Queen Bella has three little reasons to keep everyone talking—and choosing their names might be the hardest part yet.
With two little boys and one little girl at the center of our latest naming discussion, the suggestions have taken several delightful directions. Some feel sweet and timeless. Others bring a little mischief, celebrate Bella herself, or sound ready to headline a country music show.
We started with Jasper, Finn, and Bonnie. Then came Spanky, Darla, and Buckwheat, followed by the Bella-inspired combination Bonnie, Blade, and Benson.
Now, according to our latest fan poll update, Hank, Willie, and Dolly are leading the conversation.
These are community suggestions, and the poll reflects our readers’ preferences. They are not an official announcement of the babies’ names.
Before choosing a favorite, let’s look back at the earlier chapters of Bella’s family story and explore what makes each proposed trio appealing.
Bella’s 2024 Babies: Edward and Jacob
Fan-maintained accounts of Katie Van Slyke’s goat family identify Edward and Jacob as Bella’s twin boys from 2024. A later episode of Katching Up With Katie also mentions Edward and Jacob and recalls that they left the previous year, supporting their place in the earlier farm timeline. Fan family-history discussion, podcast transcript.
Together with Bella’s name, Edward and Jacob make an immediately recognizable Twilight combination. For readers familiar with those characters, the names offer an easy way to remember the family connection.
That is part of the appeal of themed animal names. Each name works individually, while the group tells a little story of its own.
The same idea is shaping our current suggestions. Whether readers prefer matching initials, familiar fictional characters, or musical references, they are looking for names that feel connected without making the babies indistinguishable.
Edward and Jacob provide a useful starting point for that conversation: a memorable pair whose names naturally belong together.
Bella’s 2025 Baby: Emmett
The same fan-maintained family history identifies Emmett as Bella’s single baby boy in 2025. I could not locate an accessible original naming announcement to independently confirm that entry, so it remains an attributed part of this retrospective. Fan family-history discussion.
Katie’s own June 2025 farm update does confirm that Bella was among the expectant goats that season. In that update, Katie reported that Bella’s X-ray had shown at least one baby. The article focused on other arrivals and did not announce Bella’s baby’s name. Katie’s June 2025 baby goat update.
Emmett also fits the Twilight association, giving the reported naming history a sense of continuity.
For this year’s discussion, that raises an enjoyable question: should the newest names feel connected to earlier ones, or should this trio have a theme of its own?
There is room for either approach. A familiar theme can acknowledge the family history, while a fresh combination can give a new group its own identity.
Bella’s 2026 Chapter: Three Babies, Four Naming Ideas
Katie has shared a recent update announcing that Bella had delivered her babies. That confirms the story has moved beyond the pregnancy watch and into the next chapter. Katie’s Bella update.
Our community naming update focuses on two boys and one girl, with four suggested combinations competing for readers’ affection.
For now, the fun is in considering the possibilities. We are not assigning names to particular markings, claiming to know each baby’s personality, or announcing Katie’s decision.
Instead, we are asking which trio sounds right together.
Would you choose names you could imagine calling across a pasture? Would you follow a theme? Or would one individual name matter so much that you built the other two around it?
Here is how the current suggestions compare.
Jasper, Finn, and Bonnie: The Original Favorites
Jasper, Finn, and Bonnie started our discussion, and this combination still has a strong case.
All three feel familiar and easy to say. They have enough variety to stand apart, while sharing a warm, traditional quality.
Jasper gives the group a slightly more distinctive sound. Finn is short and lively. Bonnie brings a gentle finish to the trio.
There is also a pleasing rhythm when the names are spoken together. None feels unnecessarily complicated, and each could work comfortably on its own.
For readers who prefer individual names over a tightly coordinated theme, this may be the strongest option. The connection comes from how well they sound together.
It is easy to understand why someone might remain loyal to the original suggestion, even after seeing the alternatives. Sometimes the first combination simply stays with you.
Spanky, Darla, and Buckwheat: A Playful Alternative
Spanky, Darla, and Buckwheat take the discussion in a more mischievous direction.
The Little Rascals association gives the trio an immediate theme. For readers who recognize those characters, the names bring a sense of childhood comedy and familiar fun.
The appeal here is imaginative. You can picture the names on a playful introduction or a cheerful photo caption without claiming that the babies already behave like their fictional counterparts.
Darla gives the little girl a distinctive name, while Spanky and Buckwheat make an unmistakable pair for the boys.
This combination also stands out because it is less restrained than the original suggestion. It invites a smile before anyone has explained why it was chosen.
If your ideal baby goat names should be memorable, a little silly, and full of character, this trio makes a convincing argument.
Bonnie, Blade, and Benson: A Tribute to Bella
For readers who want the names to acknowledge their mother, Bonnie, Blade, and Benson offer a straightforward connection.
All three begin with B, tying the proposed names to Bella.
Matching initials make the group easy to recognize as a set, while the different sounds help each name retain its own identity.
Bonnie feels soft and familiar. Blade is sharper and more unusual. Benson has a traditional, surname-style quality.
That variety matters. A naming theme can feel coordinated without requiring three names that sound almost identical.
This option also keeps Bonnie in contention for readers who loved the original suggestion but wanted a stronger connection between all three babies.
The “B” theme belongs to this fan proposal; it should not be read as a confirmed naming rule from Katie. As a community idea, however, it gives Queen Bella a sweet place in each baby’s proposed name.
Hank, Willie, and Dolly: The Current Fan Poll Leaders
Then there is the combination currently leading our fan poll: Hank, Willie, and Dolly.
The country music theme gives these names an immediate connection. They are familiar, easy to pronounce, and distinctive enough that each baby could have a recognizable name within the group.
Hank has a sturdy, uncomplicated sound. Willie feels friendly and relaxed. Dolly brings a bright, affectionate finish.
Together, they sound like a trio.
That shared musical identity is probably part of their appeal. Readers can enjoy the reference immediately, and the combination suits the playful spirit of the discussion.
Still, a lead in our fan poll tells us which suggestion readers currently prefer. It does not tell us what Katie will choose.
For anyone making a prediction about the outcome of our community vote, though, Hank, Willie, and Dolly are the natural frontrunners based on the update shared so far.
Our Naming Prediction
Our prediction for the fan poll is Hank, Willie, and Dolly.
They have the lead in the latest update, a clear shared theme, and names that work both individually and together.
That is a prediction about reader preference, not a forecast of an official naming announcement.
Bonnie, Blade, and Benson offer the clearest tribute to Bella. Jasper, Finn, and Bonnie remain appealing for their simple, familiar sound. Spanky, Darla, and Buckwheat bring the strongest sense of playful nostalgia.
Each option answers a slightly different question about what makes a good name: family connection, individual charm, humor, or a recognizable theme.
Which Trio Gets Your Vote?
Queen Bella’s naming story now has several possible directions, and there is no need for everyone to agree.
You might love an entire trio. You might prefer a single name from each suggestion. Or you might be waiting to see more of the babies before deciding what suits them.
Here are the choices again:
- Jasper, Finn, and Bonnie — the original combination.
- Spanky, Darla, and Buckwheat — the playful character theme.
- Bonnie, Blade, and Benson — the Bella-inspired “B” names.
- Hank, Willie, and Dolly — the country music trio leading our fan poll.
