Good farm animal names suit the animal and say something about its character: a soft name like Thimble for a lamb, a pun like Granny Mooington for a cow, a sturdy old name like Gertrude for a pig. Naming a pet lamb, a new calf, a trio of hens or a cheeky goat? This farm animal name generator has cute, funny and classic farmyard names for sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, ponies, goats and ducks, from Daisy and Button to Mootilda and Sir Clucksalot.

Naming each kind of animal
Pick an animal and the names follow its noises and habits:
- Lambs and sheep: soft, small names, and baa puns. A lamb raised by hand is often called a pet lamb or, in parts of England, a cade lamb.
- Cows and calves: moo puns like Moorgaret and Moonica, or a grand title like Prince Cudsworth, after the cud cows chew.
- Pigs and piglets: classic names like Opal and Huxley, or wildflower names like Speedwell and Meadowsweet.
- Chickens: cluck puns for hens and grand titles for a cockerel: Sir Clucksalot, Lord Crowington.
- Ponies, horses and donkeys: sensible names that work on a stable door, like Annabel or Basil.
- Goats: a young goat is a kid, so the cute goat names are extra small: Pea, Wiggle.
- Ducks and geese: waddles and honks: Lorraine Waddleton, Countess Honksalot.
Names for a flock, a herd or a toy farm
- Naming several at once? Pick a theme, like flowers for the hens or grand titles for the geese, so they sound like a family.
- On a working farm, short names are easier to call across a field.
- For a toy farm or a story, the funny names give each animal a personality before the game starts.
