Everyone quickly becomes attached to animals. Therefore, you want to give your beloved pet the most interesting and memorable name, no matter who it is: a cat, a turtle, a puppy or a cute sheep. The nickname to which the animal will respond should be liked not only by its owner, but also by the bearer himself. And sometimes it decides the fate of a pet. Therefore, when thinking about what to name a domestic lamb, it is better to take time and think carefully about everything.
How to choose a nickname for lambs and sheep
When choosing a nickname for an animal, their owners most often use several criteria. Eg:
- pet's birth month, day;
- character traits;
- external features;
- behavioral habits.
Sometimes, looking at an animal, cartoon characters or movie characters come to mind. Therefore, when choosing names for lambs, you need to find their individual characteristics. It's good when cuts are allowed. For example, Noyabrina has difficulty speaking. The sound is greatly simplified if the animal's nickname is shortened - Inna, Bree, and in the case of a male name - Noah.
By suit
Nicknames for rams, depending on the color of their coat, are easy to choose. Most common nicknames:
- Snow White;
- Fluff;
- Chernushka;
- Smoke;
- Snowflake.
Often the most banal names come to mind. For example, a lamb was born larger than its relatives, so its owners named it Giant or Strong. An individual that is too shaggy will receive the name Curly. And also common nicknames for sheep are Tiny, Tail.
According to special appearance criteria
Sometimes animals are born with specific differences from other representatives of their breed. For example, a visible mark on the forehead can become fateful for an animal, which will be called Speck, Star or Flower, depending on its shape. An active animal with a dark coat can be named Gypsy, Bagheera or Nochka.
Names for lambs are usually chosen simple. If an unusual spot resembling a tie is found under the baby’s neck, then most likely they will call it a Bow.
An animal with an unusual ear shape will become Ushastik. The size of the pet also matters. Weight or height may affect how the animal is called to you.
Nicknames for boys
A farmer who has already mentally gone through all sorts of names and still hasn’t figured out what to call the ram can use the already well-known options:
- Zhorik;
- Grisha;
- Hedgehog;
- Umka;
- Donut;
- Gypsy;
- Yasha.
Some lovers of foreign culture call their animals nothing more than Bobby, Jean, Time, Charlie. In this matter, everything depends on the farmer’s imagination.
For girls
Choosing a name for a girl is as easy as choosing a name for a boy. A sheep can be called:
- Zlata;
- Orange;
- Zoya;
- Caramel;
- Greta;
- Squirrel;
- Forget-me-not.
Among foreign ones, you can use such nicknames as Bridget, Laura, Julia. At the same time, it is also important for domestic sheep what intonation their name is used in.
Name by character
Each animal, like a person, is unique and inimitable. It also has abilities. You just need to be able to look at them. If the lamb really likes to play and bully, then the farmer should name it Toy, Tyfusha. The affectionate animal is worthy of the name Ladusya, Khavrosha, Mila. The lamb, which initially shows its character and seems to be at the head of the herd, should respond to the nickname Perun, Chief, or you can choose any other name worthy of a leader.
Cartoon names
The most popular nicknames for cartoon lambs are Shaun the Sheep and Dolly the Sheep. They sound very cute and you can't help but like them. Of course, if you use the names of heroes of Russian cartoons and fairy tales, then the following come to mind: Kapitoshka, Khavrosha, Kolobok.
By time of birth
Often a pet is named depending on what time of year it was born. The season, the month, and sometimes even the day of the week are important here.A summer girl can be called Yulka if she was born in July, Augusta, respectively, if she was born in August. There are also many lambs named May, Martha, Yuna, Summer. Some may name their animal Friday or First.
The importance of choosing the right name
Sometimes the animal seems to come up with a name for itself, making characteristic sounds. This is how the farmer gets Agushi and Kukushi. However, the animal must love it too. Otherwise, some characters may simply ignore when they are called. To prevent this from happening, it is better to choose what you like and observe your pet’s reaction.
