Naming a Horse

[Caladon]

We have bought another horse and it needs a proper name (horses have nicknames and show names). Any ideas? Nothing like "gone in a flash" as race horses have rubbish names like that! lol

I suggested Nimrod, Inferno and Vulcan, as he is a chestnut but Fidget is also the sort of thing we are looking for.

[Cetti]

Two names I love and always thought they would be great for a horse are Scipio - Roman general, or Mistral - the wind.that blows across southern France.

[logman]

I think JAY is a lovely name for a horse..

[Altosruleok]

Conker (as he is a chestnut horse - as opposed to a horse chestnut)

[Robert G]

I like it, Altosruleok! But if he is a chestnut horse instead of a horse chestnut, shouldn't he be named REKNOC?

Personally, I think all horses should be called TO ACCOUNT.

Either that or something really imaginative, like DOBBIN.

gizmo

misty

[Caladon]

I think dobbin was a mule, wasn't he?

Great ideas people, except the the conker spelt backwards! lol

We were thinking along the lines of a "double barrelled" name like, midnight dancer (the name of one of our other horses).

I appreciate your input :o)

My sporting passion is horse racing. Should I ever be fortunate enough to buy my own horse, I would name him / her after my user-name.

Brandy Butter.

[Altosruleok]

Oh a double-barrelled name, Caladon; why didn't you say earlier?
OK, then how about Conker-tree, William the conker, Mars-Bar (red planet), Betel-Nut, Mahogany-Joe (don't know why Joe - it just seemed a good idea at the time)

[bob57]

why not moonlight serenade you've already got midnight dancer moonlight serenade would go nice

[Playaxvx]

I attend horse shows, i always liked Blaize... however that isn't double barrelled...

[Playaxvx]

By the way i think Brandy Butter is the best so far... or maybe... Brandy Blaize (joining mine to it! ha ha)

[Cetti]

Double barrel, but I'm still going with a couple of wind names.

Santa Ana.

Sirocco. Great name even though it's just the one.

Ginger Nut. One of my aunts had an enormous chestnut with this name

[Caladon]

Wow, some great suggestions!

Brandy Butter is very good! His nickname is Billy but its the show name we are looking for. I think Brandy Blaize is a bit of a mouth full. Try saying it 5 times fast lol But still a good suggestion.

Did you mean Scirocco, as in the wind? I like that too! Will run them past my sister tomorrow (shes 13).

I should have offered a prize lol

Appreciate the continued help!

Please can someone stop me before I go off the end of the computer........ sorry, used to picking dogs names.

[Caladon]

LOL i like the red addair, but i doubt people will know who he is, in the uk!

But i do like fire cracker. isn't tacky or race horsy lol

[woofgang]

Blaizing inferno (spelling deliberate)

Shepherds delight (a red sky)

Dawn raider (also a red sky)

I live in the UK and I know who Red Adair is but do you need to get permission if you use the name of a living person?

Bronze Adonis (if he is really handsome)

[gessoo]

Whiskey Mac (Mac for Short)

[Robert G]

Fiery Chariot?

[josaphine32]
