Need a new RL farm name
-
Ever since we named our property and the goat herd "Komplete Khaos Acres", we've had nothing but horrible luck. I'm convinced we cursed ourselves even though the term is a long running endearment between friends and family...
Just from May 30th, I lost my uncle in a motorcycle accident, I lost a doe and her unborn kid 4 DAYS later, one of my baby goats ended up sick and we are still battling to save his life, I was labeled the black sheep of the family by an aunt for sticking up for my family against someone who was making crude remarks about us at my uncle's memorial (come to find out it was a friend of my aunt which still doesn't make it okay and it really erks me that my aunt didn't see what they were saying was wrong), and Sunday I lost my grandmother...
Looking for a name that is shorter than our current name and full of positivity.
We have a fox den in the back field and was thinking something like Vixen Run Acres or something along those lines -
Kitsune Karma Acres
Kittenish Kitsune Acres
Kidding Kin Acres -
What natural markers are you close to or are in your state? Im from Montana so my defaults are always, always, always, something MT themed. I'm from the Bitterroot Valley in Missoula County so my defaults are usually Bitterroot, Beartooth, Galcier, Big Sky.. etc.
Fox Run could be nice! I hear Vixen and I think something a little more..... promiscuous! Sorry LOL
Fox Valley Acres!
-
@Oatsman I figured the word Vixen because it's what I female fox is called and we have one that has pups in our back field every year :))
I do like fox valley as we are in a valley. The closest (nicest) thing to me is the Appalachian trail. Otherwise I'm in a super small farm town (2 traffic lights and the middle and high schools)... Stevie @Cherobird can vouch here :))
Edit - Fox Valley is a no go... it's already taken by someone in the ADGAPost edited by LEAcres at 2022-07-12 13:37:03 -
Fox Den Farm
Fox Trail Farm
Fox Mountain Farm/Acres
I would say Fox Hollow, but they're a meat farm in my area and I'm not sure that would cross paths at all.

May I say that it's entirely your aunt's issue, and not yours? You did the right thing.
As for names, hmm, I'll have to have a think. -
@OscarWildin I love all of those names but unfortunately it seems like everything with "Fox" in it is already taken... I even checked Fox Hollow and it's taken lol
@CLynnRose that name is available but there is another name that is a little too close to it for them to accept it
@Forestshadow thank you for this! I have been struggling and blaming myself for "causing drama" at my uncle's memorial for the last 2 weeks but I got tired of her making the remarks... one of the comments she made was complaining about how hot it was in the building because of all of the "funeral people" and she also came over and interrupted the memorial to sell her raffle tickets. Just overall a rude individual. After about the 3rd comment in an hour time span, I asked her nicely to stop and she came at me with teeth showing. My husband dragged me away by the arm at that point. And then when my aunt caught wind of it and the lady gave her the description of a short girl with dark hair, shorts and glasses on top of her head, my aunt instantly went after my cousin who doesn't have the best repport with the family but she's making great strides in turning her life around. And when she found out it was me, she came at me while I was knelt beside my grandmother and caused a scene in front of her. My husband again had to intercept and my mother dragged me outside. My only solstice in the situation is my other aunt (her sister) and a few other family members stuck up for me and confronted my aunt for overstepping her bounds and her friend for the crude remarks... -
Oh that's great, that you weren't the only one to stand up to her. She was entirely tacky and tasteless.
-
Perhaps you can still use Fox, but not as the first word. Mountain Fox Acres perhaps? Try some of the great suggestions that other people have made but turn the words around.
-
Hollow Trails Farm?
Hollow Den Farm? -
My ex-husband's wife came up with our first choice name which is
Imbolc Acres.
Imbolc is an old Celtic festival that happens between the winter solstice and spring solstice to celebrate new life and fertility as It was a time to look forward to brighter days, warmer weather, new growth on the land and the birth of farm animals.
I've come to the conclusion that having fox in the name just isn't going to work so if anyone has any suggestions for our second choice name, we are still looking!
