Naming conventions

[Nocturnal]

Can anyone tell me about the conventions around using suffixes/prefixes when picking a passport name? Still haven’t chosen Yoshi’s

His sire was Diamond de Reve, and grand sire Hermes de Reve. I love the idea of ‘Coer de Reve’ for yoshi but don’t know much about naming conventions / etiquette.

I’ve done a google and can’t see that ‘de Reve’ belongs to a particular stud - is it open season on using such suffixes?

To use a prefix/suffix you need to register it first.

Coeur, surely?
Heart of dreams in English, if you don’t want to mess with registrations

Yes, with the Central Prefix Register, then also with specific breed society, if any.
I have my prefix registered with the CPR and with 3 breed societies.

Haras Des Reves is a well known stud in France, and naming your foal ‘de Reve’ would imply that it was bred there.
So better not to!

I can't comment on the rules for registration for prefixes/suffixes, but I'm inclined to think that "de Reve" in this instance doesn't actually constitute a suffix. It is very common to name a horse including some part of either the sire's or dam's name, or something from further back in the breeding. For example: Sire, King of Diamonds - Dam, Golden Flight - Progeny, Diamond Flight. This not only honours the bloodlines, but also gives potential buyers a clue to their breeding without claiming it was bred by a particular stud.

Thanks all, prob best to avoid it, all things considered. The search goes on

You cannot use a stud suffix unless the horse was bred there.

Maybe translate to English one of those? They couldn’t object to that surely!
