The Letter "H"



You may have noticed that Charlotte (born in 2012) has a name starting with "C."  Edna and Elly May (born in 2014) have names starting with "E."  Frankincense and Fritz (born in 2015) have names starting with "F."  So guess what 2016's letter-of-the-year will be?  No...not G!  2016 is the "H" year!  "Hurray!"

I wrote a longer post last year  (read here) about the ADGA's method of tattooing.  Each year they have a "preferred" letter to tattoo in the goat's left ear which symbolizes the year.  They skip the letters G, I, O, Q, and U since they are hard to distinguish when tattooed in a goat's ear (thus, this is the "H" year.)

Since I love order and consistency, I like to name the goats according to the letter-of-the-year!  I have been keeping a list of "H" names for the goat kids which are arriving very soon!  All three of the does are pregnant, so I am expecting at least 3 kids to name.  However, it is possible that the goats could have twins so there may be more!  I'd love your input in helping me choose the names for The Great Goat Adventure's 2016 kids!
