Name The Lambs Contest

This post will remain at the top until the contest is over. For new posts, please scroll below.

My sheep had 3 sets of twins this year. The first set to arrive were a ram and a ewe. Their Mama is Sunshine. The ram we used was named Diligence. I have already named them. Here is their pictures. The little white one is Psalty and his sister is Pepper.


The second set of twins to arrive were both girls. Their Mama's name is Charity and the ram was Diligence. They are both black (although they could possibly turn brown) with silver tipped ears. The one has just a hint of white on either side of her tail. Here are their pictures.




The third set of twins to be born were both girls as well. Their Mama's name is Grace and the ram is Diligence. They are both black (again, they might turn brown). One of them has a white dot on top of her head and the other one has some wispy white with just a hint of tan on top of her head. The pictures below that show their heads close up are not that good. They are still wet from being born and they have some dirt on them. Here are their pictures.




Here are some rules and guidelines.

I am looking for names that go together for each set of twins. Just like I named the first 2 Psalty and Pepper.
The names Button and Bows are out because I already mentioned them in the video below as a possibility.
There will be 2 winners to this contest (one for each set of twins), but we might not necessarily use those names if we find something else we really like outside the contest suggestions.
If your set of names goes with one set or the other, please make it clear which it goes with. If you don't specify then I will assume it can be for either.
I ask that you leave your set of names in a comment. Your children are welcome to put their choice in as well.
You do not need to have a blog to enter, but leave me some way to get in touch with you (either an email or a webpage).
If you have questions, please ask away. I may add to the rules if situations come up that I had not thought of.
The contest will be over at midnight EST on May the 3rd.

The winner for the second set of twins to be born will get to choose between these 2 prizes. The winner for the third set will get the other. Click on the pictures to make them bigger and easier to see.
This prize is the blue bucket (I use them for porch planters), a ceramic candle with a lid (the lid has a tulip on it), a Mary Engelbreit journal, a keepsake card of needles and post it notes.

I will leave you with this video of the lambs and their mama's.

  2. I'll mention the name contest to the kids, but then you'll get a lot of character suggestions or food. :-) Chocolate and Caramel, Cookies and Cream, Bob and Larry, Ernie and Bert, and such. Rachel really wanted to name one of the goats Ariel (the mermaid), but none of the rest of us could see that as a goat name.

    If some of them stay dark, I guess you could go with Shadow and Silhouette or Twilight and Midnight. The lighter ones maybe Honey and Nectar. I need to give it more thought. Those are the ones that came to mind right away, but they are probably goofy.

  20. Marcie,

    I think good names for Charity's babies are Faith and Hope. It just seems to fit.

    I'm not sure about Grace's babies. Mmm! That is a little harder. I do like the suggestion of Hope and Joy, because Grace, Hope and Joy just seems to go great together. The only thing I can think of is Sebastian and Mozart and those are boys names. I am going to have to think on this one. If I can think of anything that goes together for girls' names, I will be back.

    Blessings,
    Mary
