My boer doe Angelina who joined a friend's herd last February had twin babies today! A doe and a little buck- I am thrilled because the baby girl will come live in my herd in spring next year. :) I am looking for names and no- Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon will SO not work. ;-) I wanted to name the girl after the friend where they are now but Oliver protests loudly that I name a goat Olivia or Olive Oil. Another friend suggested Sunday Roast, in homage to Nicole Kidman's baby girl. Ahem. I would like to keep the A name tradition going as I have Angelina's first baby girl in my own herd and her name is Anne. Ideas for the baby girl? My friend will keep the buck and name him but I get to choose for the girl!

Well, technically a meat goat only we won't eat her. She's just a cuddly floppy ear goat to pet and feed.

Nadine- The fact that you said you had the goat named Anne is what made me think of using the older Victorian names!

congrats!!! I have nigerian goats and had 2 sets of twins and single this year. I kept one little girl and her name is angel. Make sure you play with her often to get her people friendly. I had to bottle feed Angel cause her mom would not feed her so I think I have one that may just be way to friendly... She likes to be rocked in a rocking chair.!! Do you think she is spoiled?!! hehehehe Bev |

She was born in "August" right? How 'bout THAT? (or Augustus-- I Know it can be a BOYS name too) I have a ewe named Audrey and a little lamb named Annie. Have you checked the Baby name books? There are LOTS of "A" names in those! ~~~ Tracy
PS- Congrats on the babies!!!
