Black horse names

[pixiebee]

I have a little black welshx mare. I plan to jump her over the summer so am looking for a 'show' name.These are a few off the top of my head
After dark
angel in disquise
nothing but naughty
skys the limit (sky)
the devil rides prada

any suggestions? her name is storm but I used to havea horse called storm and I think of it as a boys name. She is 12-is it wrong to change her name? what do you think (she is passported as storm so will have to live with that!)
picture-not a good pic but might help

My black boy is called "Black Magic"

 

[Elliep25]

....or what about belladonna (means beautiful lady in italian) and her show name could be deadly nightshade!?
I do like Black Magic too though thats a lovely name. x

She looks lovely - exactly like my previous black welsh x mare, even to the white foot! Her name was Bellissima. I like all your suggestions too!

How about 'Nerina' (pronounced Nereena)-its Italian for 'little black one'.

 

[Tamba]

what about Twilight beauty

as shes gorgeous

 

[skint1]

I like Nerina!

 

[CeeBee]

I like Black Velvet! Velvet is such a cute name.
Or good old Black Beauty!

I had a black NF when I was younger and he was called Midnight Fantasie (Midnight). The fantasie part came from one of his ancestors.

A place to look for lots of names of black horses is one of the Pullen-Thompson sisters books from the Black Beauty's Clan series as they all had their fictional pedigrees listed with lots of black horse names. Two I remember are Black Velvet and Black Nightshade, two of the horse stories they wrote.

Great childrens books in the vein of Black Beauty although I haven't read them since I was at school (a long time ago now!).

My ideas seem a bit warped by comparison to some of the beautiful names you have all thought of...

Black to Basics
Black to the Future
Black Eyed Pea
Black Sabbath

I've had 2 blacks:

Isla Negra
Amour Noir

Weird I know.......

 

[pixiebee]

hmmm, so many choices!!!!!! I do like the italian ones as my surname is italian!!! lol

 

[kal40]

Our black welsh D is called Opal (Im guessing you get black opals). and her passported name is Gwarchod Welsh Countess.

 

[TheShark]

What about Oya - it's the goddess of thunder in the Yoruba religion (whatever that is!)

Or - more relating to the black theme:

Inky sky
Queen of clubs/spades (aka Queenie)
Bella Noir

She looks gorgeous.

 

[Elliep25]

Please do tell us what you pick in the end.Good luck deciding x

 

[Rollin]

Yes you do get black opals. I love them they are actually dark blue and very expensive.

Also black pearls. I have two Shgya Arabs from foundation stud at Babolna in Hungary, I would have loved a black one but they are rare.

The black stallion O'Bajan (1940's I think) was known as the Pearl of Hungary - nice don't you think.

 

[bitlessbill]

Bill is black and his show name is Midnight Magic.

My friends lad is called The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy for short

How about The Princess of Darkness
