Tana Fights Back:

I am going to defend my choice of names, which is NOT "Lovely Rita," as mistakenly endorsed above. And it's Farmgirl I'm trying to make laugh,* not a naysayer trying to topple me in the standings. =:0Rita Merino is my vote, until and unless you tell us what breed she actually is.

Brett, Sam is absolutely right. Naming a sheep something edible is just borderline psychotic.

A good friend says that the way to tell if a song is good is if you can sing it in chicken. I think the way to tell if a sheep's name is good is if you can bleat it. The thing about Rita Merino is that you can bleat it. "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiita Meriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiino." Try it. You won't easily be able to stop.

*Which, Tana, you did. : )

But then Sam says:

Tana - I hope you didn't spend too much money on you schooling. I hate to have to break it to you but sheep bleat with an aaaaa, not an iiiii. Had you suggested Ritaaaaaaaa Merino who knows, you might have been in with a slight chance.
