help with naming new horse

[twisteddiamond]

i have just got this bundle of fluff, an am struggling to give him a name, i cant go on calling him nameless one, so suggestions on a postcard please
he is 4.5 months and to make 14.2+hh, he is pretty evenly marked with quite a bit of feather

Looks cute, bit early to be away from his mother isnt it? I'm no good at naming animals though. hence why my dog is called alfred

Domino
Revel
Jester
Toby
Max


^ A few of the geldings that I've known over the years, I haven't mentioned the ones with silly names though!

Domino is a good one.. or minstrel? Just trying to think of things that are black & white..

One name I do like for cobs is Seamus..don't know why..lol.

Thanks faracat and ginger bear, he is a feisty little soul with a very good scowl on him if he doesn't like the look of someone

 

[Ginger Bear]

If you want something a bit more strong & manly..lol how about:
Warrior
Govenor
Kaiser

Oliver ..... he is a little orphan away from his mum at this age

He looks very sweet, good luck and hope he brings you lots of fun in the future

Completely normal here.

I'm useless at names too, he'd just be called 'The Paint Colt' if he was in my paddocks until something came to mind. This from a person with a barn kitten that has been named Spider Monkey Mohawk (by Boarders, not me) and we have another called Lanky simply because he has long legs

What about the usual Indian type names? Apache, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Cree, Shawnee, Dakota etc, Cayoosh (a derivative of caballo which of course means horse, in Lilloet and Chilcotin it refers to a type of Indian Mountain Pony)

Whole long list of them here:

It will be interesting to see how he grows

Enjoy

Splodge

The one I am dropping off this evening is called Splodge!!!

 

[Annagain]

He looks like a Gordon or a Bert to me. I often take entries for my riding club and I'm desperate to have a Gordon entered into a class. I love old people names for animals. My next animal better look out

For some strange reason I'm thinking Billy, like Billy The Kid, he does look a bit goaty (don't mean that in a nasty way btw) he'll no doubt mature into a big chunky lovely lad, then I'd want to call him Bill.

Good Luck with him.
