First, all definitions of Wether mark it as a castrated ram thus fixing the gender of the Wether as male. The Zootopia character of Bellwether is a female so the meaningfulness of that portion of the name is invalid.

First, all definitions of Wether mark it as a castrated ram thus fixing the gender of the Wether as male. The Zootopia character of Bellwether is a female so the meaningfulness of that portion of the name is invalid. While there have been some WMG theories about Bellwether being some kind of inter-sex gender, this is pure speculation and is not supported by anything said by the creators in interviews, \\\"behind the scenes\\\" features or \\\"making of\\\" documentaries.

In addition, during a Q&A podcast, the creative team said they were attracted to the name \\\"Bellwether\\\" based upon its definition of the leading sheep of a flock that has a bell on its neck. They found that name meaningful given Mayor Bellwether\\\'s role in setting up the savage predator conspiracy and the power it would give her to lead the prey population of Zootopia. They even went so far as to add a small bell necklace to Bellwether\\\'s character design.

At no time in the discussion did they ever mention the \\\"castrated ram\\\" component of the term and they never mentioned anything related to her motivations that would give any foundation to EunuchsAreEvil being associated with her character.

The entry about Bellwether being a Wether has been re-added after it was removed as being a very Natter-heavy example. To forestall an Administrivia/EditWar, I\'m opening a discussion on the example and providing a detailed reason why the Wether = castrated ram is not a good example of the MeaningfulName trope. I\'m also sending an invitation to the troper [=GDelscribe=] to participate.
