Our first pure bred Nubian Nanny was named E-bay when we purchased her and so when she had a doe kid that was all brown and had a white area with one large brown spot we named her Dot Com.  Dot Com in turn had a doe kid that had a field of white with a square in it so we named that one Chex. We have a “Foreclosure Goat” (recently homeless) that was all red with a white mustache so we named her “Got Milk”.  “Godiva Chocolate” had a doe kid with a chocolate body and a dollop of white on her head so she  is “Bon Bon.” Born on Christmas 6 years ago was “Holly” and so her daughter is “Ivy” which may please those of you that like green in December.  Of course “Bubbles” is due to her unusual pattern which is a throw back to the Nubians of Africa.  There are three tiny bubble babies this year.

We had so many wonderful names suggested for the babies over the last two weeks we would like to list some of them here.  With 33 kids so far to date (Jimmie is on pasture watch today scouring the landscape for new moms and kidlets) we can use most of these names.  Some are duplicates so that just goes to show that great minds think alike!
