Got a 2year Dun Gelding Connemara yesterday and he's come without a name.

He's very cute and cheekie and want a name to suit his personality. Been looking at film characters, he comes from Ireland and my sister (whos pony it is is 1/2 irish) so any nice Irish names or places.

Didnt know picking a name was this tough.

Anyone have any suggestions, many thanks
