I mean, Jemima isn't great on a person in the US, but I don't think anyone would have a problem naming a goat Jemima. Plenty of people read Jemima Puddleduck. I love naming animals after very Boomer/grandma names. A friend of mine named his puppy Barbara, which is adorable.

Janet, Pam(ela) and Roger go together well as 1930s names; Cynthia is more ornate and seems more 60s.The llamas have got very sweet names ... I'm guessing Bounty is white with a touch of chocolate brown?I like Pamela, nn Pam, Roger and Jemima: we have no bad associations here in South Africa, but it doesn't get used much at all.

I love Jemima, very usable. Cynthia is whiny, Janet is plain and dated, Pam is dated but ok, Roger is hyper-masculine and aggressive to me. Love the llamas names. Toffee and Caramel esp. what even is toffee? I should Google it I guess. I'm guessing it's like coffee but more elaborate?

Toffee is the best it is like the texture of a soft peanut brittle but with a caramel flavor. Like a candy version of carmal & molasses cookies.You should order some sometime and try it you'd love it!

Toffee is a sweet made from caster sugar, dark brown sugar, double cream, butter and a small amount of vanilla essence. The above is a recipe for chewy toffee though toffee can also be hard.

Pam, Cynthia, Janet and RogerI love the sibset idea of Pamela and Cynthia so this is cute. Roger is a nice name. Not a fan of Janet even though it's a family name for me twice over. I had a great grandma Jeanetta who went by Janet because she said Jeanetta was "too much" and I have a cousin that was named for her.

Those goats sound like a bunch of guests at a retirement party. lol Roger is a pretty fun name for a goat, actually, but the other three, not so much. Jemima is only fit for a pet, imo.
So two of the llamas are named after candy, and Bounty? Is there a candy brand called a Bounty Bar or something? Because otherwise it stands out. (In the US, Bounty is a brand of paper towels.)

Yes in the UK a Bounty is a chocolate bar. It’s coconut covered in chocolate.
