silly horse names

We have a few, as the yo/ owner cant give a horse a name thats EVER been used for another of her animals, thinks its bad luck!
Onion
Quackers
Funny
Nobby no tail
Baby
Black mare

There are more if i have a think ill let you know!
 
My first pony was called Windrush as he was very farty! A local showjumper has a horse called Windows - apparently the dealer he bought it from names his horses after different things each year, one year it was food and the year of that horse it was car parts.
 
I bought one called Daisy

I soon changed it, she wasn't even a coloured, so no idea where it came from. Have a friend with a pony called Jelly.
 
Windrush hehe i like it!
I have a horse called james (not a v good horse name imo, but it kinda suits him) - his proper name is Heriot, so thought it was amusing to call him James Heriot (i am a vet student too, so was fate i think!)
Also had one called Bang On Time (Banger) as he was born on the day he was due!
 
Ive never managed to name an animal sensibly!

I had 2 rabbits - Bun and Edam (because she was dutch!)
The guinea pigs - Bacon and Egg (Egg was white wth a round yellow mark on his back like a fried egg)
My dogs are called Nemo and Piglet - Nemo named after the Fish and Piglet because, firstly its also a Disney character and 2ndly because she was the runt of the litter and born with a broken curly tail!

I had a horse called Dennis and another called James! Current horse is Robespier - Polish name, not that silly really!
 
None of them are horses I'm afraid but i've had my fair share of other silly names:
2 Guinea Pigs - Whisky and Gin (I was only 5 so a bit worrying I spose!)
2 Cats - Marmite and Pudding

At the moment I've got 2 rats, one called Ralph and the other is Sh*tty (named by my boyfriend as he pooped on him when we first got them!)
 
QR silly names for horses I have known and loved


Saucepan
Frank
Shergar (hairy, stubby shetland)
Del Boy & Rodney
Doris
Fatso (changed to 'Bracken', sadly)

We had two GSDs named Sweeney and Regan after the TV show, who ended up procreating!!!
 
first pony i ever road was a shetland called Smoky Bacon...i guess someone really liked that brand of crisps
 
our first ratties were called Splinter - after Master Splinter the sensei in Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (well the kids were young at the time..) and Splat - well that's a bit more obvious, Splat the Rat!! They were the cutest, cuddliest ratties ever!

Horses - Donkey, cos she could be a right one on occasions! Barry, used to be Marvin because he was always starvin' but then got a bit plump and looked as if he'd eaten all the pies!
Can't say about Ben's nickname cos I'd get into trouble

My boy's posh name is Callmesometime which I think makes him sound like he should be standing under a red light on a street corner and advertising his services in 'phone boxes....

Our dog was called Booze when we first got her as a 2yo... swiftly changed to Suzi as my Mum refused to take her out and let her off the lead meaning she would have to satnd and shout "Booze!!"

Probably the silliest horse name we had was Prune. Only when he was called prune would he stay sound - sounds odd - but completely true. As a tribute to his stable name, his posh name was California Sunsweet!!

a 13,2 pony called Dick was the worst iv heard iv come across yet..my friends loaned him as they heard he was quiet and a great schoolmaster...but they change the name to Dominic because they were mortified when they heard one of the kids telling someone that X was teaching them to ride Dick!...or maybe it was just our terrible teenage minds that made it seem so much worse.. seriously tho who calls a kids pony Dick!hell who calls any horse that!
