Gertie needs a posh name, all witty/clever contributions gratefully received

[Baydale]

I know she's not quite a competition horse yet at 4 and a half months old, but young Gertie needs a passport so I thought you might be able to come up with something - I lack imagination, you see.

She's by Grafenstolz out of Grace (by More Pokey), so I'm thinking it's gotta be G-something or Graf-something. Sadly the names "Big Ears" and "Fatty", both of which would suit her, have already been taken by Cal and Jupiter.

I'm just off to Ma and Pa Baydale's so will bring some cake back for the person who can be the most witty.

Graffdale Grace?

 

[trakehnersrock!]

I don't do witty, but how about Gnädige Gräfin, which means gracious countess, and picks up on the first two names (couldn't do much with the pokey bit lol)?

 

[Maesfen]

Grafenpoke(y) - sorry!

 

[Nocturnal]

Graffiti Grace?

 

[FigJam]

Griff Graff (like Riff Raff...!)

 

[Thistle]

Gracious, or Grateful in her name somewhere?

You at Oasby on Sat?

As grace in greek in Carissa how about Carissa du Grafen. Sounds posh and pretty?

Gracious Grafter
Graffiti artist

Yeah, you can tell why my horses have boring names!

 

[kerilli]

Graffinity.
Which I think is really nice and elegant and suits a mare. Best I can do!

 

[Baggybreeches]

Posh Pony?
I know it has neither of the required attributes, but you can see why I don't have any more creatures, it just wouldn't be fair to have a posh pony with a rubbish name.

 

[HotToTrot]

You need to check the BE website before you send off for her passport and make sure nothing's already got your proposed name, otherwise you could end up with billions of suffixes!

No-one has suggested Amazing Grace!

 

[missparis]

Griff Graff (like Riff Raff...!)

Graffinity.
Which I think is really nice and elegant and suits a mare. Best I can do!

I like both of the above suggestions

 

[Avonbrook]

Grifter?

They do need a delicate touch.... so I'm told

Grumpy Gert

Ginormous Grace (which would suit if she is anything like the other too!)

Graf-licious

Gracefully Sober

Gracefully Green

Gazooks its Grace!

 

[H-J]

Baydale Grafaokie (like karaoke!)

 

[meardsall_millie]

How about choosing one of the names you called her yesterday when she didn't want her headcollar on?

 

[Allover]

More Grace than Graft!

Greymore grace.

Stolen Grace

 

[Fahrenheit]

Less Pokey More Graf!

I have trouble naming my foals too!

Mine are known as Grey filly, Kali's foal, Teddy Colt, Slap Head, Cleo, Jalepeno and Painted Black foal, so really I am not going to be much help

Graffendale Less Pokey (this requires perfect dressage poise to carry off, and may get you meanie minus marks from the judge if ever above the bit in your tests!)

Baydale Hokey Pokey - knees up Mother Brown!!!!!!

Worth the Grafft - Coz she's gonna be a winner once trained

Baydale Graffiti - this would work better if she was coloured, any chance she will grow into a skewbald????...

Dirty Gerty - Couldn't resist!

Baydale Fenstolz Flyer - I like this bit of Daddy's name 'Graff' sounds a bit butch for a mare

Gert Big'un - because we all know Baydale likes 'em big

Graffdale Diva - she's a mare after all!

Hhhhhmmmm.....think brain has reached its limits now......ouch..... head hurts.....cake please?....

 

[kit279]

I got stuck on Grafenstoke.

 

[Thistle]

I'm guessing she can't be Baydale anything.

Baydale is the prefix of a now sadly deceased Yorkshire breeder who bred all the Baydale boys (and girls), it isn't BD's own prefix.

 

[Taffyhorse]

Grafter Grace

 

[Tempi]

As grace in greek in Carissa how about Carissa du Grafen. Sounds posh and pretty?

I really like this - my favourite of all the suggestions

 

[D66]

How about
Grafen More Glorious - or even Most Glorious!
you could call her Gloria at home
