About female goat names
A female goat is a doe, a young one is a doeling, and nanny is the everyday word behind the nanny goat. Most small herds are nearly all does, because the does give the milk and the kids, so girl names do most of the work on a goat farm. Tradition leans on the pasture and the dairy: flowers and herbs such as Larkspur, Freesia and Marjoram, and cheese and dessert names such as Fontina, Cajeta and Panna Cotta. Old-fashioned farm names like Hattie Mae, Temperance and Ernestine suit a doe's long, serious face.
This list of 500 is written for does throughout, and it is a different list from our general goat page, which mixes bucks, does and unisex names. It brings in goats from stories: Amalthea nursed the infant Zeus, Heidrun gives mead in Norse myth, Djali is Esmeralda's goat and Schwanli is one of the grandfather's goats in Heidi. Capella, the bright star, means little she-goat in Latin. For laughs there are girl-goat puns (Lady Goatdiva, Bleatrix Kiddo, Nanny Kendrick) and names earned by behavior, such as Tin Can Tina, Fence Jumper Fiona and Queen of the Hay Bale.
Registered dairy goats carry their herd name in front of their own, so a short call name keeps the full name easy to write.
How to choose female goat names
- Pick a name you can call across a pasture. Two clear syllables such as Tillie, Lula or Zelma carry far better than Rapunzel Let Down Your Horns, which is a fine name for the barn sign and a poor one to shout at milking time.
- Name a doe's kids as a set. Many breeders give each year's kids one theme or build on the dam's name, so a doe called Buttercup can have doelings named Honey Butter, Apple Butter and Brown Butter.
- Does often have twins, so keep pairs in mind: Morning Dew and Morning Mist, Peach Blossom and Apple Blossom, Mary Lou and Betty Lou, or Sugar Cookie and Snickerdoodle.
- If the doe will be registered, remember the herd name goes in front. A short name such as Ola or Skye leaves room, and a long joke name may not fit the form. Check your registry's length rule before you settle.
- Wait a few days and let her behavior decide. The one who clears every fence is Houdina, the loud one is Screaming Mimi, and the one the others follow is Boss Lady or Herd Queen.
Frequently asked questions
What is a female goat called?
An adult female goat is a doe, and nanny is the informal word for the same animal. A female under a year old is a doeling. Males are bucks or billies, a castrated male is a wether, and babies of either sex are kids.
What are good names for a girl goat?
Pasture and dairy names are the classic choice: Clover, Buttercup, Larkspur, Marjoram, Fontina and Brie are all in the list. Old-fashioned farm names such as Hattie Mae, Ernestine, Temperance and Mabel fit a doe just as well. For a goat with a story behind her name, try Amalthea, Capella or Dulcinea, a good match for a LaMancha.
What are some funny female goat names?
Most goat jokes use nanny, doe, kid, baa and maa. The list has Lady Baa Baa, Maa-donna, Bleatney Spears, Nanny Poppins, Goldie Horn, Whoopi Goatberg, Cookie Doe and She's the G.O.A.T. Behavior names are funny in a different way, such as Shoelace Thief, Laundry Line Bandit and Picnic Table Dancer.
How is this different from the goat name generator?
The general goat page mixes names for bucks, wethers and does with unisex names. Every name here is meant for a doe, and the two lists share only a small set of classics such as Clover, Daisy and Nutmeg. If you are naming a whole herd, use both pages.
