This little gal is going to be a big part of my life for the next few months until we can get her reintegrated into the flock. I quite enjoyed making the video about her and am thinking of making more.
Any questions about raising a bottle bummer you would like to know more about?
Ask her if she likes any of these names (unless you've tried them already...)
Keziah (means cassia tree)
Kalina,
Keiko - Japanese "happy child"
Kaia (rejoice),
Personally, I quite like Keziah, but then I'm not a lamb!
Then you could do weird, like I'm known to do - would she like to be Koala, Kookaburra, or Kestrel? After all, I've got a goose named Robin and a gander named Beetle (although he's technically Betelgeuse, after the star, as opposed to an insect!)
Is she at least doing well and growing, even if she hasn't chosen a name yet?
Kalista, no idea what it means, a friend’s daughter is named Kalista
Katherine, that’s my daughter’s name
Kore (pronounced Corey, like if there were apple cores all over everywhere you would say the place was “core-y)
What it means is “maiden” from ancient or archaic Greece, maybe Greek mythology. If you like the sound of it, you could probably find out a lot more about the name on a web search 😊
K-ute (Kay-ute)
Kalamata
Kanji - after a tree that is very hard and strong (Cinnamomum camphora)
Kerrikie - Australian Aboriginal word for small tree, I think is most apt.
She's adorable! Too sweet!
Hubby's raised bottle kids and won't have sheep after having raised them too many times for 4H.
Since I haven't learned to spin, yet, and don't eat mutton (our rule is I have to be willing to eat what we raise), there's no rush.
My family is full of K names, so I'll suggest a few that aren't being used by relatives. XD
Kamaria - Swahili "like the moon"
Kanani - Hawaiian "the beauty"
Kiku - Japanese "chrysanthemum"
Kismet - American "fate/destiny"
Kuni - Japanese "country-born"
I do like Kipper. She's a Pisces lambkin for sure!
Kitten
Kangaroo or Kanga
Kali - I think the Hindu goddess of destruction is a hilarious name for a lamb (think mother nature really angry)
Kaliope- a Greek muse of song, literally means beautiful voice
Karma
Kachina- a Native American fertility god
Kefir (is she a dairy sheep?)
Kebab (I prefer to name meat animals after food, probably not applicable in this instance)
Kiwi
Cat suggested Kiwi, so here are some more from te reo Māori:
Kauri - a native conifer that gets huge
Kete - a basket for collecting kai, usually woven from seagrass
Ka pai - all right
Kai - food
Kirimi - cream (borrowed word)
Koru - the spiral of a fern frond, symbol of regeneration and new life
Kotahi - first
somehwere I thought I saw that your little lambkin wanted hugs before it would feed. It inspired me to write a little children's story. I'm going to add pictures to it and maybe it will be a hit!

yep, she will only eat if she gets a hug. very annoying. 20 min hugs for a 2 min feed.
but also very good for me. It's been a rough few weeks and hugs are helpful.
Lambkin hugs sound amazingly therapeutic. I think there are quite a few of us who could really use 20 minute long cuddle sessions multiple times a day.
Yep. I could use a few. Shame you can't do that over the internet!
