Name Game: Last Round.

For the last and final installment of "The Name Game" here on the farm, I have for you a buck rabbit. He is the father of the sister does and is a big softy. He's a dark dark gray with even darker points. He's very sweet and also very big. What should we call him?

On Saturday I'll announce the final names of all the animals and also announce the winners of free prints. Good luck.

Name Game Round 7.

I bought this little girl at the same time I bought the red buck. I picked her out first (hoping she was male), but knew that no matter what sex she was, she was coming home with me. She is absolutely pure red. She's got light cream circles around her eyes too. She's tamed down a lot these past few weeks, and doesn't mind being petted (again, it has to do with the daily clover feedings). She'll be heading out to a grazing pen shortly, so she won't have to be suspended in a wire cage much longer. Even though none of them seem to mind it, I hate having them cooped up in the barn, and like it much better when they are outside and eating grass. What shall we name her?I've got one more animal to name, a large buck rabbit, who I'll post about tomorrow. Stay tuned. On Friday I'll announce the winning names, and the lucky people getting free prints.

Good Night Everybody!

Name Game Round 6.

This is a young buck rabbit. He's a New Zealand Red, and he'll be breeding the three sister does in a couple of months. He was really nervous when I first got him, and would bolt to the back of the cage at the mere sight of me, but since he's been getting clover morning and night, he's been greeting me at the door and letting me pet him a bit. He's a sandy red color with a bit of gray hair mixed in. And when he's hot his ears droop a bit at the tips. Alright, suggestions on names.

Name Game Round 5.

This girl is, by far, my favorite animal on the farm. She is the sweetest, calmest, loveliest creature you'll ever meet. Nothing bothers her, and she's always right at the gate to meet you. She's sweet to the young kids both goat and human forms, and she's also pregnant and due soon. She's a LaMancha like the buckling, so she has just nubbins for ears. So, what shall her name be?

Name Game Round 4.

This is my adult rabbit doe. She used to be meaner than a snake and growl at you the minute you opened the cage door. She's mellowed a lot with this litter. She is a lot less aggressive, but she is still not friendly. She's the momma to the three sister does. She's a pale gray, and a good momma. What should her name be?Here's a picture for 'aw' factor. These are what she produces. Aren't they absolutely too cute? They are about three weeks old.

Name Game Round 3

This is my Alpine Doe who is due in a few weeks. She's a bit shy, but once she gets to know you she's super friendly. She is also the goat who got stuck in the silo a few weeks ago. She hates dogs and gets antsy if there is something new going on. Tell me what to name her.
And don't forget, anybody who puts in a name is entered to win a free print from The Gallivanting Girl. More animals you attempt to name, more chances to win.

Name Game Round 2.

This round, you'll be naming a group of three. They are sister rabbits from the same litter. They were born in February. They are extremely sweet, and they love clover. I can't tell the gray rabbits apart, but when they go to their individual grazing pens I'll be able to keep them straight. I'm thinking trio names like ones that start with the same letter or famous trios. Something along those lines. Let's see what you come up with.

Name Game: First Round.

Here is the buckling goat. He's a LaMancha, blonde and white in color, he has wattles under his neck (you can see them in one of the pictures). He is very ornery, and loves to torment the dogs. He really needs a name (along with a bunch of my other livestock), so the plan is to have you help. I've decided anybody who submits a potential name will be included in a drawing for a free print from my shop. I'll have the drawing once all the livestock have been named. So, the buckling is the first to get named.

Thanks in advance for all the help. Have fun with it. Keep in mind I really like 'human' names for animals, and names with backgrounds (ie, from novels, movies, etc.), and names with variations to be used in future generations (ie, if his name was King, then I could name his daughter Princess someday, as a hypothetical example).

You can submit your suggestions via comments on this blog, commenting on facebook, email, phone call, etc. Happy Naming Everybody!

Sorry all of the photos are action shots, he doesn't like to sit still.

You can see his wattles in the image above.

He's got white markings on his face, and beautiful light colored eyes. He was supposed to be disbudded, but the horns are coming back in as scurs.
