Name help!

[Izzymyers]

Hi all! I have just bought a 5 year old mare and need some inspiration for her name! Her name is Octavia but I’m trying to think of a shorter cute nickname I could call her! Or even a fancy show name, her dad is called Avia and her mum Top Totty
Thank you!

Congratulations on the new horse and welcome to the forum!

We do like a photo of a new horse on HHO

At 5 I wouldn't be changing a name to much, generally names sort of naturally evolve as you get to know the horse. So you may well naturally find yourself calling her OT or Tav or Via/Vera/V or something along those lines. What has she been called at her current yard/owner?

Welcome to the forum.

I'd probably shorten it to Tav/Tavi.

 

[WuzzBred]

Oti

 

[MuddyMonster]

Tavvy/Tavvi would be my choice!

Good luck with your new girl
