Pastey Started conversation Mar 19, 2013
I don't enter competitions on Twitter. I don't really enter competitions at all.
Last night however someone I know retweeted a post from someone who shepherds herdwick sheep in the Lake District (https://twitter.com/herdyshepherd1) and herdwick are lovely creatures, and the Twitter feed seemed interesting, the photos alone are gorgeous. So I followed them. And, er, became their 3500 follower and can now name a lamb.
This is a big responsibility it seems!

Oh, so many possibilities:
Hitchhiker's characters,
Real ales,
Amusing food-related names ('Mint sauce', etc)...

As soon as I told the wife, without missing a beat she replied "You're going to call it Mutton aren't you?"

Apart from the straight forward interpretation of 'mutton', are there some euphemisms or slang expressions related?

Lambert?
No, not original enough... hmmm...
Safido? Esperanto for lamb.

Suggestions so far in the office include Comeby and Sit, purely to confuse the sheepdogs.
I'm warming to Trillian or Douglas though

Agrajag. Totally inappropriate for a cuddly fluffy silly lamb.

Is it a girl lamb or a boy lamb? 
If it's a girl lamb, you could call it Mary...

Bada. (The forbidden lamb).
All kidding aside, Douglas, Trillian, maybe Zaphod. All good choices.
I tried to adopt a cat from my neighbor's daughter a few years ago. (She was keeping 7 in a small apartment.) I was happily surprised to learn his name was Zaphod. When I mentioned my "42" tattoo she went all glassy eyed. It meant nothing to her. Her daughter had named the cat after a featured meerkat on a nature-reality series called Meerkat Manor.
