Help Me Name My Goat
I made an impulse purchase yesterday.
Within an hours I heard about, researched (on youtube) and bought a
goat.
But it’s not just any goat, it’s a pygmy goat which pretty much means they figured out how to make a former farm animal small and cute and get suckers like me to buy them.
But I need YOUR help.
We can’t decide what to name the little fella. So my wife jokingly said to make blog post out of it… and so here it is.
Help me name my goat. Just give me your best pet goat names below. I’ll reduce it down to the top three I like and let Andrew and Chloe pick the best name.
Oh, and check out this video where Steve Hochman, Michael Duivis, and I attempt to bring the goat to my house to surprise everyone on the day my wife’s entire family flew in to visit

A pygmy goat!!! it has to be called “Billy the Kidd”
Here’s a few goat-fitting names….
Chino
Trouble
Cheetoh
Tex
Hercules
Brutus
Stewie (not as in goat stew you sick bastard!)
He’s a cutie. You better bring him to the office April 16th so he can meet his sister from another mister. Hahaha
Dan @ 8:13 am
I would name him Archie for Archos which in latin means ruler or leader. I have a feeling that little goat is going to run the Keuilian housedold. See you in April.
Juan Paco - that’s the name of the Columbian coffee guy… well, his name is Juan and the mule’s name is Paco… I don’t know why… but I like coffee… a lot.. Juan Paco Keuilian…
Or maybe Crew… combo of Chloe and Andrew

Lawrence Ragos @ 9:18 am
Since you’re from Cali, call him JABBAR after Kareem Abdul- Jabbar.
Louise Petkov @ 9:21 am
What a cutie. What a great idea for a pet for the kids. You could call him Capra (goat), Capricious, because you know he will get into a lot of trouble or better yet, Pan — the flute playing goat god who charms the nymphs and gets wild and crazy? I want to see the photos of you holding him when he drinks from his baby bottle!!
Have fun and thanks Bedros for including us!
Rocky!
i was gonna name our dog “The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase”, but my wife said no to that…so you can steal that. Some others could be :
Guido (thats my dog’s name)
Killer
Horny
Kennedy (after Dan Kennedy)
and I like Dexter…love that show
Sarah @ 9:32 am
WOW!!! Chris and I were laughing so hard when Di put up that you brought home a pygmy goat- I said really? she said REALLY!!! I love the no, I love it, I’m adjusting…..So awesome, Can’t wait to see it
A little serial killer-ish….

Jason Klein @ 9:56 am
Def. “Mr. Chino”
Kim @ 10:06 am
Wow…cute baby goat!!
How about “Alfonze” for the goat’s name?
Kinda cute and unique name
Good luck with the goat, hopefully he won’t cry all night or it’ll be just like when your kids were babies…up at all hours of the night…oops

Kiel Hinrichs @ 10:32 am
Off the subject a bit, but I think you got plenty of names to choose from. Am I the only one who saw that the kid face plants on the concrete in the back but no one notices because the goat is being introduced?
Jonathan Lerner @ 10:45 am
hahaha wow that is awesome Bedros. I love the look on Di’s face once she noticed the goat and realized that it wasn’t a joke! Priceless.
As for names here’s a few: Boomer, Ceasar, Hercules, Taz, and last but not least, Steve.
Better not let Leonard Wankerski find that goat. Never know what he would do with him!

Throw out the lawn mower!

SPARTAN !
He’s adorable, how about Calamity? I’ve always wanted to name a dog that or my next child…
Ryan @ 11:01 am
how about keeping it simple and just call him, ” fruit bat bob the hobbit”
Steve Hochman @ 11:16 am
LOL That was so “epic” yesterday… I like Dexter too… Maybe we can get it’s horns sharpened so it can be an attack guard goat lol
Dillon Martin @ 11:35 am
We give all our pets old grandparent names.
I think you should call the goat: “Murry”
Shawn Horwood @ 11:43 am
I had a goat named “Bandit”…I can’t really think of any other names.
CHRIS PEDROZA @ 12:13 pm
HOW ABOUT “THE ASSAILANT”
I know an itty bitty chiuahua named Dexter…. So my vote is NO to that.
Being into big things,
Goatzilla
Goat Kong
GTO : the original goat
barbell : obligitory gym name
kettle : (bell)
speedy
Expo

