Exactly that really! She's a pony actually, 13.2hh, New Forest, bay mare. She's arrived with a name I really don't like and because she's comparatively young I'm going to change it.

I need a sweet, soft, gentle name. She's ever so laid back. I can sort of feel the right name hovering in my mind but can't quite grab it!

Any ideas ladies?!

If she's a bay, then Daphne:
Greek Meaning:

"The name Daphne is a Greek baby name. In Greek the meaning of the name Daphne is: Bay tree, or laurel tree. The Greek mythological nymph Daphne was rescued from the unwanted attentions of the god Apollo by being turned into a laurel bush."

Do you want a horsey name or a more human name?
