1792.0. "Name Suggestions" by WOTVAX::REESL (Look Before you Leap!!!!!!) Mon Aug 23 1993 10:42

    The showing bug has bitten me and I know feel that my horse would 
    benefit from a show name,  I think she must have originally had a show 
    name before I got her, as she is a liver chestnut, with the name of 
    Cloud??? I would have thought she should be a grey???
    
    She is as I mentioned a Liver Chestnut with no socks,  she has a 
    crescent on her face (which used to resemble a "C" that now looks more 
    like an "F").  Has a fiery temperament when the mood takes her.  And 
    can act like a donkey when it doesn't.  
    
    Any suggestions

1792.2more names...MTADMS::DOUGLASMon Aug 23 1993 11:1110
    Is Cloud her registered name? Do you have to use the registered name
    as the show name? 
    
    How about:
    
    Ginger       (her color)
    
    Hot pepper   (her color and temperament)
    
    Fire and Ice  (her temperament)

    Our liver chestnut has a similar markings on her face which can be called
    a flame; when you add her fiery temperment an iridescent coat her name
    is perfect for her: s. Flame.
    
    Maybe you can work it in with Clou somehow, like Flae Cloud or just
    plain Flame.

    I have the opposite problem, I would LOVE to change my horse's
    registered name, Beau's My Buddy drives me crazy.  I much prefer PeeWee
    (he was smaller than I thought when he arrived).
    
    My other horse is Maid By Favorite Day (Dallas), and then my father has
    Okie Bo Gee Babe (Delta).

1792.7AQHA limits name changing....POWDML::MANDILEmedium and messyTue Aug 24 1993 16:025
    
    Same here, BTW.  Ranger's Angel for a bay gelding just doesn't
    cut it.....

You guys have it good......I'm embarrased to admit this, but my horse's
registered name is, er, stammer, blush....Hope's Unicorn.  I think
someone let their 3 year old name him.  Poor Louie.

I do know that if the horse is a TB, you can usually show under any name
you like.  

Good luck finding a name!

    Lynne, I rather like "Ranger", but the 'Angel" part does sound awfully
    feminine for a gelding. What about simply dropping off the last part,
    or did you want something more 'showy' sounding? 
    
    I've always felt my TB's racing name was about as bad as it can get.
    It's "Comatose Kid". We call him CK, or Thug. 
    (and his sire was 'Unconcious'). Actually, with his dead quiet 
    temperment, it's rather appropriate. I do use his reg. name at shows,
    it's always good for a chuckle or two outta the announcer. :-)

    Many years ago, a friend had a TB hunter that was by Quick Divorce out
    of Alimony...everybody thought she should have named the mare
    "Costs Plenty" or smotheing like that but she wouldn't have it. She
    used a show name of "Executive Suite" and a barn name of "Sweetie"
    because this mare had a real nice disposition.

    Since my "baby" (8 is registered, I have to show him under
    his registered name.....The AQHA allows name changes, but
    he's 9, so I missed the boat.
