Carol,
I do the same as you. The moms name is Lucy, her lambs will be named starting
with an L. Example, Lacy. If you have trouble coming up with names, get a book
for naming babies, they have lots of neat names listed alphabetically and what
they stand for. I do this mostly so my husband can keep things straight, but he
still can't remember the names.
I think that theme names are neat also. Think of expensive vehicles. Lexus,
Cadillac, Lamborghini,Porsche etc.
When registering dairy goats with the ADGA they have a tattoo year letter. This
years letter that must be used is D. So every kid could be named starting with
a D and you would know that that kid was born in 2013. Next year it will be E,
then F and so on.

Subject: [Blackbelly] Naming schemes for lambs

Hi everyone,
It's been quiet for quite awhile. Everyone must be either flooded out
or drying up in the drought!
I was just wondering what kind of naming schemes you might use when
naming lambs born in your flock. I generally name my lambs based on
maternal bloodline. For example, if the ewe is named Betty, then I
would name her lambs Beatrice, Beetlejuice, Bonanza, etc. That is
good for 26 maternal lines.
Another gal I know names all lambs born in a group by something
common, for example flowers (Rose, Petunia, Lilly). That way she
knows siblings and perhaps year of birth.
What naming schemes can YOU think of? Do you use a scheme when naming
lambs in your flock?
Carol
