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

Goodness Gracious Me

I really like this and

Baydale Amazing Grace, but obviously the poor little girl has a lot to live up to with that one! The commentators could have a field day!

Agree with Chloe ... Dirty Gerty was the first to spring to my mind.....poor girl! LOL

 

[photo_jo]

WoopisiD - you can't suggest (although obviously you have) Fall from Grace
-kermit coloured stains all round

 

[Baydale]

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)?

Hmmm, I like that but can you imagine how the BE commentators would struggle with it?

 

[Baydale]

Griff Graff (like Riff Raff...!)

I love that, you're on the shortlist for the cake prize.

 

[Baydale]

Grafenpoke(y) - sorry!

That would raise a few eyebrows if nothing else - ooh err, get me with some accidental innuendo!

 

[Baydale]

Graffdale Grace?

But that would confuse me as she's Gertie and her mum is Grace, I might take the wrong one eventing.

 

[Baydale]

Graffiti Grace?

Ditto, and Graffiti Gertie doesn't sound posh enough, does it?

 

[Baydale]

Gracious, or Grateful in her name somewhere?

You at Oasby on Sat?

I like Gracious.

Yep, grooming for Sarah on Marty but not looked at the times yet. Are you?

 

[Baydale]

Just A Little More Poke.

Gracing Us.

Little More Grace.

Lottsa Grace

Oakey Pokey.

All Oakey Pokey

Thanks Sammii, I like Little More Grace, but I'd like to get Graf in there somehow.

 

[Baydale]

Little Miss Graf Tee (crafty)
Fall From Grace

Very good WoopsiiD, just not sure I want to tempt fate with the second one!

 

[Baydale]

Goodness Gracious Me

Good one, T. I do remember a Gracious Me that was Lawrence David Event team many moons ago.

 

[Maesfen]

Alright then, Grafenst(r)oke?

 

[Baydale]

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

I really like that, slimjim, very elegant. Consider yourself shortlisted.

 

[Baydale]

Gracious Grafter
Graffiti artist

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

I like the Grafter bit, it's not easy or obvious to fit Graf in.

 

[andraste]

Well, 'Graf' is used in titles of German nobility so 'Pfalzgraf Grace' would translate as Countess Grace. Is she chestnut by any chance because I think 'Grace Under Fire' is a lovely name.

 

[mattilda]

How about Gorgeous Gertie?

 

[Baydale]

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

Yep, love that one too, it's on the shortlist.

 

[Baydale]

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.

Oh Bb, you disappoint me. I was expecting something of the caliber of "R'Kid" from you.

 

[Baydale]

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!

Will do, HTT, thanks. With my luck Amazing Grace won't be.

 

[SusieT]

Galloping Gertie....

 

[Baydale]

Grifter?

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

Clever, Avonbrook.

 

[Thistle]

How about Gertie Graf, along the lines of a Harry Potter Hippogrif

 

[Baydale]

Grumpy Gert

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

Graf-licious

Gracefully Sober

Gracefully Green

Galway Girl

Gazooks its Grace!

Blimey, only-me, only a student would have time to think of so many!

Grantham Girl doesn't have the same ring as Galway girl, does it?

 

[Fahrenheit]

Graffic Gertie

Graffic Pokey

Graffic Hokey Pokey


Told you I wasn't good at this You do know that Cal ended up being called Cal because his dads name was Cal and he was known as Cal Colt until it eventually got shortened to Cal

 

[Thistle]

Shall be at Oasby from around 10am. Start at 11.50, all done by quarter to 2. Hopefully time to get hope and ride 'Heccythump' before his RC dressage debut on Sun. I've even pulled his mane!

 

[Maesfen]

How about Gertie Graf, along the lines of a Harry Potter Hippogrif

That gets my vote, has a certain ring to it - there wouldn't be another like it!

 

[Baydale]

Baydale Grafaokie (like karaoke!)

I can't use Baydale as it was Mrs F's prefix, and imagine how my dodgy handwriting could make Grafaokie look! You wouldn't want that mis-pronounced.

 

[Baydale]

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

But they didn't start with "G" did they?

 

[Tnavas]

Couldn't resist this - was one of my dads favorite sayings when surprised

Galloping Gertie

 

[Baydale]

More Grace than Graft!

Greymore grace.

Stolen Grace

Or More Graf than Grace even.
