Really, really wrong horse names...

Del boy. Rodney. Pink pig . Denzil. Special. Gloria. Pudding. Ginger pudding. Oh yes & FANNY (fantastic light) also had roo chop & basky babe I always think its unlucky to change names oh nearly forgot fats!!!!
 
Gary and Nigel.
Two dapple grey half brothers that are impossible to tell apart until you look at their brands. :)

Garry gets Gazza a lot... It sounds a lot more Bogan... Oh and on a related note - one of the worst/best stud brands I have ever seen is 5EX. I almost choked when I saw it :)
 
It's lovely going down memory lane remembering the silly names.
Just remembered Big Bird & what's worse is I named her. Massive black filly TB & then there was Seth, which actually is cool to me but probably quite numpty to others.
 
I knew someone who had a stunning arab stallion called Nigel.

I think my pony's name, Kenny, is bad enough. We shortened it to Kes.

Camilla - sorry to Camillas out there but it was just not right bellowing that across a field.

You're right- that is a crappy name to be shouted out in public any where! I dislike the nam Milly as a dogs name. I always get gumpy when someone yells "MILLY, GET ON YOUR BED!" or my personal fave "MILLY, COME BACK HERE YOU STUPID DOG!"

Camilla (aka Milly)
 
my big girls stable name is michelle:o it is never used, she is shellee various nicknames. one of the foals born at the stud the same year as one of mine was a Jason:eek:
friend has a nobby, and the stables i rode at had a knobby, poor boys! oddest name ever was Kleenex, little grey welshie. there was also a shetland called tuppence who could be relied on to provide some name amusement:)

That's what I wondered when I got my boy's passport.

He's known as Bob, and his sire has Bob in his name, so I assumed he was going to be *something* Bob, or Bob *something*. Got a bit of a shock...:o

I have a Bob and she's a mare :eek: Her sire is Bob Back and most of his offspring are Bob something.... I often ask her what it was like growing up on the stud with a load of brown horses all called Bob - she just blinks at me :)

Someone on here I think posted about a horse called Heathcliff, shouting over the fields to him and hearing someone call "Cathy" in response. Always makes me smile ;)
 
I went trekking in the lakes as a teen and remember being asked my ability, so I told them I was pretty competent, to then hear 'colours?' with a questioning tone - just as I was about to reply 'I don't care what colour it is' I was ushered out and slung up onto a...you guessed it...skewbald! Worst.name.ever.

My dog narrowly escaped being named 'Didier Dogba' - can you guess what football team OH supports?! :D
 
I knew a Kevin once (kev the cob!) Also a pony who came to the riding school once was called Squirt- little bit strange! Have also known a huge 17hh+ top level dressage horse called Betsy :) Thought the name was more suited to a little pony!
 
on our yard we have had...

Kenny
Kevin
Stan
Polly
Kerwin
Simon
Nick
Arnie
Kylie
Ashley
Dave

It seems our yard attracts horses with human names....

Our Kevin was a big ex-racehorse, the name actually really suited him!
 
Well we had a Duncan, have a David, Horace and Geert (but he is a Friesian and am told it's like calling your horse Bob). Like others I rather like these names, oh and my dogs are called Robert and Bill.

I've known several horses with odd names. Just too 'human'...
Emma, Kim, Neville, Melanie, Jackie, Kate, Robert, Donna and Debbie to name a few. Makes me wonder really - who looks at a lovely little foal and decides to call it Robert??! Its like folk who have a tiny brand new baby and decide to give it a really grown up sounding name, something like Derek, or Wayne. There are no words.

My 12wk old baby is called Albert - is that wrong, but we call him baby Bertie, it suits him and we get a lot of comments about how cute it is.

We have a dog called Betty and a horse called Bill, had an ILPH pony called Denise. I would love a horse called Steve or Alan. Our big cob Almera (from Poland - not sure if they have the Nissan cars out there). The rest of ours have always had very humdrum names - Flicka, Honey, Teddy and Rags
 
I had a horse who was originally called "David" (which is my other halfs name funnily enough) but luckily they changed it. Strange thing was that the horse in question had a really fancy show name!
