New Horse has arrived!!! Name suggestions please!!

[NewHeights_SJ]

The mare i was interested in passed the vetting yesterday and now we have her home!! She is 16.1 (although i think she's bigger) WB mare, 6 yr old, well bred with some lovely jumping lines... my little project for the winter. Her passported name is "Volien" but as yet she doesnt have a stable name. A couple of suggestions have been: 'Oli' (as its in her name) "Vi" or something completely unrelated like "Lilly"... im gravitating towards Oli, but my OH says i can't name her that because 'its a boys name'

So any suggestions welcome.


Some pics:

I'm for Lily - and it DOES relate to her name voLIEN ----Lily.
IMO!

 

[Springs]

Hi, I'd go for Vicky

 

[KatB]

Livvy

She is very smart, look forward to watching her progress!!

We had a filly foal and called her Ollie (the second part of her Sunday name was Aureole - golden glow) and she always suited it.

 

[jules89]

yeah livvy
ill have her in the spring! hehe she looks a lovely sort, and good feet too by the pic

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

im still liking Oli - tell James it was my name idea!

I will limit his wine intake at the next show if he still says its a boys name!!

OR cal her Olivia ( for James sake ) but just call her Oli and tell him its for short!

 

[Scribbles]

Violet?

And then you could wear all purple stuff

I've no problems with boys names for girls. Tell OH it's unisex like Lesley or Lindsey! Another example - Mel shortened from Melanie, nobody queries that one. Both my cats are girls and they both have boys names (Jasper and Murphy) just tell him it's the 'in' thing to do!
