We try to pick "different" ones.

Asti is Aston Perdita on her passport. Asti for short as her mum is called Martini. I named her.

Byter was already nicknamed that but as "Biter" because she was quite nibbly when she was a foal. Gail is superstitious and wouldn't change it so we just changed the spelling. She's officially Bittersweet Suprise.

Ivy is Ivy House Starlight Express but we though Ivy was a pretty name. Ivy house is the place her Daddy lives, and her prothers have Ivy house prefixes (But not the Welsh Ivy House Prefix).

For popular names:-

several Jacks and Jacko's
Milly
Ella/Ellie
Murphy
Star
Smartie
Rupert
Harvey

Oh and know an Aragorn and Frodo - guess LOTR is a bit popular!

 

[Halfstep]

Toby
Paddy
Poppy
Ben
Sonic (mares and geldings)

Most unusual names: I once knew a horse called Catherine......
Aeschylus: used to drive judges mad cause no one could pronounce it properly!

we used to have a racehorse called Frank The Swank, some of you may know him as he went on to do 4* with Matt Ryan. also used to ride a colt called Curve - ended up being called Purve. there are loads of racehorses with daft names. most common are harry and bob, weve had quite a few of those over the years.

 

[Troggy]

Toffee!! We weren't the only Toffee at the last show we went to which was annoying! Other one also, suprisingly, chesnut!
