Pictures What would you name this horse?

[SoundTheBugle]

Just a bit of fun ?

This is Duke, he's a 4 yo of unregistered breeding and currently doesn't have a show name. The current plan is to use a Duke Ellington song title as a nod to his stable name with the shortlist:

• Mood Indigo
• Chromatic Love Affair
• Cafe Au Lait
• Coffee Morning
• Ellington 66
• Hollywood Hangover
• Indigo Echoes
• Looking Glass
• Northern Lights
• Rhapsody In Blue
• Take It Easy



Which is your favourite of the shortlist, and what would you call him if he was yours? New ideas are always welcome!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Northern Lights.

I love his belly splash.

 

[Indy]

I like Take it Easy

 

[Meredith]

Duke Ellington had an album called Splash of Colour

 

[Rumtytum]

Northern Lights for me! He’s a lovely boy ?

 

[Wishfilly]

I like Northern Lights, Chromatic Love Affair, and Take it Easy!

 

[teddypops]

Indigo Echoes

 

[milliepops]

Coffee morning for me!

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I like Chromatric Love Affair

 

[MidChristmasCrisis]

Ellington 66

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Chromatic love affair or Hollywood Hangover

 

[rabatsa]

Hollywood Hangover.

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

Ellington 66

I would call him this, too. None of the others describe his colour, although they would be appropriate for some horses.

 

[Bellasophia]

Also Ellington for me.

 

[Merlod]

Hollywood Hangover

 

[EventingMum]

Duke of Earl - showing my age!!

 

[Laurac13]

Duke Ellington had an album called Splash of Colour

This ?

 

[ycbm]

Take it Easy.

I couldn't call him any of the ones with colour in them because he isn't any of those colours.
.

 

[AmyMay]

Ellington 66

 

[Meowy Catkin]

'Take it easy' makes me think of the Eagles song.

 

[buddylove]

Hollywood Hangover

 

[Rowreach]

Ellington 66

Then the Duke relevance is logical ?

 

[Floofball]

Take it easy - he looks like a laid back Duke ??

 

[photo_jo]

Indigo Echoes

There is a stud with the prefix Indigo so perhaps there are better names to use

 

[PapaverFollis]

Coffee Morning or Take it Easy

 

[NightStock]

Dukes of Hazzard?

 

[cauda equina]

Totally off your shortlist -
The Iron Duke, or Wellington
