Pets are a special topic. Indeed, often they turn into practically family members, causing the most tender feelings and emotions. The friendship between children and four-legged babies is especially strong. And, of course, when an animal appears in the house, the first question that interests everyone is: "What should I call it?"
By seasons
For example, you are interested in a nickname for a kid. The first thing that comes to mind is to give it, depending on the month when the animal was born. Of course, in a diminutive form. This can be Yanvarik or Aprelic, Martik and Martha, Mike (if you need a nickname for a kid girl) or Julia, August or Oktyabrina. It’s okay that some of them are homonyms to human names. This does not detract from our dignity. The main thing is that the child should like the nickname for the kid and pronounce it easily. Therefore, “baptize the same Oktyabrina” to Inna or even Rina, the baby will be able to train in the pronunciation of the sound “p” along the way.
By color
It is good if the nickname for the kid is given to the animal, depending on the coat color. Here Belyanochka, Snow White (for white), Spinning top or Sparrow (if a gray goat), Medvedik, Smoke (for brown suit), Chernysh or Chernushka, Gypsy and Gypsy come in handy. If there are special spots located in prominent places, certain nicknames for little girls can be given: Asterisk (identification mark on the forehead), Rosette, Tiger (spots on the sides). And goats call Bouquet, Champion, Winner (if born in the "socks" as an athlete).
Features
Those who kept animals well know that everyone has their own external differences. Nicknames of goats can be invented, relying on them. For example, if you have a “bearded” breed, then the corresponding name will suit: Beard, Old Woman (Old Man). If there are horns, let the Bodun be. And with earrings - Fashionista, Fashionista, Krasava or Handsome. Interesting nicknames for kid boys and girls can come up with a closer look at the structure of the coat. Curly and Curly, Tulupchik and Fur Coat - these are those who belong to downy breeds and have a dense undercoat. And if the animal has a particularly touching nose, expressive eyes, call Buska, Bead, Milka or Cute, Doll. For small stature (decorative types), name Masei or Masik, even Masyanya, remembering the funny character of Internet comics.
Character traits
Be sure to watch your ward! Criminals, shades of behavior, character traits - all this is also an excellent material, on the basis of which animals get their nicknames. The goat is playful, funny? Then let it be Fidget, Fidget, Pinwheel, or simply Igrunka. Calm, sedate call Kulemushka, Darling. If the goat, then Jumper, Bodach, Thunder, Wind or Typhoon, Gene, Cunning. Those who too often and loudly “label” are called Singer, Tenor, Bass, Byasha. Especially okay, prominent from themselves, "smooth" call Ladushki, Bellamy, Jessica, Richard, Ricky and other "thoroughbred" and sonorous nicknames. Butt lovers can be called loudly: Zeus, Diana, Mars, Aris (easier - Arik) or Dereza. And nimble and swift-footed - Meteor, Comet, Breeze.
By geographic parameters
Often, residents of villages and villages located near water bodies give their livestock nicknames associated with place names - the geographical names of rivers and lakes. This is explained by the belief that the larger the reservoir, the more milk the goat or cow will have. So there appeared Onega, Volzhanochka, Donnitsa, Kubanka, Chernomorochka. Of course, this is not an option for goats, but goats are very suitable. Although there are Amur, Irtysh.
And the options are “just like that”
To list all the possible nicknames that folk fantasy is capable of, of course, is impossible. Indeed, each locality has its own language flavor, nuances of mentality, and each family has its own tastes and inclinations. Therefore, we will use the alphabet and make a small list of the first few letters, which includes the real names of the “horned” domestic animals, that is, goats of both sexes:
- letter A: Astrachka (from Astra), Aziz, Aza, Azalea, Alyonka, Anyuta;
- on B: Squirrel (Squirrel), Bonya, Budulay (especially if the goat is black), Borka, Boatswain;
- on B: Jack, Varka;
- on G: Gita, Gavrik, Gavryusha;
- the letter D: Dunya, Woodpecker, Donna;
- on Z: Zorka, Zoryanka, Zita, Zinka, Bunny, and others.
As you can see, it is very interesting not only to get four-legged pets, but also to come up with a name for them!
