Have a foalie due in the spring and need names for colt and filly. Mum is Polly Flinders and Dad Tiny Tim, so something from a nursery rhyme or Dickens might be ideal?

My favourite Grand Old Duke of York but a bit of a mouthfull!

Any ideas? Oh, and not Humpty Dumpty as a friend "helpfully" suggested - couldn't sell that one to the kids!
 
Little Jack Horner
Sweet prince
Jack Spratt
Simple Simon....lol

Little bo peep
Miss Muffet

there must be loads, it's just my mind has gone blank....doh
 
ooh, Oliver, Fagin, Ebenezer, Copperfield, Miss muffet, Lucy Locket, Peter peter pumpkin eater, Grand old duke of york, Jack be Nimble, jack sprat, Tommy tucker, Little boy blue, Doctor Foster.
 
yanky doodle aka doodle
pip... from great expectations by dickens
twinkle or star ...the nursery rhyme
incy...spider nursery rhyme
jack/jill....(knew a half brother and sister welsh sec a called that lol)
don't know whether you alredy thought of those if not hope it helps
 
Thanks - a great help! Most of them just hadn't occurred to me and I like a lot. Jack Sprat is good (we had one pony red'g as Jack Snip because the SJAI got the bird's name wrong and put that instead of Jack Snipe!) and Doctor Foster. Let's hope it's a colt in that case!

Any others gratefully received! Off to check the BSJA website to see which ones have been used before for small ponies!
 
There's:
Polly put the kettle on
Mother Hubbard...(urgh)
Hey diddle diddle
