Most breeds have their pattern named based after the Male's phenotype, for example, Black Breasted Red OEG, Silver Duckwing, the other breeds are pretty neutral, but can you name the two breeds(perhaps more than two) that their phenotype's name/breed name is based entirely on how the hens look?
 
Swedish Flower Hen
Svarthona (Black Hen)
55 Flowery Hen
Cinnamon Queen
Swedish Black Hen
Basque Hen
You got it and since you are adding the Cinnamon Queen I will add Easter Eggers(Roosters don't lay eggs ;) ), but don't know if the popular sex links should be used? For example, black/red sex links where only the females are Black or Red and the males look way different(Silver or barred or Silver barred in the case of RIR Delaware cross)

Added to the list are Pencilled Hamburg( Males are Black Tailed Red, Silver or Cream), Partridge European breeds(Females are Partridge/Pencilled and males are Black Breasted Red or gold/golden/cream/silver ducking in pattern)
