This week’s prompt by Jude.

This week’s prompt from Alex: This is my latest acquisition by artist, and author Mary Griese. Give my sheep a name. Now make a list of names for your next short story or novel, and keep for reference and as prompts. Remember, names go in and out of fashion. Ethel is back in, Derick is out. Invent some names. Names matter.
