Horses with human names?

Mine's called Robbie, his real name is nyrobi. I was sorry he had a name, as I wanted to call him sad ken; being an Arab it's the most inappropriate name I could think of.
 
My horse is called Albert. Alberto when he's feeling exotic :D

I also know a Bob, Ginny, Penny, Tara, Rita, Carlotta, Hugo, Fred, Gemma, Jemma, Dylan, Harry x 4, Barney, Bertie, Simon, Eric, Erica, Ethel, Daisy, Alfie, Florence, Timmy, Malcolm, Cheryl, Carlos, Julio, Freda, Sinbad, Delilah, Rosie, Molly, Holly, Walter, Ruby, Toby x 6, Nigel, Alfie, Derek, Ryan, Craig, Mr Sherman, Mr Darcy, Mrs Whitaker (a little shetland with a passion for jumping!), Jamelia, Jezebel, Juan, Pope Benedict (Benny for short), Ronnie, Charlie, Isaac x2, and Hezekiah.

I love human names for animals :D My dog is called Edward and I used to have a hamster called Sidney :D
 
I got my mare as a 4 year old from a dealer - just off the boat from Ireland. So I wanted an Irish name for her and chose Aisling (pronounced Ashlene). It means 'dream' in Irish apparently. She's grey, so I thought at the time I could shorten it to 'Ash'. This never happened and she's stayed Ashlene - or sometimes Lene!
 
I mentioned my mare in another post about horses with ridiculous names. She's called dyllis. She was very dithery when we bought her so she got the nickname dithering dyllis, and it kind of stuck hehe. It does suit her though :)

These are all great names...maybe Joyce and Stacey are questionable :p;)

How very dare you! :eek::o:D

Honestly no idea what was going through the previous owner's head when she chose it. The only upside to it is that Stacy does seem to be unique as a horse name at least! It does mean though if I ever get a gelding who needs naming I would be highly tempted to call it Gavin :D:cool:;)

All the talk of Daves a few pages back reminds me of a time I rode in the US - the horse I rode was a Peruvian Paso called Dave. The instructor rode his full brother who was called Cory. Cory :eek::eek::eek:
 
RS I used to work at had a Brian, I'm sorry but Brian is just not a horse's name :o he was the sweetest thing too, but not a Brian lol!
 
I called mine Sidney, after Sidney Bailey, the remarkable huntsman of the VWH whilst I was growing up. Sidney is going to be an amazing hunter.
