follow on thread - worst "posh" names...

Here's a few .. Auntie Gladys ,buck not , familiar art all rugs had f. Art written on them one of our ponies is called bejay tangolyn which I think is ridiculous I
 
We had one at our current yard called Inde-Cent. Another at a rehab yard I was at called Vile (pronounced Veelay, but you can guarantee the commentators never got it right!).

Then, for sheer silliness, a youngster I worked with was called Red Lake Mountain Ringlet (it's some sort of butterfly, but seriously? Why use it for a horse?!).

One of the funniest/meanest I ever heard was given to a horse at my ex's yard: Crispy Bits, aka Crisp. His trailer caught fire when he was being transported to the yard and, although he wasn't hurt, the name came from that...
 
Some of my favourites are pocket rocket which went to the same BE events I did and I just loved the name. Another is willy L pronounced will he hell BSJA wouldn't accept that though lol. I've currently got Rhubarb Renaisance, Ptah (thats his only name so I just call him P) and my foal is called Grandstan as the people I bought him from called him Stan after a family member and I think Grandstan is quite clever so I kept it.
 
The breeder calls all his horses Rhubarb. I had Rhubarb Royale before and my sister had olympia. Renaisance is just a mouthfull and never fits in the box lol
 
My non horsey brother wants to call a racehorse "Adog" so that the commentary would go....and there is a dog in the lead...

There is a racehorse called Ray Source which always sounds weird in the commentary.

My other half, fed up with the OTT names some show horses have, calls those whose names he cannot remember "sooper dooper pooper trooper".
 
**whispers** snuffleupagus is actually from sesame street not the muppets! !
I had a fugly and a Calvin Klein!

I
also Have a van du cumul horse. He is called Baltimore van du cumul. It never fits on the score sheets!
 
Snuffleupagus belongs to a friend of mine! Awesome name isn't it!
My boy's sire is 'vinnie jones' and his mum is 'the captain's flight' - oh wanted to call him football captain! Not happening...
He was called buckaroo initially as well - apparently bucked a lot as a foal but shortened to roo. Breeder was considering puckaroo as show name (or pukka-roo!)

Swear he's been in the Muppets too... Either way, it's an awesome name!
 
Diva is Direct Pleasure it still makes me feel awkward when I say it and we have had her nearly 5 years!

What's worse?... She's in foal to Royaldik!

We are going gave some fun when the foal arrives with names!
 
My girls proper name is hoopvol which I thought was fine but the day I got her someone pointed out it spelt lovpooh backwards... Instantly went off it!
 
To my friends disgust her son called his mare 'Snatch' - he was going through a rebellous phase!

Cats are called Catastrophe, Catalyst, Catmandu & Catamaran, Dog often refered to as Dogone - over the fence again!
 
My first pony was called dick Turpin - shortened to dick and my friends was spring time fantasy - shortened to fanny. The commentator in the pairs xc nearly choked when he read out our names - dick and fanny!!

I saw a race on TV once with a horse called "The Other One" - it was very confusing hearing the commentary until I realised!!!
