I need names for my new Damara sheep! Photos are on the photogenic board ... I have a few names in mind but I am interested in what guys think. I'd like to name them by theme, but havent got anything particular in mind yet.
:shocked: :shocked: :shocked: OK let me think...LOL :greengrin: the white beauty...I pop up with snow flake, snowball,Sweet Pea 6 yr old F3 ewe....sheila 8 yr old pure ewe ....Ashley...
Okay so I know I asked for names but ... I named them :greengrin: I looked around a bit on the internet cos I wanted very much to name them by theme - my goaties I name by the letter of the year and at times it does get a bit boring. I got a list of suggestions, things I might like, then I spent some time around the sheepies today to see what their personalities are like. I went with names that would look good and are kinda fancy to go on pedigrees, because I eventually want to get into reg'd animals; but they are the kinda names that can be shortened to a call name too. I went with a Casino theme. Introducing: Pacqio Gambler's Chance - because she's the one who we arent sure about pregnancy status - so took a gamble buying her. Chancey for short Pacqio Madame Vegas - because she's a bit of a wild child party animal, and very much a little miss or madame. Vegas for short Pacqio Red Roulette - actually I dont know why I gave this one this name - just seemed to stick. Ru for short Pacqio Casino Queen - because she is the matriarch and the alpha ewe. Queen for short The list of names I came up with for lambs (some of them match the mum's names, some are generic): BOYS Gambler Dealer Ace of Spades Blackjack Casino Chip Jester Joker Russian Roulette Double or Nothing Elvis GIRLS Take a Chance Lucky Chance Chance Your Luck Lady Luck Queen of Diamonds Queen of Hearts Royale Rummy Miss Vegas Moulin Rouge I also came up with good names in Astronomy, Shakespeare, Magic/Fantasy, Music, Fashion/Designers and Alcohol. So at some point in the future I will use these themes for a batch of lambs or two.
I've already got a 'Snow' family - snow, snow white, snow bell, snow ball, snow drop, eidelweiss, snow flake ... Already got a Sweet Pea too (I think everyone has got a Sweet Pea!) But you are so so right - the 6 yr old ewe definitely looks like a 'Sheila' :shocked: lol
that's good at least I got one right...LOL Sorry that you already have those names...wow ....I think we are running low on new names.... :help:
I like your choice for names, I like the first one and the fourth one the best! . These are the coolest breed of sheep I've seen!!
