Mocha just had twin girls this morning and I’m trying to think of names for them more, too!
Hi Sabrina! Those names are adorable! We got 2 new Lowline cows last month and their names are Pancake and QT – we didn’t think of those names, they came with them, but your names made me think of them 🙂 Pancake’s mom was Kupcake! Pancake’s pregnant and I’ve been trying to think of a name for the little one already, I’d have to stay in the “cake” trend, I think.
Are you going to stay with the “color” trend for your twin girls?
I have nine goats
Brutus, Ebony and Scooter……males
Big momma, Licorice, Sandy, Curly, Oreo and Boots……females
They’re awesome names Linda! I especially like Oreo and Boots – does Oreo have the Oreo cookie colors? I love the colors of the Oreo cows (Belted Galloways) – wonder if your goat looks the same 🙂
I named one of my goats “Gypsyania”….. “Gypsy” for short…
That’s a great name Jay!
