Thanks for pointing this out. While Google and Wikipedia confidently redirect me to the Monty Hall article, which does mention a goat at some point, the common name for it in English is "Monty Hall Problem". In other languages it's a three-door-problem or the goat problem, but given that it's such a good example for so many things in psychology and maths, I should be using the most common name in each language.
