Also, there seem to be a huge number of palominos called Candy! I only know as I was helping a member here trace her old mare Candy, and loads of people told us of palomino Candys, sadly none of whom were hers. :( I knew a palomino Candy myself many years ago too.

I have Riva, Lulu, Jazmyn, Elspeth, Izzy, Maud and Harold. I also had Minnie and Ebony who are now in horsey heaven. Some I named, some already had their name.

Some names that I've known more than one of...Brandy, Misty, Velvet, Tilly, Bonnie, Charlie, Bobby, Puzzle, Jigsaw, Ellie, Tommy, Pepper, Rosie, Sam, Ruby, Copper, Domino, Megan, Lucky, Molly...
 
Have known a T-rex full name being Tyrannosaurus .... he had a very large head.

My favourite names are probably Zeus, Marko, Pablo, Doogle and Luna :-)
 
Last post was names I've heard a lot of... thought I'd include my favourites, too!
Saphira
Shirocco/ Rocco
Bryn
Ky
^ I think those are all quite original and rather uncommon (except maybe Shirocco!)
Also Diesel, which is quite cool, and a cute one: Monkey! Doesn't suit every horse tho :P
 
I've known a few called Rebel, Apache, Blondie, Sailor, Jack, Freckles, Bonnie.
Mine are Harley (Harlequin), Sprite, Chance and Precious :-/
 
If we are talking stable names, we have:
Flippa, Harvey, Danish, BeeBee, Mabel, Melody, Rosie, Smokey, Honey, Gracie and Vinnie. They all have their posh names that are fairly original, though.
I've also ridden for people multiple Paddies, Roses, Darcys and so on :)
 
I have met lots of Monty horses including my own.

Other names I seem to always meet are:
Sam
Ted
Tilly
Milly
Lady
Paddy
Sally
Lucy
Merlin
Jester

I have never met another Zoom though!! :D
 
Favourite names: Dante, Romeo, Arizona, Mr Darcy. Would love one of these!
I know lots of baileys, henrys, merlin and rosies. Favourite horse as a kid was Toby and my sister rode a skewbald called Bambi which I thought was cute. My own have been Milieu (pretty much a one off I reckon except for his sire who the stable name came from) and Deano - most people assume this is spelt Dino which I think is more common (Hovis' lost friend Hot Stepper was one I think) I nearly bought a Red and one of my favourite things about him was his name!

I've met a Murphy, Honey and Flicka. Others have been Paddy, Sinbad, Holly, Prince, Bertie, Misty, Tommy, Bella etc.

Favourites have to be; Brego, Uraeus, Jasper.. struggling to think of a favourite mares name.. :/
 
I don't think anybody should ever be allowed to name a dog or a horse, Molly! For goodness sake aren't there enough other names to choose from?

Common ones for me have been Minty, Goldie, Sam, Jasper.
 
It's interesting how names have changed over the years and become more human. When I was a kid they were called things like Caramel, Fudge, Toffee, Flame, Amber, Cracker, Pepper, Flash, Goldie etc but now Tom, William, Billy, Ted .... seem more popular. One of my favourites is Doris we had a Doris at our yard and she is the most beautiful horse but her name makes me chuckle.
