and his dams name is Almond Joy

My five year old is our register of deeds: two of our goats came named. The other are named after Barbie princesses... Our next doe kid will be named queen Esther.

We are going through the alphabet with ours. The first was Abigail, next is Beauregard then Cindy Lou. We are currently waiting on Cindy to kid and they will get D names.

I have two 3 week old alpine kids. Their names are Billie and Oliver. Billie is a doe and Oliver will be a wether. Well, Billie's name is just funny and I love the name Oliver.

This year's babies:

Mama's kids:

Troy Boy - named after a neighbor who is kind of wild and goat like.
Raina Rhiannon - she is very regal and queen like like her mama. The names mean queen and goddess of fertility.
Sweet Pea - a runt who got sick. She is sweet and delicate. A real sweet little pea.

Brownie's kids:

Bisquit
Gravy

Just cause they are both warm, soft and inviting...

Jelly Beans Kids:

Coffee - coffee colored
Oreo - he's black with a white stripe in the middle.

GREAT names everywhere!

I have the hardest time coming up with names for my animals... but ask me to suggest names for someone else's and it's game on!

This years newbies are -

Pygmies

Angus (Buck) - I'm Scottish, so needed a good strong Scottish name in my herd

Cuthbert (Buck) - He just looked like a Cuthbert to me

Prudence (Doe) - She's just kind of prudish and snippity... (Pru for short)

Calpurnia (Doe) - The tattle tale of the herd... always yelling "MMMMmmmmaaaaaa" when someone is acting up, so she needed a tattle tale sorta name

Elspeth (Doe) - Grown up daughter suggested it. (Ellie for short)

Boers

Augustus (Buck) - Always liked the name (Auggie for short)

Agnes (Doe) - Decided to name her Agnes in memory of a her breeders Mother who had passed away (Aggy for short)

Minwinta (Doe) - Named after a family owned race horse (Winnie for short)

We have a few other boer does coming in... no names running about in my head yet, but I'm sure I'll rack my brain for something!
