Oh for Goodness Sake! Help me name this colt...please.

I liked the Icarus suggestion - I think it really suits him!! What a character!

Actually, having said it in my head a few times, it doesn't slip of the tongue very easily! Perhaps you should just call him Sunny

I've got an Icarus! It doesnt slip off your tongue easily, but it really suits my horse.

Heli - as in Helios the sun!

Another vote for Midas or Icarus.

I did like Apple, but i suppose when he's a stunningly beautiful striking grown up boy, Apple is just not going to do him justice. I think Midas and Icarus are suitable names for when he's all grown up and powerful.

Also, surely he's going to be too big to fit in the post soon? I have been saving up some Thorntons for you! The best are some strawberry champagne truffles.

 

[Ranyhyn]

Creep^^

I vote for Midas too. Simple, easy to say, suits him now and would suit a grown up too...

 

[minkymoo]

I like the name 'Irish' totally off the thought of gold, but I think he has a lovely cheeky face and if he was mine (yes please!) that's what I would call him.

I think he is delish!

 

[brighteyes]

Brasso. (Sorry!)

 

[DiablosGold]

I like Inca best, Icarus and Midas are great too

 

[Dirtymare]

Gorgeous gorgeous little boy.
Going along with the Zues theme - hows about Pan or Peter Pan??

 

[somethingorother]

Creep^^

Just coz i got in there first

 

[JadeyyAndLadyy]

Sun God in Greek mythology was called Helios - also referred to as Titan

God of the Desert was Set but also called Seth or Sutekh

I think Titan Suits him

 

[lexiedhb]

He really ought to just be known as "mine"........

 

[silu]

I'd go for Bobbin...as in the red red robin goes bob bob bobbin along. Nice and short and he looks bouncy!

 

[Nic]

Another vote for Midas

 

[Enfys]

He is now officially Apollo 2. Everything else was poo-poo'd. I'll still just call him 'The Colt'

I have been kind of outvoted by everyone who knows him, it suits him better than it suited last years Apollo (now re-named, not by me, Billy Bullet!)

Recent photos in PG shortly, he's getting to be a very big, muscley boy.

He's for sale - at the right price

 

[Hippona]

Thankyou.

Not sure about the colour, he appears to be shedding out darker, foals though, who can tell? I have three palominos and none of them are the same

Humph. Thats just greedy...lets call him mine

We need a first come, first served list!

Full sibling due next year, and this mare (Juno) is also due in March 2011 by Zeus, that should be interesting, bets on it being a chestnut?

 

[ldlp111]

What about Bandit i know not much good

 

[lexiedhb]

Shes very beautiful!

 

[ldlp111]

Or what about Calypso or Calix (means very handsome in greek)

 

[thinlizzy]

Rolex ?
cartier ?

 

[SKY]

if its just a stable name what about, PAL. short for his colour.

 

[little_critter]

I was thinking Eros (like the gold statue in London) - he was the Greek version of Cupid.

 

[SusannaF]

There's a list of horses in Greek mythology here, including the horses that drew Helios's chariot and pulled the sun across the sky. Xanthos is the Greek for "yellow".

 

[sykokat]

Might sound dumb and completely off of the Greek mythology path but he is a beautiful gold colour,,,, what about Sax as in saxaphone?? * creeps away emabarrassed*
