murphy is quite common,
as is molly, milly, sam and tommy[know lots of them!]

i rode an amazing horse called verona, pretty name
Rosie and Bailey seem to be very popular, at the last yard there were a few Rosie's (I think JJ has a magnetic attraction to them LOL) The was Rosie Rosie, Rosie Mac, Rosie Foot and at one point another Rosie on it's way!!!!
