Terrible names

[ycbm]

Inspired by the name change thread, what are the worst names you've come across for horses?

I think Ludo's is pretty terrible for a spotty horse - Ithon Patch - but the worst I think I ever owned was Vulgaeus Majistralis - try entering a competition with that one and see what the commentator makes of it!

I have a Hairy Mary.

 

[ycbm]

I could like that on the right horse AA

My Connie is Peatapat which is horrible. Previous owner called her Pat the pony?. I call her Piper. I also had one that was Darius on his passport, but he also had a BS passport (which mysteriously went missing) on which his name was Moonlight Silver Spirit. I called him Ted.

 

[Cloball]

No one knew her real name but everyone called her la sofa.

 

[Caol Ila]

My first horse was out of a mare called G Whiz and by a stallion called Mr. Magoo. Ouch.

Dale the Clydesdale and Arab the Arab x were pretty bad. Same stable.

I like Ludo as a name but I have bad taste ?

 

[rabatsa]

Many many years ago when I was in the Pony Club, we went round a large thoroughbred stud. They were standing a stallion called Malicious.

I once viewed a horse with a passport name of Cornish Midden ?

Since I named him, I don't know quite how to take that ?

Well that's the winner so far for me.

That's not nice.

I had a mare by a stallion called Ginger Dick once, snigger.

I did mean it as a compliment but a lot of people don't appreciate names with a bit of a joke in them!!

 

[ArklePig]

I once named a foal Hermione which a lot of people thought was awful for a connemara (it is) but in my defence I was about 11.

Sold her as a 3 yo I think and I often wonder if her name was kept.

You say Ludo is a terrible name for a spotty horse, I think of this Ludo and feel confused -

and it takes me a moment to realise that I'm thinking of the wrong Ludo.

My Appy is called Pinky. Passport name Euphoria. Out of a mare called Irish Twinkle who was known as Purdy. All terrible names!!!

I think it's a fabulous name. My friend suggested it and I loved it immediately. It's Ithon Patch, when he's spotty not patchy, that I think is dreadful, though I believe one of the 101 Dalmations was called Patch. Your Ludo at least has a lovely look in his eyes ?

Pinky would work for a lot of appys I've met when they get wet.

That's not nice.

I had a mare by a stallion called Ginger Dick once, snigger.

He was gorgeous, a mahogany chestnut and a lovely personality.

 

[Peglo]

As in other thread some one I know NAMED their horse Yolo! He is stunning too. I really dislike!

my TB’s race name is Street Walker which I thought was cool until I realised what it’s slang for….

 

[Rowreach]

A friend of mine had a point to pointer called Carving Knife at the same time as I had one called Lethal Weapon. People gave us a wide berth out qualifying as they were both sharp ?

 

[teddy_]

My horse is called 'Poy' presumably because his sire is 'Sepoy'... Uninspiring and unimaginative... ?

 

[ycbm]

My mare took right after him, then. He was leading BE sire that year, I recall.

Haha yes she goes see through when she's wet!

Obviously working in racing you see quite a lot of weird names. One that is racing now and I truly don't understand just how or why they were allowed the name is beyond me - Pakie's Dream.

I can only hope the owner of called Pakie, and preferably pronounced paykey, otherwise, where were their brains when they let that one through?

Pheasant Plucker used to run years ago, didn't he?

[iknowmyvalue]

My first pony was passported as Razor Ruddock! named after an Irish footballer I think, but still a pretty terrible name for a pony!

 

[Greylegs]

I once knew a fellow livery who had two horses. A coloured cob called Cobby and a grey warmblood gelding called Greyboy ... really put some thought into those !!!

 

[asmp]

The worse name I heard was 3D, which sounded like VD over the tannoy

 

[Shooting Star]

Several years ago I viewed one with the passport name of Tx

Not Tex which I could probably go with but just Tx!
