Now I must say at the outset that Felch is right out. For obvious reasons. But seriously, I am getting three Pygmy goats tomorrow. And I need some good names for them. Pygmy goats live to be about 12-15 years, so they need to be names I can feel comfortable yelling out in the pasture. “You _&_^%'ing Damn Goat (Satan’s Minion), Come Here NOW!” would probably upset the neighbors. They attend Church every Sunday and home-school their children. They probably don’t want “Cartman, you ASSHOLE, COME HERE NOW!!!” wafting to their children’s ears on a daily basis. I would really appreciate any suggestions for names at this time. Thank you for your consideration. I will post later to let you know what names I have selected. Thanks, truthbot ---

Call me a picky Bitch if you will, but ‘Chevon’ is not a name I will consider either. These goats will be pasture pets for me, I am not raising them to be meat. I am however; considering making goat cheese from them. Their milk, that is; not from the animals themselves. Perhaps it would help if I gave the sex of the goats. The Momma is a yearling, and every bit the female. The babies are (1. a wether and (2. a doe. I hope this helps in the naming process. ---

**OneYogini** , verrrrry funny. I will happily send you email pictures of my baby goats if you like. They are adorable. They are as playful as puppies and even an Iron Chef would have a hard time butchering them for their meat. I have taken some of the names into consideration, and will continue to take names for the next 24 hours. If all else fails, I may name the male goat “Doper”. ---

I have no suggestions, but I just want to say that I LOVE goats! I am so jealous! I can’t wait until I have a house in the country so I can get a little kid of my own. Cute goat story… My best friend, cousin and I went to [Parc Safari](http://www.parcsafari.com) in 1995. There is a walk through part that has deer, pygmy goats and potbellied pigs that you can feed and pet. I sat down on the ground and had about 20 goats jumping on me, headbutting me and nipping at me. I was in heaven!! ---
