    Maybe a different angle from other replies here. Maybe like “Jeff can be a girls name too.” Why only call female cows traditional female names?

      probably because they’re all cows and having a consistent naming scheme seems nice to the human psyche?

      It’d be weird to have one named betty, and then another named mark. The brain appreciates consistency and patterning.
