When the kids were little, they were in charge of naming the livestock guardian dogs, starting a tradition that continues today. All have Disney or Pixar names except for Frosty and Lucy who came at Christmas time and were named accordingly. Buzz, Dug, Ellie, Boo, Peaches, and Russell.
My youngest's first steer was named Dead Bob, his show heifers, grandmother, mother, daughter, were Honey, Polli 8, and Bee utiful. My favorite was his BC he named Hochalugy, and called her Spit. Since no one ever sees papers, he loved explaining the origin of her name and the fact that it got approved.
Don't ever name tools or equipment, just shovel, hammer, Ford, Dodge, Chevy.
When I perform at Celtic Festivals I introduce my Sebastopols as whatever Celtic names come to mind but the last is always Ed or Bob which makes the crowd laugh.
Oh, and I forgot the two rescue donkeys whose names always change with the seasons, they were Frank and Stein till today, now they are Peke and Pie. And so on through the year.
