FANNY needs changing..

[JessDoesItBetter]

Hiyall!
I think i need to explain the title of this post!

im getting a new horse (if she passes the vetting!), but there is one problem... she is called Fanny! I'm at a total loss for inspiration when it comes to renaming horses, so help needed please!
to tell u a bit about her she is a 16.3 dark bay holstiner mare. all ideas welcome!
thanx!

Annie, especially if she knows the name Fanny?

 

[Weezy]

Franny?

tranny?

Fanny is short for Frances, although not the greatest of names for a horse.

i LOVE the name Annie

I don't hink it even needs to sound the same as her old name as long as you are consistent in what you call her from the first day you have her.

I changed Daisy's name from Kalla when we got her and it didn't matter. She definitely knew her old name and she definitely knows that I call her Daisy, I've always thought that they respond more to the tone and inflection than the actual name. If they're bonded to you then they will respond to what you call them

Frankie

- I am biased.

ETS - Although this is kind of a male name

i have to say that is an awful name and i can see exactly why you want to change it, any of the suggestions would be better

could we see a photo? might be something that just fits!

you could choose a name from the same sort of time... as in old fashioned...

 

[alicedove]

I must admit I love the name "Fanny" but for Frances, IMO it should prob be Franny... she sounds lovely, Hols, are meant to be nice and trainable..

 

[vicm2509]

It doesnt really need to sound the same. I changed Barons from Silk

I really didn't think Silk suited a 16.3 gelding. He responded to it from day 1.

Good luck with your new horse.

I wouldn't change it as such, just ad to it - Fanny Adams!!

 

[jes_nibley]

I used to ride a horse named Fanny, I called her Fanta as I just couldn't bring myself to call her Fanny.

The best bit was she was stable next to a horse called Blackjack - his nickname was BJ!

I agree tho that it's the tone you use that they respond to, not necessarily the name.

 

[Taboo1968]

How about a small adjustment to it by sticking an R in there are calling her Franny!

 

[vicijp]

Call her Herb.

 

[Pedantic]

Buy a gelding and call it dick, then you can tell everyone you have a dick and a fanny.

 

[Thistle]

have visions of the commentator saying, and next to go is xxxxx riding on her fanny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pmsl

 

[Sooty]

Slag. *whistles innocently* (Hopefully you will have seen the posts in SB or you will think I'm being rude!

)

 

[southgate1975]

Nooo, keep it as-is, then you can have hours of fun talking about your horse !

 

[Harihorse]

Can we see pictures of your Fanny?.....LMAO what a brilliant name, I love it.

 

[Happy Bird]

Granny ?

 

[mossy]

Had a horse called fanny once, we called her fantastic fanny, nothing better than shouting across the showground "anyone seen my fantastic fanny! Turns a few heads thats for sure!!!!
