Spiral:

Let's start by debunking the current entries:

Molly sounds too much like Dolly, the first cloned sheep, and who would want to feel like they are named in similar fashion to a clone?

Lampchop was a cute puppet, but it was a puppet, not a real sheep, who had a squeaky voice--definitely not the persona of your sheep.

Mary is overdone as a human name (my first name is Mary), more or less as a sheep name. I don't want to be named for what I look like or for a day of the week, especially considering there is an Adams Family member named Friday.

Martha makes me think of Martha Stewart, and that, frankly, is a lot of baggage to carry every day: everyone would expect high class, easy to make decorations. From a sheep. And that's just silly.

Girl is too generic. It's cute for the saying mentioned but too generic in any other context.

Many of the names have personal meaning for the person who suggested them, but what does that mean to your sheep? My grandma always says she thinks it's bad luck to name anything after someone else because then you have all those potential associations.

As for the translation names, those are like naming the sheep, sheep. I don't want to be named human in some other language, and personally, I don't want to think of a cooking lady that often.

Clementine would be dignified if it weren't for the song "My Darling Clementine"--it just doesn't ring of dignity to me.

The "Lovely Rita" entry didn't make me laugh--it made me a little sad to think about sheep becoming meat, so that can't be her name.

Gertrude is okay, but that name has a lot of bad cultural connotations: it's too often used to refer to unfriendly, stuffy old ladies. That, again, is a lot of baggage to carry.
