Do you name your (sim) farm animals?

I started a list, asked for name suggestions, and made a list of those names for the different animals. There were some pretty interesting ideas that came up from other players.

I always consult a list when looking for animal names.

I used to name them, often using one theme per coop etc. But learning animals grow elderly rather quickly I stopped naming the typical farm animals that are there for business purposes, but still name those that are more like pets, or at least that the household will keep until the animal dies. I rarely use those names any way, so I no longer see them as important.

I only name the ones my sim has built more rapport with. Though I fully admit I'm really bad (and lazy) to come up with pet names myself so I often go with the ones the game suggests.

I name all of my llamas and cows, but not all of the chickens, and often it's just an uninspired name for the sake of having one.

For chickens I'm partial to flower names, because chickens are kept in bulk and there are so many flower names. Currently I have Rosie, Willow and Linde in one household and in another one Black 1, Black 2, White 1, White 2, Brown 1 and Brown 2.

For cows I default to either Bonnie or Chelsie, except if the family has a reason to choose a different name. No cows in play at the moment.

My only llama is Putzi ("sweetie"), what leads to the combination of "Putzi putzen" ("clean Sweetie") when I brush him.

In my Main Save, where my YA Global Superstar, Erik Cantrell lives, his first Cow was named Magnolia. She recently passed in my game. He now has a brown cow named Charlotte. It's been so long since I played this save (took time to created a flashback save to take him through high school), I can't really recall the name he gave his Llama. Yes, he has a white Llama, finally. And the chickens are named after they hatch, too. Anything from Lady Puffballs, to Admiral Hawkins.

ETA: Thanks to the poster above me I recalled the name of the Llama, Sweet'ems. Yeah, it's strange, but Erik was in an interesting mood that day. ;)

I name them all. My sims have mainly had chickens and though there have been many of them I just always want to name them :D They often have names like Lemon, Bread, Corn and sometimes names like Blackbeard, Poseidon and Hera etc. Once I asked my spouse to name two chicken when I was out of ideas.

I have had a brown cow named Cinnamon(Neil Young). Hens have been named BettyLou(Sawyer Brown), MaryLou(Ricky Nelson) and Black Betty(Ram Jam). I named one of my roosters Wet Willie. As you can see they are named after songs.

Only Monty, the Llama.

I name them all... And then, when they die, I feel sad that little Blossom/Cookie/Georgie/Belinda/Ms Fluffy Feet, etc. etc. have met their maker, so I decide not to name any more animals. So I get replacement animals and call them Hen 1, Llama 2, Chick 3, etc. etc. And then I feel bad that they have no name, it seems so hard-hearted and... practical. So I give them names. And then, when they die, I feel sad that Peter/Mabel/Mr Cotton Ears have met their maker ... and so the cycle goes on. And on. :#
