I don't mind brownie, its a sweet but she IS brown, so I just see it as her colour rather than a nice choccie brownie, which would be a far better association
noun (pl. Brownies) 1 (Brit. also Brownie Guide) a member of the junior branch of the Guides Association. 2 (brownie) a small square of rich chocolate cake. 3 (brownie) a benevolent elf supposedly doing housework secretly.
I changed Ru's name, but only very slightly. She originally was called Rusty, I didn't think it suited and Since I tended to call her Ru changed the last bit of the name so she became Ruby. (I didn't think I would get away with Rubarb!)
Genie's previous owners changed her name (from Scooter, which is more of a boy's name), and I think it brought them bad luck, as they sold her to me and she's turned into a cracker!
However I assume it is just a superstition, although I dunno if I personally would do it... We have an Eric and a Bruce on the yard, and it the names actually do kinda suit them...

Oh so if a horse has a passport and a dodgy name in it, do you have to use that as it's show name? or can you have what stable name and what show name you like anyway?
Confuses me
ETA coz all horses should have passports now, isn't that the law?
