Horse Names

[goussberry]

Hi guys,

I'm just about to buy a chestnut mare, she's currently called Laine (pronounced laney), but I'm not super keen on the name. Any suggestions or names which jump out at you based on the pics? (Please no "self-fulfilling" names, like Orange, Pumpkin, Ginger etc)

Thanks in advance! Hopefully the following links work

What's her registered name? When I bought my boy I hated his original name. Looked at his registered one and renamed him from that.

Her registered name is By Lane Rose. That's where they got Laine from, and I was toying with Rosie/Rose, but it's so over-used already.

Haha! Nothing to be sorry for the more I struggle to come up with a name that I think suits her looks/her personality, the more Laine grows on me I was also toying with Lady/Lola

How about Lacey or Lady? Or Rosa, which is slightly different from Rose. Have fun with her

I like Rose....although biased as I named my daughter that xD

Literally no idea why but Piper popped into my head when I saw her photo.

I think you'll get used to her name! It is nice. Unfortunately for me, I stupidly subscribe to the, 'bad luck to change a horse's name' superstition so I was stuck with 'Lewis' when I bought my gelding. I hated it at first, but it's grown on me and now it just seems to suit him

Having said that, I've always liked the names Lyric, Rosetti (after the poet), Astrid, Anthem, Rosa and Roamer

Oh really? I've not heard about that superstition! I'm usually too unoriginal to change names

Lewis is a lovely name for a horse! Very Royal

Thank you for the options tho!

 

[goussberry]

Thanks all! Laine has proved surprisingly popular it is unique I'll give it that it will be between Laine and Rosie - I'll check see if my yard already has a Rosie and if it does then I'll stick with Laine

I thought it was just if you changed a horses registered name? I don't believe in either but I know people who believe you shouldn't change a horses registered name or its bad luck.

If it helps my horse is called Chester which I'm not keen on but he gets called pops all the time. No idea why it just started as Chester pops and then pops just stuck!

I knew a chestnut mare called Rainey - always thought that was a lovely name. And sort of half way between Laine and Rosie?!
