If I get a critter from Rosshead sales, (did I mention that yet?), I have doubts that I'll like the name the beast comes with, if it comes with one at all. I doubt anything that comes from there will have a show name attached either. I've personally always been a fan of 'unusual' horse names, anyway. I just personally don't like common/human names for a horse. I know I have readers with common-named horses, don't flame me! ;) Each to his own, there's nothing wrong with common naming.
I sat down and drew up a huge list of 'possible names' should I get a horse that's name doesn't sit well with me. I love all these names, it's going to be a toughie to pick a favorite. I'm so, so partial to all the Harry Potter names, I love Harry Potter. I know some people aren't a fan of it though, but I think it would be incredibly funny and flashy to say, have a palomino named "The Golden Snitch". Almost praying for a palomino so I can use that one!
Anyway, if it turns up that I don't like the name the horse comes with, I think I might pick a few that fit the horse and hold a voting on the blog. Barn names are in parenthesis. Gelding names are in BLUE, Mares in PINK, and intersex names in PURPLE.

The naming of horses is a difficult thing. Sometimes it's a matter of knowing the horse in order to select a good name.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be able to pick a favorite once the "nameowner" steps into your life in the flesh!!
