For a goat that family have just acquired.

My DC have been given the proud task of choosing the name.

We want something a bit, well, goaty and down to earth, but it has to be a "real name" (ie a human name).

DC1 wants a Viking name (I think inspired by the fact that Vikings and goats have horns and beards in common Grin).

Current front runners are Trudie and Helga, but we thought MN might come up with more ideas.

We haven't met the recipient of the name yet, but apparently she is mainly white with some chestnut brown speckles, and is very playful.

Or what about Caroline? It's not fashionable at the moment and I have never in my life met a Caroline you'd mess with. They have wills of steel.

Maud, Edith or Hilda

I'm loving the idea of a goat called Maud.
Myrtle is also ace.
Hilda?

Wow. Apparently both my MN name and my real name are seen as clunky, unfashionable and feisty. Feisty is OK. But I always hated my real name and people would tell me it was fine. But apparently it isn't! 😳
