Great Chivalry - it was his racing name, they always give them names associated with power/speed/money in Hong Kong; his stable name is Chivy, pronounced "Shivy"
Don't have a horse these days, but when I did his show name was Elegant Chaos and stable name Marley. Ashamed to say (as it's bad luck) that I changed it - I couldn't have a horse called "Wadgers End" or "Wadge" for short...imagine shouting that across the field.
Favourite I've heard is one we had on the yard called "Faerie Liquid", stable name "Squirt".

I hadn't thought of overflo before!! that's really funny!!
Yes - my Flo is really really laid back too! Must be the name that has done it!! I always joke with my farrier about how wild she is having her feet done - I usually leave her with her rope over her neck while he is doing her feet - not bad for a baby!
I am keeping my fingers crossed that she will stay so calm and laid back when time comes to start backing!!!
