Dr. Pepper, left, and Fanta’s little brown one.
Fanta’s little brown one really needs a name as we are planning to keep her. (We were actually planning to sell the little black one, mostly because she was such an identical twin to Fanta. I’m only keeping a select number of does, so I want to mix up the colorings of the ones we keep. Feel free to suggest names for the little brown one!) But–this post is about one of my other “kids”–the human kind. I just found out that Weston is now a National Merit Finalist!
I still don’t know whether or not he will receive the scholarship. Some of the finalists get the scholarship and some don’t. It may be several more months before we know. (The National Merit program is a pretty long, drawn-out process.)

I would pick Moxie also for a name. A favorite soda pop here in Maine.

So many good names! I have to admit I like Sassafras, and Ginger(ale), and I’d forgotten all about Shasta, we used to have that in Ohio too. Frosty was a favorite brand of Root Beer when I was a kid too! Lots of other good ones like Tab, Moxie, Macchiato is great too, but should it be Macchiata since it’s a girl? I don’t know about those rules in Italian words. Maybe it would lead to a new line of coffee related names!
Nilla, for Nilla (vanilla) wafers? Hey, it’s a cookie thing! Sugar is cute, but she’s brown and you don’t want to go with Brown Sugar, cause that would get abbreviated to BS and that’s not so good.

She looks like rootbeer to me too but I have to admit I really like Sassafrass, Sassy for short.

Keeping with the bottle capt theme for the goat baby, I’d suggest Fresca or Root Beer (A&D? Mug?)

Congrats to Wes. It’s an honor to make it this far and I’ll look forward to hearing that he is a full fledged National Merit Scholar. Then I’ll do the happy dance.

And I support the Root Beer based name – the first time I saw a pic of that baby, I said “Root Beer!”
2:36

I was already thinking Shasta. Someone beat me to it. But I think Vess (as suggested above) is a pretty name for such a pretty little girl. YooHoo would be a crack up! I can just hear you calling YooooooHooooo! Tab is cute too.

Are you sticking with soda names? If so, I like Shasta too…..might also suggest Sundrop….that’s an old soda, but one I remember liking as a child.

As for your little doe, how about RC (cola) or start going on the coffee names — latte, caramel, mocha.

For the kid with 4 legs, stay with the bottle cap/drink theme, it fits them all…bubbly personalities…

Now about that precious little brown baby – I think she looks like a root beer float – dark on the bottom & lighter brown and frothy on the top. I thought about “Black Cow” since that’s A&W’s float, but calling a goat “cow” might give her a complex. So how about A&W? Or Cappuccino – and call her Cappy.
5:25

The little one should be called Brownie! He’s so cute!

As to wee Brownie I’ll just go with what I suggested the other day Jules( today is Jules Verne 183 birthday)
Caramel, Fawn or Faun, Fenella, Flora Frappaccino Mocha ( Alba lol) Effy piobar its Gaelic for Pepper. butterscotch I liked this too nutmeg is known by its Latin name as (myristica) Bathsheba k that might be pushing it…
Have fun choosing.

Moxie needs to be the terrible mother’s(Sprite?) baby’s name. Yoo-Hoo is a riot.
