Y’all I firstly want to say how I love this community. In my short 2 weeks I’m making such amazing connections with people I probably would’ve never crossed paths with.
I’ve been given the honor to name two baby goats (boys) that were born on a sit I’ll be going to. Names are so hard for me lol I didn’t name my daughter until the very end. Name suggestions?
Very cool @Victory! Such an honor. Here are some suggestions, worthy every penny you paid for them
Buttinski and Hammerhead (due to goats’ tendency to head but each other)
Vincent van Goat and Goya the Goat, Norman and Rockwell, Pablo and Picasso, Jackson and Pollock, Salvador and Dali, Banksy and Spray Paint, Leonardo and di Vinci
Goatee, Dumbledore or Gandalf if they’re likely to have stately chin-hair
Gino and Geoff, or some other male G names
Karma and Mojo
Something regional to where they live. I once sat with 2 chihuahuas in San Diego named Sancho and Diego.
Thor and Loki, Beavis and Butthead, Smoky and Bandit, Butch and Sundance or other tv / movie tie in’s
Mocha and Latte, Cookies and Cream, Beef and Wellington, Taco and Chili, Jalapeno and Juice or other food-related names
Poncho and Lefty, Waylon and Willie, Brooks and Dunn, Country and Western
Peace and Love
I hope this list sparks some creative ideas for you!

Goat fact …
Goats were among the first animals tamed and herded by humans nearly 9,000 years ago.
I think I would have to say Milo because we have looked after various animals with this name but never heard of a goat with this name! The other name I like is Monty.
Great honor comes with great responsibility . The owner actually suggested I meet the kids before naming them got a bit of time. Will be traveling there in 3 days and I can hardly wait. I’m more excited than my daughter, I’ve always wanted to own a homestead/mini farm of my own one day.
I love the names @Angela_L will be taking a few to add to the list. Thank you for the fact. Learn something new everyday!
You’re correct my daughter is too young! We are just now saying a few basic words . She loves strawberries and bananas can eat it everyday if I let her.
Great suggestion, I’ll just write them down on sticky papers and let her pick up two random papers! Yay, I’m absolutely over the moon. We have goat god babies.
Hey @Samox24 truly is and I’m not taking it lightly lol. Funny thing she already has a Milo. We will be taking care of like 6-10 baby goats that have been born!
There you go ….Strawberry and Bananas sound like great names - especially if one of them is bananas … maybe not strawberry for a boy … Berry and Bananas?
I happen to like the name Bramble which is what I will call my dog if I get one of my own …
