[Jacob-list] names?

[Hobsickle at aol.com]

"Dandy's" is a contraction of my name and my wife's (Dan &  Sandy). 
 
When we got into Jacobs we thought that we'd do everything we could  to give 
the sheep Bible names since the breed was named after sheep described in  the 
Bible.  That may seem like a challenge, given that one keeps more ewe's  than 
rams, but a few years ago while reading threw the Bible I kept a list of  
every woman's name I ran across--it's 110 names long.  Couple  that with Biblical 
concepts and words like "Peace" for a particularly mild  ewe, "Agape" (the 
Biblical word for love) for a ewe born on Valentine's day, and  "Noah's wife" for 
a ewe we never got around to naming (Noah's wife appears  as a character in 
the Bible, but her name is never listed) and we've got quite a  list to choose 
from.  Some of the sheep get names that seem to fit  based on their character 
and some just get the names that strike our fancy  at the moment, but so far 
so good on the Biblical motif.
