Just born this weekend, my 2 new hiking partners. (load carriers)

Male, Nubian goats, purchased from black mesa ranch, the one highlighted in last months az highways.. if not interested in goats, check them out for their artisan goat cheeses and chocolates!!

Any thoughts on names? I still havent met them, so that always plays into it..

Awwwww cute

The one with the white ears looks like he has a bunch of lighter white patches of fur, kinda like freckles. Freckles could be a good name. The other one has kind of a coppery coat, so maybe you could call him Penny? I don't know, or maybe you could name them after some nerdy movie reference or something.

I majored in Biochem in college and so I might name them after two of the elements on the periodic table. Like if you were to name them after the elements Molybdenum and Francium, you could call them Molly and Francie. Or you could go basic and name them Oxygen and Nitrogen, but call them Oxy and Nitro.

Or choose two constellations or something related to hiking....

Bambi and Rocket

BTW... you crack me up

In response to joe bartels:
See I don't make things up....

They look mischievous(sp)...so Taz and Marley

Umm I didn't pay attention to the fact that they are MALE goats, so some of the ideas I gave were kinda feminine sounding. Ignore those haha

In response to berkforbes:
How about the obvious for one of them..... Billy.

I can't believe they have this stuff out there on the www.

hahah Joe, you and bob crack me up...

freespirit, i now know where to go when i need some creative help.. which is always.. thanks for the suggestions, even the girly ones lol..

Bob, lets hope you didnt just jinx me, otherwise they will quickly become trail side BBQ.. (just playing of course..)

the internet=never ceases to amaze me

Chevon and Cabrito. I hear it is becoming quite fashionable in some restaurants.

In response to bart01: before i assume otherwise where does the inspiration come from for these names?

In response to berkforbes:
goatmeats.com

Whistle and Buddha

Cabra is a no-brainer. Chupa for the other one?

Pun intended.

I'd go with Ren and Stimpy.

hey... you are going to rent them out to fellow HAZ'ers right?

In response to oceanwithin: With the recent responses to this thread I'd guess probably not

Does mint jelly go with goat too? or is that just lamb? Just wondering

I would pay good money to have Beavis and Butthead carry my pack on a long trip. Those are my name choices, btw.

I like Cabra and Chupa myself. Could make for some fun conversations on the trail.

Being a plant person, I might choose to name them after some of my favorite grasses: Muhlenbergia and Andropogon (Muhly and Andy for short).

(Just 'cause I think most of you will miss my hidden pun, all grasses are forbs as opposed to trees or herbs...) :GB: Gawd, I'm a nerd
