I thought we could all start a thread with our favorite "baby" names and/or themes. (if this needs to be in a different section feel free to move it) Here's my favorites that I want to use. Myth Fable Fairy (Tale, might be added) Prince Chaos I'll add more as I think of 'em. :greengrin:
I thought about using Knight Rider this coming year to bad we are trying not retaining anything this year. I wish I had thought of it for Phoenix the buck we kept back this year.
i follow dam lines so for surfbird i use beach names for bucks and bird names for does aurora is named after princess aurora in sleeping beauty.. so flora fauna merriweather briar rose.. ect are does bucks are prince philip, sampson, hubert. ect amelia is named after amelia earhart.( amelia is my BF's child.. he loves airplanes) so they are usually after airplanes.. for instance we have vega, piper and blackhawk this year
i think the one i have had the most fun with is my music theme. I got a doe named harmony many years back, from there i have had tango trill rhythm melody lyric lyrical melody and aria. I have a C gemstone line, calomel chromite cinnamonstone and cyprine. A T gemstone line. All we have so far is tillyite, tilly for short. i have just a whatever sounds good line, dixie and skittles. So far Ruby has only had four kids. her first kids were crimson and scarlet. This years were wyatt, because his tattoo was Y8, and Sizzle'n hot, theire dads name was fire. beth
my favorite names..... Adidas - buck Adonis Alaska --- 2009 kid Aerosmith Amaretto Ambrose Arctic Argento Aurora Chevelle Chickaloon Chinook Abel Chugiak Black Zephyr - maybe one of zephyr's kids. Blue Skies Corona - the shiny part around the sun (not the drink lol) D'Artagnan -- three musketeers Fandango Git- r-done Griffin Hera Kahuna Karma Katareena -- maybe..might be weird naming a goat this King Salmon -- used to live there (aleutian chain) Kokomo Kryptonite Millennia Mirage Moose Musk Ox -- for a stout goat? Hard headed for sure. Myst Mystique Nautilus Nike Onyx Orion Polaris Rock this Town Sequoia Shadow Fax Sirius SledgeHammer --- the song Solaris Storm Front Stratus Thor’s Storm Thunderhead Touch of Class Twist n Shout Valkyrie Voodoo --calypso's kid Winning Colors Zane Zeppelin Zeus Zodiac
I go by the year letter. This year was a D year so I had: BUCKS Da Vinci Domino and Diablo (twins) Double Trouble and Dynamo (twins) Darcy Darwin DOES Daiquiri Daffy Dancer Duskany Dixie I did break with tradition a little though, I named one doe Rexie after her mum (Anorexic), one buck Fruit Loop after his mum Loopy Lulu, and Vanity's kids were Pilgrim (born on thanksgiving) and Pride (because of her name). Since Pilgrim died, I think I will register Pride as Pilgrim's Pride. I dont do themes very often but the doe kid by Curleyboy out of Goldilocks is Curleylocks. Goldilocks' mum is Goldenlocks. Calypso's kids I really wanted to do a nautical theme, because in Pirates of the Carribean Calypso is the sea goddess, but alas! no babies from her! Matilda's doe kid I was planning on naming Tilly. Next year is an E year - that is going to be challenging.
OMG! keren. I have a doeling calypso, and i'm naming her kids nautical / marine themes!!!! (she was named after the movie) and her dam is named Bikini Marina (also nautical)
funny little world, isnt it I named my Calypso before I saw the movies, so I didnt know what it meant until then. But when I heard it, I thought it was very cool!
well my farm name is Heavenly Haven my herd name is Angelic i WAS going to have my tattoo as HAHA (lol) but decided to just have it as HA but when i was going to do the HAHA thing i wanted all my goats to have "A" names Abner, Angel, Asha Clover, Ann, Andy, Aubry, Amber but I think I'm bored with that already dunno....... here are some "a" ideas tho Abraxas Boy Greek A mystical word Acacia Girl Greek Point; spine; thorn Aciano Boy Spanish Blue bottle flower Adelwolf Boy English Noble wolf Alastar Boy Greek Defending men Amadeus Boy Latin Love of God Amari Both American English N/A Amira Girl Arabic Princess; prosperous Annalise Girl Hebrew Grace; favour Aragorn Boy Literary N/A Aria Girl Hebrew Lion Ariana Girl Greek Very holy one Atreo Boy Greek A king Atticus Boy Latin From Attica Augustus Boy Latin Venerated Aurora Girl Latin Dawn Ava Girl Germanic N/A Avani Girl Sanskrit Earth Azai Boy Aramaic Strength Ps) good website http://goatconnection.com/babynames/
I tried doing naming themes, like dams with 'G' names had 'G' named babies, etc but I got bored after a while. This year I'm doing a Russian theme with names that I've gotten from Russian novels: Nastasya Natalya Katya Sonia Marfa Agayfa Lise And I had a bunch of other ones but I've forgotten them already :roll: Then again, when it all comes down to it, none of those names ever fit so I usually just end up naming them with the first name that comes to mind after they are born
I haven't had baby goats yet so I haven't gotten to give names. But, I've had a bunch of llama crias and have chosen to name them with the same letter as their dam so I know who their momma is: For example my momma llama Kieran has 2 crias - Kiana and Kiata My momma llama Shavano has 2 crias - Shakona and Shanta And Minky has Maia I'm trying to figure out what to do when these crias have crias?
I'm probably going to go with mostly flower names this year. My does names are "Truly Scrumptious", Kadisha, Kalla Lily, Show Stopper, Ella and Emily(who are half LaMancha/half Saanen). and my buck Catamaran. I'll go with E names for Ella and Emily's kids. I haven't officially figured out my kids' names for this year. Although Show Stopper(Topper) will stay dry for this year.
Last year I did the name of the bays of the lake that we live on. This coming year (2009) I am doing Hot Rod car names. I know that we had a thread going a couple months back somewhat on the same lines as this - I believe that I started it - might want to check there - Might give you some ideas!!! :wink:
I like Joy,Bella,Hannah,Keisha,Rose,Missy,Rowdy,Wrangler,Bubba,Duke,King,Prince,Pride,Banner.... will have to think of others Need to think of a herd name though :wink:
we are naming everything off of Trax-something with TRAX in their name-Like WOB Fatal AtTRAXion-The same with wildman-we are using "WILD"----- or something from his sire DER War Paint.
oo Keren I could think of some E names :greengrin: like... Esau, Ethan, Etna, Edna, Ella, Eddy etc. =]
We usually name them with the same letter or theme they're dam has. This year Libby had Lexi and Lark and Bella had Brooklyn(aka Brook). Lark's registered name is Meadow Lark, so her kids will have a bird theme. Brook's kids will have a city theme...like Paris, London, ect. We also like to put something in their registered names for the sire...we put CS before the names of the kids this year...which is for Casanova.
I'm not really looking for ideas I was just curious as to what you guys like to name your babies. :wink: Here's a couple more for me. Legend would be great for one out of Lyrae. These two might go to Lyric's baby(ies). Rhapsody Symphony
