Miseria was my boy's name when I got him!
Translation from Spanish: Misery !
So changed to Miz as couldn't stand it! And we put his show name as Pardito as roughly translates as little dun. Had some fun will looking into spanish words as he came from Argentina
My mare is called Phoebe and I must say it suits her as she's a warmblood cross so like her namesake from friends sometimes shes sweet and calm but then other times she's dippy and as nutty as a fruitcake!!!! But we love her either way!
My two are Tommy aka Touchwood Hot Opposition (as a nod to Grandaddy who is Fleetwater Opposition) and Bradley who is Touchwood Hot Spice. Full brothers and I didn't choose either name but it suits them both!
both mine came with theirs.... O.B (also been called by old owners rocco or oliver/olly) (showname Oberland) but i call him ob da n0b and Ebony (showname ebony iv) so just shortened to ebs

Looks like a lot when you put it like that!Though the 4 2011 foals are on there way into the big wide world over the next couple of weeks (and we'll be replacing them with 2 more )
I've got Mysti which I lengthened slightly to Mysterious as you can never quite understand what's going on in her head her showname is Twyford Tangle.
Honey just came as honey! So smartened it up for shows to Queen bee
I bought a coloured seven years ago called Oscar. At the time my youngest sister was only 5 and had a lisp and pronounced it "Oshk" which has always stuck, I mostly call him Dusnoshk!
Joseph was named after he arrived one Christmas.
OHs chestnut pointers are Boycey (byways boy) and Civil (civil gent)
Jerry came as one of a pair, the other being Tom, who didn't stay with him!
Our mare is Chloe, she's always been Chloe, doesn't have a show name and is Chloe on her passport. She gets called Chloekins, Cluckles, Chlo Bo and also Madam Min
at the riding centre I work at we have:
Vinney, Simba, Lizzie, Lotty, Jack, Emma, Poppet, Mr Darcy (Mr D for short), Hatty, William and Daniel, Charlie, Buttons and Jimmy... most of ours are human names haha!
Cambrica shaylee a.k.a shay - named her (Cambrica Latin for a welsh poppy, her mum is called poppy and shaylee is a gaelic fairy princess of the field! Ha got that one wrong )
Parc roberto a.k.a Bear
Popsicle or poppy
Peggy (poor thing) ex traveller cob
Jade (the prissy one)
My pony's name is Swift and show name...Swift although he's sometimes known as Swifty, bf also nicknamed him hairy delight I didn't pick it but it certainly suits him
He came with his stable name Apollo, which suits him to the ground. I chose his show name, Coincidence A, as he came to me through a scarily random series of chance happenings.
Perky - didnt name him, but god does it suit him , he's shown me when my mares are in season, need i say more !!
Asha - didnt name her
Harry - hes Asha's son. Suits him. Never came up with a show name
Aria - latest baby - Asha's daughter suits her shes elegant and pretty. Thinking of a show name of Royal Song ( her dad is Royaldik)
Mirren - Hubby is fascinated with William wallace, and we named her after WW wife.
Gracie - as another quoted - shes renamed Disgraceful when naughty. Had to pick a name with G, and she does have lovely paces. Her show name is Graceful for Ever - Her mum is Ever quick
Ever - didnt name her, but like it
Best name we ever had was first pony - Twizzles. love it.
