Brett's First Entry:

All you bloggers (70 comments so far!) have submitted such clever and well thought out names and yet the obvious choice seems to have eluded you. I mean, really, so many of you are food bloggers, even.

First, let me explain the problems inherent in the other names:

Molly, Clementine, Mary, Lydia, Darla, Rachel, Gertrude, Patricia, Mona, Heidi, Fiona, Stella, Isolde, Chloe, Cassie, Tabitha, Kelsey, Hannah, Eleanor, Emma, Masha, Matilda, Muriel, Meredith, Gertie, Gerlinda, Lydia: too human
Lambchop, Mutton, Muffaletta: dinner anyone?
Girl: too plain
Rita Merino: sorry, she's Border Leicester-Finn cross
Friday: why not Saturday?
Pepper: close, but mine is better
Martha: she'll end up in prison
Willow: is she a weeping tree?
Cocoa, Chocolat, Cappucino, Mocha Merengue, Mocha Merona, Cocoa Puff Girl: she's not brown
Mereno: too close to moron
Rachel: in 30 min. she'll be dinner
Gialloventuno: too hard to pronounce
JauneVingt-et-un: see previous name
Marie AntoiKnit: have you forgotten the guillotine?
Chirpy Chirpy Sheep: she's not a bird
Hot Rod Mama: she's not a car
Skittles, Snickers, Sodapop: all rot your teeth
Amarillo: she's not Texan and she doesn't want to be called yellow any more
Euphemia, Eustacia: by that logic, why not Euthanasia?
Mona Lucy: huh?
Coriander: good spice to season your lamb curry...bad connotation for sheep, perhaps?
Cashew: are you nuts?
Thum-baaa-lina: even the prince that married Thumbelina disliked the name so he renamed her Maia
LE Zed: Led Zeppelin?
Cy Lynn: are you insane? (as in asylum)
Frida: Kahlo me crazy, but I don't like it
Juney: too late, it's October
Cocoa Puff Girl: are you cuckoo?
Viola Swamp, Urma, Violetta, Fluffernutter: make up your mind
Patience: a virtue that will put her in the hospital (as in patients)
Daisy Dew: sounds like doo-doo
Cher: do you really want to see a sheep dressed in that skimpy outfit?
Philomena: I don't mean to be a martyr, but she died when she was just 14
Little Miss Can't-Be-Wrong: wrong, guess again
Laines, Lanas: are you wooly? (means: not thinking clearly)
Snorf: pardon me
Sphinx, Cleopatra: ancient history
Missy: excuse me, Missy, but am I missing something?
Tallulah: nice for an actress, but this is a sheep here
Lottie Lou: too precious
Guinevere: you wouldn't want to receive a lot of spam, would you? (as in Spamalot)
Dollie Lamb'a: may have to go into exile
Bella Fleck: right idea (noticed the flecks on the coat), wrong name

Now, don't get me wrong, I love you all and those are all great names and should receive honorable mentions, perhaps a hundred-way tie for second place.

But, look at this sheep. Look deep into her soulful eyes (especially all you food bloggers out there) and tell me her first name isn't Pecorino.

Look at her pepper-flecked wool and tell me her last name isn't Pepato.

Pecorino Pepato, named after the ewe's milk cheese flecked with black peppercorns from Ragusa in Southern Italy.

Name decided. Contest over.
