New contest - Name my sheep

A few days ago I have posted a photo of an unidentified subject, asking to ID it.
Here it is.


Unfortunately many things interfered, I got destructed and so on and I did not follow up right away.
Well as they say - better late than never - here is a regular photo of the subject above.


Yes this IS a sheep. It is one of my newer stitch markers. And yes, it does glows in the dark.
And here is his crochet buddy:


They are both miniature glass sculptures hand made by Czech artisans.
The only thing missing are the names. Now, since my idea for a name, for a glow in the dark sheep - was
"Chernobyl Ram", my husband has gently suggested asking for other opinions.
So, I am asking.
Can you help me name this sheep?
The rules of the contest are simple:
1. Leave a comment on my blog suggesting a name for either one or both sheep (please specify which sheep are you naming).
2. Follow this link to my Etsy Shop and add my shop to your favorites. ( In the right column click on "Add seller to favorites" )
3. If you have a blog - post about this contest there.

Next Wednesday, November 18th, I will post the poll with the prospective names, you get to vote - and the two winners will get a sheep of their choice.
Good luck to all.

I have one of your cute sheep (the one that doesn't glow in the dark and is crochet) and I refer to him as "Sherman." So, I suggest "Sherman" for the crochet glow in the dark sheep.

I have already marked you as a favorite on Etsy and would love to blog about your markers.

Hello Beverooni
I can not name him Sherman because I already have a Sherman in my Etsy Shop - the same Sherman you named.

I would love to hear another name from you.

Oh, I thought he was Morris. Well, we can't name him the same thing now, can we?

Hmmmm, how about Rupert?

Beverooni said...

Actually, now that I think about it I think it should be:

Sherman the Sheep
Rupert the Ram

To luvin
Thank you the names are very cute.
To Beverooni
The crochet guy - is Morris.
To each sheep his own name.
Rupert? I like Rupert.

Beverooni said...

I do too. The more I have thought about it the more I like it.

Just adorable!
How about Ori for the crochet marker and maybe Zivi for the knitting one? Both names mean "glow" and I think they would be perfect!

I would name one Aurora Borealis and the other Aurora Australis for the two beautiful, glowing nighttime displays of shimmering lights in the sky. I leave it to you which would be which.

Henya, I've added you to my Etsy favorites and I blogged about the contest. But, sorry, as hard as I tried, I can't thing of anything clever to name your sheep! But, I do agree with your husband that it shouldn't be Chernobyl.:)

If I think if anything before the 18th, I'll post another comment.

My thanks to all who have participate in the contest so far. I have not been able to be as active about it as I wanted to. So because I have fallen so far behind on this we - me and DH made an executive decision to extend this contest for one more week - until November 25. I will blog about it later today G-d willing.

the second should be called Shevas the great!
