Yet another naming thread :P

[HufflyPuffly]

Right well I did read someone likes these threads so here's another one for the great HHO'ers!

New baby pony has got to three with no name and I'm struggling!
Pic's:

And yes I have managed capture at least once

She's a gelderlander x hackney who will hopefully become my next riding horse.

Names we're currently playing with are:
Skylla
Wispa
Bellatrix

and I like Snoopy but feel its a bit boy'ish...

Please help the great and wise HHO'ers as otherwise 'Filly' might stick

[Cowpony]

Smoky?
Dora (as in adorable )

 

[Redders]

Blue?

 

[Jenni_]

if you call her Bellatrix watch she doesn't live up to her name sake!

What about just Trix?

 

[Wagtail]

I think Suki suits her.

 

[saddlesore]

Oh I like snoopy!

 

[joulsey]

Vera!

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Athena
Jamaica
Sylvia
Gossamer
Cairo
Charlotte
Felicity (Filly for short)
Whisper
Caelum

Scylla is an ancient Greek monster- is there something too that? :-D

 

[EquiEquestrian556]

I like Snoopy too! Or Ellie, Essie or Sylvia? Or Sky as she's blueish coloured? Filly also suits her though!

It was me... but only one person answered...

Anywho:

I take it you are looking for a stable name? Or do you need a registered name. If so, who are her sire and dam? For stable names I looked at some Dutch names but they are rather 'hard' sounding so dismissed some, except:

Meisje - girl - pronounced Mice -yeah
Merrieveulen - filly - pronounced Merry - Voil - En, Merrie for short
Tanneke - after the Girl with a Pearl Earring by the Dutch painter, Vemeer
Lea - a river in Hackney
Columbine - the purple aquilegia grows quite well in the Dutch flatlands
Gnishilda - it means 'grey battle maiden' - so perhaps not for the superstitious

 

[HufflyPuffly]

Thanks everyone some good suggestions!

Skylla is suppose to be one of the eight immortal horses that pulled Poseidon's chariot, so a link back to her breeding rather than being a monster .

Jenni_ that is the reason we've hesitated about Bellatrix, might be tempting fate .

Still like Snoopy, but keep them coming everyone!

Don't know her parents names unfortunately but might try and find them out, but yes will need a registered name as well for her!

haha the last might be appropriate , but I'm not sure I could reliably pronounce some of those Dutch names

Gnishilda - with a silent g and like it sounds. Nish is kind of nice for even shorter.

 

[My Muppet]

Oh what a sweetie, I love her. I like wispa.

 

[Dubsie]

How about Philly?

 

[exmoorponyprincess1]

I keep looking back at the pictures and thinking " she looks like a Skye" (spelt like the island and the girls name)...so kind of on your Skylla theme. She's lovely

 

[exmoorponyprincess1]

Double post

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Greta
Freya
Elsa

 

[Sandstone1]

With that breeding she's going to have a very big trot!
Cobweb, storm, blue, Smokey, cloud,Eva Skye.

 

[johnobrien]

belle

 

[JJS]

Freya

I think she looks like a Freya.

 

[oldie48]

We had a Gaelic name for our connie which no-one could pronounce and he was frequently called "the next pony" ridden by....We chose simpler names after that! I love Skylla.

Don't know her parents names unfortunately but might try and find them out, but yes will need a registered name as well for her!

[Toffee44]

She's gonna have a big action (I have a hackney x welsh)

How about :

Pachanga (pacha for short)- a Cuban dance

Luna

Epona- goddess of horses

 

[HufflyPuffly]

Wow thanks everyone some lovely suggestions! I quite like Storm, Freya and Luna .

Though we do keep coming back to Skylla, and I could have a show name based around 'The Sky's the Limit'.....

Argg how d people do this, and omg how do people pick children's names if this is so difficult!

I really like 'The Sky's The Limit'! I'm lucky, I bought my mare two years ago, and as she's a fully registered pure bred New Forest, she already had a registered/ show name, and a stable name too. Thankfully they both suit her though We have an unregistered Welsh, and her show name is really strange (we didn't choose it), 'Townhead Country Lady' which is a very strange name to me, but as she's now 23 and semi-retired, we don't see much point in changing it as she obviously doesn't compete anymore.

Gook luck, I'm keeping my eye on this thread!

 

[suffolkmare]

At first glance, Smokey or Blue...but then Skyla (or alternative sp) seemed to fit and love The sky's the limit! Let us know what you choose!

 

[Illusion100]

I like Skylla!

 

[dollymix]

Another vote for Skye.

But the next time I get to pick my own name, I like Dakota
