Male Sheep Names

How male sheep names are built

Each sheep name is a single word from a gendered list, 109 male entries and 119 female entries, picked not built. "Slam", "Rowan", and "Salt" come off the male list, "Angel" and "Dixie" off the female one. The pools mix soft rural whimsy with plainer, earthier picks.

Naming notes

Single-syllable options carry across a paddock, which matters at feeding time, so the shoutable picks earn their place. Whimsical entries ("Twinkle") sit beside earthier ones ("Mush", "Ebony"), and the split maps cleanly to use: save the gentle picks for lambs in children's stories and the plain ones for a working flock where the name is just a call.

When do the whimsical names fit?

Save gentle picks like "Twinkle" for lambs in children's stories. A working flock reads better with the plainer entries like "Mush" or "Ebony".

How are the banks sized?
