Sheep Names – Over 200 Outstanding and Seriously Creative Ideas!

You’re bound to find one that you seriously like!

Just a few introductory words and then we’ll skip right into sheep name guide. I believe these first few paragraphs will be quite interesting for you if you’re currently considering naming your wooly critters.

Do sheep know their names?

There is evidence, although anecdotal, that sheep recognize a yell or a call that is directed to them, but to them as a whole group. Many shepherds can confirm that if you have sheep and goats at your farm, sheep will recognize if you’re addressing them or the goats. On the other hand, it’s hard to determine if most sheep recognize their individual names. I found some older Youtube video where a lady shepherd calls for her one particular sheep. That one sheep responds to the call, but so does one other sheep as well. In the comments, the sheep owner discusses exactly this as one of the problems at her farm:

Do sheep respond only to the voice of their shepherds?

Sheep can easily recognize a voice and a face as well. So, they know their handlers quite well. Will they respond to another person imitating their shepherd’s voice and call? Take a look at another Youtube video:

As a side note, sheep also easily recognize and remember people that hurt them in some way before.

“A stranger once declared to a Syrian shepherd that the sheep knew the dress and not the voice of their master. The shepherd said it was the voice they knew. To prove this, he exchanged dresses with the stranger, who went among the sheep in the shepherd’s dress, calling the sheep in imitation of the shepherd’s voice, and tried to lead them. They knew not his voice, but when the shepherd called them, though he was disguised, the sheep ran at once at his call.”​—Orientalisms in Bible Lands, by E. W. Rice, pp. 159-161.

So, what should you name your baby sheep?

If you’re just starting your farm, or you’re not planning on expanding your sheep fleet past a few of them, then you’ll certainly want to name your little companions. However, choosing a name for your faithful flock can sometimes be a challenge. So let’s get you inspired in choosing some unique sheep names.

So, without further delay, here is a long list of many sheep names ideas and suggestions that you should consider when naming your wooly companions.
