Another ‘ name needed’ post

[Meredith]

blitznbobs has found a name now so would the great HHO help me again please.

My brain has frozen trying to find a name that doesn’t remind me of another horse somehow or other.

What would you suggest as an original name for a, wait for it, 14.3hh 15 years grey i.e. white Connie gelding?

I have tried Irish, Norse, diminutive, surnames, colour etc. Nothing seems to fit.
His passport name is useless. It has ‘grey’ in it! and his previous stable name, which he doesn't answer to, is, to my mind, too silly for an ancient like me to use.

Virtual beverage of your choice to all
Thank you

Give us a photo would you??

Moe, short for Moses? No logic other than I knew a grey gelding called Moses and he was ace .

 

[Meredith]

I haven’t any recent ones. These are last September.

He needs a good strong Irish name in my opinion. I like Setanta but I think he'd also suit Fionn or Oisin or Ardal.

I think he looks like an Oliver (Ollie for short?)

Flash lightening based on the character of the grey connie I know, Flashy for a barn name.
Or George if you want a posh name.

*It seemed a bit cruel to suggest Dougal, unless it fitted him! And there's the grey hair of course.
Let's try this again Dougal. This scary plastic bag is small ... that one is far away".
"That packet of Polos was just 'resting' in my bucket."

And I don't know why, but my brain just suggested "Porridge".
