runninmommy Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I finally found a buck that I can breed my does with. I have Nigerian Dwarfs and was having the hardest time finding a buck to breed them. Until last night. I went to a chicken auction and someone brought in a pygmy buck! I was so excited. You always need to breed a small buck to a larger doe, so the pygmy fit the bill for me. He will freshen up my does so they will be "in milk" and we will get some cute little crosses out of them. I am so happy. BUT...I would really like a name for him. He is just the most sweet, affectionate thing. He has huge brown eyes you could drown in and mile-long eyelashes. I just keep coming up with cheesy names. So, if you feel inclined to help me, please go to my blog http://www.herdingducks.blogspot.com and leave a comment to name him. If it really, really annoys you that people like me come here and leave links to blogs, I apologize profusley. It is just too cumbersome to re-type everything. Thanks!!

runninmommy Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Really??? Someone has to have an idea??? Should I just name him "Billy?" That seems lame. Something with the eyes? Hmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 How about Gimli? Or a Nigerian name.... I don't know any. I'd have to look them up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 He is so cute. I would name him something to do w/hearts, since it looks like he has a heart on his forehead. Lovey? Corazon?(cant remember if that means heart). Buck Rodgers-sorry its hot in CA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamagistra Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Off the top of my head, how about Buck Norris? :D I like naming animals after Hollywood men. We have a ragged blonde rooster called Nick Molte. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in AL Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 here are some names I found online. I searched for Nigerian Dwarf Goat names, and variations of that. I found a list of 'pet goat names', so I'm listing some below. Maybe this will get the 'name game' going. :001_smile: I think your new addition is absolutely darling, and I love his "heart shaped" coloring on his face. He's a charmer!! Boomer Ceasar Romeo Clover (too girly?) Cocoa Cookie Cola Comet Duncan Hercules (he *does* have a Herculean task ahead of him with those bigger does! ;)) Houdini (see Hercules) Here is the website I found those names on: http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/namelists/a/namesgoat.htm This is fun!

Lakeside Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Maybe you could find something that complements the names of your does. What are they named? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I think it's hilarious when animals are named formal human names. Name him Sylvester or Henry or William or something. Byron. Vince. Archibald. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeatherInWI Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 My first thought was Rogers -- as in Buck Rogers. Does that put me on the cheesy list? :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 George (as in Washington). You know, because he's a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen sn Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Taking from others here - based on the buck (dollar) and heart on his face: George Corazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 OH! He is precious!! We have ND, but we didn't keep our little buck. Our dd's want to keep our "herd" named after characters from The Nutcracker, so we have Sugar, Plum, and Reed is the buck. Can you find the Latin or Greek word for heart? (French is couer.) He is just so cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runninmommy Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 We decided on Ambi Corazon. Ambi for ambitious and Corazon for heart. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