Tim hughes @ 1:23 pm
How about “Hochman” - named after the great man of bootcamps?
Daniel @ 2:11 pm
Reminds me of my big black lab called ‘Hercules’, Herc for short. Great strong name…hahaha…but for real
Richo @ 2:29 pm

Im thinkin. . . Don Juan De Marco!!!
RB @ 4:21 pm
I recommend naming him after something you want him to emulate. i have worked with animals and they all seem to emulate their names. Great names to mirror (in my opinion, obviously:) sweetness, honey, sugar, Gus or Pearl (my dog’s names) I just like the name Bubba for a little goat, or maybe a human name like steve (after you-know-who… I am sure he would be touched) or frank, lurleen, biggie smalls- related to the pygmy (a shout out to Notorious B.I.G.. RIP) Chica (O), Billy, or maybe just straight up goat or goaty. Can you tell I love naming things.
That’s it for now. Thanks for the great blogs. Have fun with the adorable goat!
Happy Friday!

Hello, Bedros
Bro, that seem like something I would do. As far as a name goes I think Lil Mac is a great name. Good luck with the goat.
You May want to keep Steve away from your goat.
Brenda @ 5:06 pm
How ’bout BlackJack. Two strong syllables. I also like Bubba. Again with the syllabic strength. Paco, also good.
headbutt or butthead
I think Impuse is cool because thats what he was. An impulse buy.

I have a Beta named “Mongol”. I’ve always liked that name, after seeing the movie “Blazing Saddles” years ago. People always remember the name.
I think the best name would be “Passive” as in passive income.
As your goat grows bigger so will your passive income streams!
Makes sense in my head at least

Deb Shiemke @ 7:41 am
YUMMY!
Chad Alfords @ 7:45 am
“Bill” Would be great name for that little guy!
Sara Hutniak @ 9:24 am
Hey Bedros,
I would have to agree with Dexter (that was the name of my huge German Shepherd).
But another name for your goat could be Kevin (that was the name of that rare bird in the animated movie UP - and every time I think of that it makes me laugh)!
Good luck on a name.

ron @ 11:55 am
You should name him Apollo or BlackDevil.

Billy obviously!

Jacob Mcluskie @ 1:57 pm
If you are going to use him as your company mascott how bout a name like “freedom”. Kinda lame i know but i see him as a representation of what we are all trying to achieve, to be able to run successful businesses that allow us financial freedom and time to do what we want to do. Alot of the people who comment on this post (me included) wouldn’t dream of doing something like buying a baby goat beacause of the time it would take up as we’re too busy in our businesses. Your blog is all about trying to achieve freedom in our lives.
Just a thought.
Thanks Bedros!
Hey how about “Blackie”?
Tally @ 7:12 pm
lol..I vote for buuuudddy..lol
Aja Davis @ 3:50 pm
O-M-G I kinda want a pygmy goat now. Bedros, you’ve started something baaaaadddd. And I live in NYC. I wonder if it’s even legal here.
As for names what about Manchego. And you can call him Manny for short. Are you gonna bring him to FTB Summit??
I want one! I’m such a sucker for cute animals. Does it get along with cats??
Rob Simonelli @ 7:03 pm
I want a goat now! I would call him “Pedro”.
Tanika OWens @ 10:49 am
Orbit!
denise @ 4:23 pm
You should name your goat after a great east coast legend, “Goatman”, and if he is going to be your company mascot call him GM for short.
Good Luck, D. Best

Karate Arlington TX @ 9:23 am
Bedros,
Do you still have to goat? Either way, its a great way to make
memories for your family.
Renee @ 5:33 pm
Goats are herd animals and will not be happy alone. You need
to buy another goat or find him/her another home.
Sharon Hall @ 12:29 pm
Impulse buy? You’re kidding right?? (no pun intended) I feel quite concerned about this poor little goat. You should have done a little research before getting him. Especially a male goat which will stink when it gets bigger unless castrated. Bucks also can get a lot of attitude and aren’t good to have around young children. Do you still have this goat? I sure hope you found a home for it ON A FARM with OTHER GOATS since they are herd animals & do not do well alone or in the suburbs.
Donna Keith @ 10:33 am
I’m assuming it’s a male goat . . and they will tend to be more hairy than females, . . definitely more stinky if allowed to breed.
Anyway, our male is named Gandolf, and we had another one named Pancho. More ideas for you.
