I am fond of Cosette and Eponine. Those really are incredibly cute goats. The white mark on her side reminds me of the white mark on our Lotus. It is more square though, and I always call it hieroglyphics, since she has an Egyptian name. I'm thinking of naming her kids in line with the Egyptian theme!Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-26261788003806609282010-02-22T11:11:30.919-06:002010-02-22T11:11:30.919-06:00How about something from Turandot?

The spelling is quite close, but the pronunciation is different enough.<br /><br />" 'Giroflé-Girofla' is an opera bouffe in three acts, its music by Charles Lecocq and text by Van Loo and Aterrier. It was first produced at the Théâtre des Fantaisies Parisiennes, Brussels, March 21, 1874."<br /><br />Best of luck!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166839124977410148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-42548878964928849392010-02-21T22:39:40.839-06:002010-02-21T22:39:40.839-06:00Sally, thanks for that link!

One even said they would not buy the goat with its given name. Last year was the first time in eight years I've ever had anyone upset about naming, and it happened three times. I'm thinking that in years past, my daughters always had them named when we put them on the sale page, so people realized we named them. My oldest daughter used to do a LOT!Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-15831828343761851902010-02-21T22:03:11.549-06:002010-02-21T22:03:11.549-06:00Kathy makes a good point - I never seen an animal ...Kathy makes a good point - I never seen an animal barn or pet that wouldn't come to any name you called them as long as you said it sweetly.<br /><br />We had some prettttty interesting names for my grandmother's cows. heeheeSkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-30710601903561490962010-02-21T20:38:00.060-06:002010-02-21T20:38:00.060-06:00I had to explain to some buyers last year that tho...I had to explain to some buyers last year that though we assign "registered names" that they can choose any "barn name" they'd like to call the goat. I went on to explain that our herdname must be a part of the registered name and that I must sign the registration papers and choose a name that is in keeping with our herdname... thus they are usually "officially" named before they are purchased -- but they are smart animals and can learn a new name in no time if you want to call them something else.... that seemed to work out okKathy Parhamhttp://www.parhamfarms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-81125523518036518022010-02-21T17:30:25.759-06:002010-02-21T17:30:25.759-06:00How about Despina and Dorabella?

Those names are just from me searching googling and then searching thru Wikipedia, so I make no guarantees as to the accuracy of the information (or the accuracy).
