Congratulations Kathryn! What great pictures. This is the name I came up with as your calf was born on Kim's birthday. Though you probably already have a name, my hat in the ring would be Cyneburga for the following reasons (below). I think around the time you were awaiting the calf I was standing by as Kim was going through the throes (and ups) of the 24 hour flu. He bounced back for his birthday.

 

KIMBERLY

Gender: Feminine

Usage: English

Pronounced: KIM-bur-lee   [key]

From the name of a city in South Africa which was originally named for Lord Kimberley, whose surname means "land belonging to CYNEBURGA" in Old English.

 

CYNEBURGA

Gender: Feminine

Usage: Anglo-Saxon

Means "royal fortress" from Old English cyne "royal" and burg "fortress". Saint Cyneburga, a daughter of a king of Mercia, was the founder of an abbey at Gloucester in the 7th century.
