We have had a goat for a while, he was sort of an accidental acquisition that we have grown very attached to. He has the oh so unique name of Billy Two Horn. Of course Billy has been lonely as he's been our only goat. We have had plans for awhile to get him a friend, and have been scouring craigslist for months trying to find just the right one that wasn't going to cost and arm and a leg to purchase. Anyway, we ended up getting two more instead of one. Both Pygmy's a wether and a doeling. The whether's name is Spice, but the little doeling has no name. She is itty bitty, barely larger than my Dachshund. A bit shy, but coming around. Nothing really remarkable about her coloring She needs a name and we need help. Right now we just call her the little one. I have included a picture of the 3 together, and the little one with the wipe conatainer. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

What about calling her Cinnamon because you already have one named Spice. I think it is cute.

If you want unique names, I'm probably not your gal... After all... I had a pony named "Pony" for ten years, and have a bay horse named "Bay" :D
I do love the goats though, I think our new place will have to have a couple :)

Cute goats! Is your old guy happy with the new additions? I was thinking something like Peanut or Hazel (like Hazelnut) because she is so small, but like the other suggestions of spices too.
I also am horrible at names. We didn't name any of our horses, just kept what they came with.

Hazelnut and Nutmeg are cute too.
I like Nutmeg and call her Meg. A little name for a little goat. I also like Tink, like Tinkerbell.

I really like all the spice related names too. Cinnamon and Nutmag are my favorites. The black and white goat looks exactly like a pygmy we had at our stable when I was a kid named Squeaky. She was like out mascot, but she died about 3 years ago and it was so sad. They are such clever little creatures!

Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't been ignoring you, but I've had a rather large family emergency crop up yesterday involving my oldest daughter. When I have time to sit down with all my kids we will pick a name, but unfortuantely it will have to move to the back burner for right now.

Well, I've talked with the kids and they have all decided on Nutmeg, it was a rather unanimous decision; for once they all agreed! So Nutmeg she is. Thank you everyone!
On the family side, oldest daughter is still in the hospital, she is doing much better and hopefully will be home later this week. I'm really hoping, because the 2 hour drive one way is killing me! Thanks for the well wishes as well.

I'm sorry. I forgot to comment on the latter part... Is there a post about it somewhere or are you just keeping the details private (which I would understand completely)? I will pray for her and hope everything gets better whatever the problem.

I made mention in it above but have not elaborated at all. She has asked me not to, so I will abide by her wishes. I did make mention though, because I requested aide in coming up with a name, and than the decision needed to be put off. I didn't want to appear rude asking for help and than never responding. She is well and your thoughts are appreciated, she will be coming home on Wed.

I like Cinimini, lol. Too cute! Nutmeg is cute too. Both fit here with her coloring. How does Billy like them?
