My toddler wants to name his new mini Shetland mare 'Kevin' HELP

[Wildfox]

Collecting our new pony tomorrow. A tiny miniature coloured mare, who currently has no name. She is passported as 'Ponette deux' because she was the second pony to be passported that day, apparently they were all passported that way but with 'trois, quarter, cinq' etc...

So, I asked my dear son what he would like to call her.

Son's response: KEVIIIIN!

I did try to explain that, she was a girl, but I got a death stare in return, and I'm drawing a bit of a blank with names.

I was hoping I might get some ideas here that I can suggest to him. The little mare is the sassiest little thing I've ever met, so something different to match her larger than life attitude and that's fun and quirky enough too.

OR... do we just go ahead and name her Kevin?

LOL!!! I don't think you have any choice!

Maybe you could gradually change it to Evyn or Erin or something that sounds a little more feminine.

I'd call her Kevin

LOL my son wants to call every pet we get 'Poppy' and or 'Suzi'.

We now have 2 guinea pigs and 6 chickens called either Poppy or Suzi. No idea why he likes the names!

You could use 'Kevin' as the stable name and have something else as her show name? Kevinna ?

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Sorry no help but 😂😂😂😂😂 can we have pictures of Kevin please 😇😇

 

[Amye]

I think she *needs* to be called Kevin.........

 

[ihatework]

I reckon Kevin will stick!!

Slightly better than 'Stevie Wonder' which is what my 4yo nephew names everything

 

[RubysGold]

Kevin is an awesome name haha
Pictures are needed

 

[hollyandivy123]

we use to have an exmoor gelding called Florence so Kevin is fine

 

[SadKen]

The bird in Up! is a girl and she's called Kevin. A precedent has been set. Call her Kevin, it's an excellent talking point.

 

[Wildfox]

Oh god, so, it looks like she might be a Kevin then...! Pahaha, I'm going to have an interesting time explaining that to people

I'll post some pictures of her tomorrow, I actually didn't take any when we went to see her!

 

[milliepops]

yep stick with Kevin. I named our tom cat Belinda when i was a toddler

 

[LeannePip]

I'd go for Kevin too!

 

[Wildfox]

Oh you know, we just watched 'up' the other day, I wonder if that's where he got the idea! 😂

I named my (female) cat Oscar when I was a kid. I knew she was a girl but I was determined to have a cat called Oscar so there was no discussion. She was my cat and that's what I was calling her. I wasn't even a toddler, I was 10

 

[Sophire]

I think it has to be Kevin now!!

 

[Wildfox]

Well, Kevin it is! ��

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

That's fine Kevin is far better than some of the names I occasionally call my 2 mini Shetlands:redface3:
Elleskywalker on here has a lovely shettie mare called Nev

 

[Bubblewrap]

Kevina!

 

[Corbie]

Bribe with ice cream and sweets, then give 'a choice' of names from a list that YOU have compiled. In that way your toddler still feels he got to choose....?!!

 

[PorkChop]

Nothing wrong with Kevin

When my daughters were little they named one of ours Sugarplum Fairy bearing in mind she was a very stocky and stout cob

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

My son wanted to call one of ours Gate. I said no! I told him what she was going to be called after using the letters in her registered name to make one. Compromise and call her Keri.

 

[Lizziehorselover]

Kevin is a great name!!

 

[turnbuckle]

Run with it. TG is quite the thing, you know....

Actually, I used to know a TG dog. Or bitch to be precise. Or dog. Hard to know which way round really. In any case, it was a dog in a bitches body!

 

[rhylis]

Kevin is a great name!
My brother let my nephew name their new chicken and he chose Happy Tulip for some bizarre reason known only to himself. You may have got off lightly with Kevin!

 

[Lammy]

Name her Kelvin and you can get away with calling her Kelly for short?

 

[Wildfox]

LOL! I'm loving all these names everyone's animals are stuck with

 

[Wildfox]

He's just back from crèche so I've asked him again what he would like to name her and he said 'Keviiiin cause she's cheeky'... (the logic of a a two year old)

I can work with cheeky Kevin - CK for short?

I know someone who bought an absolute saint of a pony. Totally 110% trustworthy with any tot.. but, poor lad, he had to be the ugliest pony ever seen. He got saddled (excuse pun) with the name 'Beautiful Amanda' and they were forever the laughing stock in showing classes!

Tis true, my shetland is called Neville. She def a girl, had a foal and everything. It suits her

Nev will be delighted to hear of another cool named mini pony
