Name ideas for chestnut filly?

[Nasicus]

For a play on Tara, what about Tarla?

Otherwise you've got the good ol' staples for chestnut horses - Amber, Ginger, Tango, Spice

Not being a fan of chestnuts, I tend to call them Ginge (or Minge). Sorry.

I love a ginge, me

Apricot. I knew the most exquisitely pretty chestnut TB filly years ago. Her stable name was Apricot.

 

[nagblagger]

Any update what you are going to call her?

 

[Cherryblossom]

Rua. Means red in Irish

Oooh, I do like this! Will try it out on her tomorrow ?

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions!
I’ve tried out all the suggestions so far and none seem quite right.
The problem is that she is so pretty whereas my Ginger 14.2 is quirky cute so would have suited names such as Jaffa (Jaffa cake) ??
A few of my friends do like “Tara” and said I should stick with that but not convinced.
I do like the “Apricot” suggestion though as she is a pale chestnut ? Going to try that out tomorrow?

Clémence.

It's a French girl's name and literally means "mercy, pardon, forgiveness, kindness".

The link to the chestnut colour is that the main brand of chestnut paste over here is sold under the name Clément Faugier.

 

[Clarabel]

Clementine the fruit,clemie!

 

[Laurac13]

Peaches ? maybe?
Or Honey if she is pale orange ?

 

[millikins]

It may be a colloquialism from my part of the country but I've heard "Jaffa" used as a derogatory term for infertile or impotent men. Jaffa = seedless Apologies to anyone with a much loved pet called Jaffa.

Burnie or bernie
Burnished is an alternative word for chestnut

 

[LadyGascoyne]

I love Apricot but how will you shorten it?

 

[vhf]

I think Tara mean Irish Princess... so Princess, Diva, or something along that theme depending on personality since it's what you'll be calling her in private?!

Or Taboo is an orange coloured spirit?

Or just go with Nonny?

 

[NinjaPony]

Freya: Norse goddess associated with gold

 

[smolmaus]

I also think Tara suits her but you can't help what names you like and don't like!

I like cherryblossoms suggestion of Rua. Would almost certainly become Roo which is very cute imo.

I love those chestnut men with their leafy trousers

 

[ArklePig]

I came to say Rua too! I'll add to @millikins post that I'd never call anything Jaffa in my part of the world as it's a derogatory term for a Protestant. It is a cute name though if no concerns where you are!

 

[ihatework]

I’d just call her Tara, it’s a nice name

Willow?

It's a symbol of fertility and new life, a willow branch can be planted in the ground and from it, a new tree will grow in its place. Its ability to grow and survive is powerfully symbolic and show how we can thrive even in challenging conditions.

Nala
Salsa
Pippi (like Pippi Longstocking)

I agree. Or Non, which is a beautiful Welsh name.
