Variation on a horses name - ideas welcome.

[Fools Motto]

Fingers firmly crossed I may be getting a cob. She will be kept at the yard I work at.
Her name is Gypsy Girl. Nothing wrong with her name, but we've had a Gypsy before.
Gypsy 2 doesn't float my boat, so anything else? My brain isn't on all cylinders today!

GG?

Tipsy

How would you feel about shortening it to Gyp?
I wouldn't actually worry if you haven't got the original Gypsy any longer but I do understand how difficult it can be - we had two with short, rhyming names, only the initial was different. We had had one for over 15 yrs and the other was in her teens and this was the name on her passport, that she was called by, so neither could be changed.
Years ago we bought a driving pony who was called by the same shortened name as one of our others, we shortened her name differently but actually found ourselves calling her by a nickname for most of the rest of her life.

Bridget.

 

[Cowpony]

Siggy - last syllable of gypsy and first of girl

 

[Jo1987]

Jinty? I knew a Jinty years ago, she was a lovely dependable type with an impressive turn of speed!

Tipsy

I like Tipsy. I've also got a soft spot for Topsy, also pretty close.

I've just swapped a Soli for Salty which is close enough for me to not be funny about changing it

What about Gypsy Girl in a another language? Have done this with two horses in the past to give a different spin on their names.

I was going to suggest what girl was in Romani but apparently it's "chavi"

Other suggestions

Romani
Bella - beautiful
Nina - Spanish for girl
Flicka - Also girl
Nina Bonita - pretty girl
Jolie fille - French for pretty girl
Molly
Milly

Roma, mipsey,

 

[Colivet]

What about Didi (pronounced deedee) short for Didikai which is romany for gypsy friend

 

[Sleipnir]

Ringla - it's a character from a local (to me) kids book "Ringla, the Gypsy girl"

 

[AlohaCob]

I kind of like GG best of the suggestions so far. Good luck with the new cob!

 

[Fools Motto]

GG it will be. How do you put photos on here now?

 

[Fairynuff]

Zingara. Italian for Gypsy.

 

[MissGee]

I too have a GG - good name ;-)

GG it will be. How do you put photos on here now?

Oh, Am I'm too late with my suggestions of Vera or Gertrude? I think Vera is a splendid name for a horse, particularly a gypsy cob and Gertie would be a close second.
