 We are her extended family.
The Lamb thing came from an inside joke with Trey Lorenz(her backing singer) He had a friend that use to snobbishly call everyone Lambs,and she used it as a personal joke to make fun of Trey. She started referring to her fans as Lambs around 97-98,but it was the official name for the fanbase when the Rainbow era started.
I  personally love it ,I wouldn't have minded Butterflies though.
Individual members are known as Lambs,as a whole group were are The Lambily
Lamb+Family= Lambily
She also had another offiical fan club on her Website called Honey. B. Fly..don't know what happened with that..

Edit: Mariah Carey was THE FIRST out of  the MAJOR mainstream pop girls to name her fanbase.
