Calf-Naming contest

I need a name for Juliet's heifer calf. She has a sister named Delilah. The Grandmother is Julep. No limits on entries. I am the sole arbiter. Winner gets 5 dollars.

Cleverness, cuteness, shortness and related to the Mother's name in some way are all desirable qualities.

Go for it.

Well, I think it ought to be Shakespearean.

Julia was in Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Viola was in Twelfth Night.
Hermia was in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Portia was in Merchant of Venice.

There's Cordelia of course, too, and that's very timely. But maybe it's too long.

Juju.

Dad said...

Try to remember the calf is female. So far, Juju is the favorite, but it's not because I love it.

The contest ends Thursday at noon. Plenty of time to win!

Jason, you don't have a vote. And what kind of a name is Livvie?

Caleb said...

Semadar is the sister of Delilah in the whole Samson and Delilah story, but Semadar is a pretty hideous name.

I thought of a really good one. But then a bird flew into a closed window next to me in the library and I forgot it. Poor bird.

Lucy said...

Romy (like Romeo, but a girl's name, and who doesn't love Romy and Michelle's Highschool Reunion?)
Monty (from Montague)
Joon
Daria (from Semadar)
Darla (same)
Dar (like Williams)

Well, Livvie is cute, short, and one heck of a name for a cow.

Dad said...

Hmmm. Liking Jordin, Jello, and Romy.

Livvie makes me think of livid or liver.

Too bad I can't name one Simon Cow.

Caleb said...

Cow-ell?

Mom said...

Yes, Cow-ell. One of the contestants on AI last night said something about a stuffed cow named Simon Cow belonging to one of his kids. Or something like that.

Anyway I don't see why a heifer couldn't be named Simon Cow. Or Simone, anyway. We could have a whole AI theme year and name all the heifers AI names: Jordin, Melinda, LaKisha, Haley, Paula. Paris! Carrie!! Minx!!! It would be fun.

Dad said...

Reminder: Deadline for entries is noon today. The winner will be announced Friday am.

Caleb said...

I've got it! Joan Baez!!!!

Dad said...

Caleb,

...before she bloggers you.

"Uncle Pauly" and Luke,

too late.

And now the suspense.

Luke Murphy said...

You mean you're not gonna name the cow Joan Baez?

Dad said...

I'm not. But I'll keep the name in mind for the future.

Call me this evening, Luke.

Dad said...

AND THE WINNER IS...


JORDIN!


Claire gets five dollars, which will be paid out as an annuity. Just kidding, hahaha. Thanks for all the input. I may try this again when I'm stumped.

Anonymous said...

Sweet! Wish I could put Jordin on top of my AI list.

Dad said...

Did you want the annuity paid out over 10 years or 20 years?

Jordin is a doll. A large doll, but a doll.

Anonymous said...

Duh, I don't know. Ask Don which one is better. He's the annuity man.

Dad said...

Five dollars is headed your way tomorrow if I can get to the post office. We're having a little mid-spring storm.
