Please help me name my horse! Pics on profile.

[dooit]

We are taking ownership of a lovely Welsh Sec D tomorrow. He's 4 years old. Just been backed and has never had a name.

He has his registered name which is a mouthful so I'd like to find him a lovely pet name that suits his very calm, affectionate nature. Perhaps with a hint of Welshness??

My 3 DDs have come up with several but none that we all like.

The current faves are-

Tango

Tizer

Woody

Zac

and Leo.

Any suggestions gladly considered.

black beauty

kingsley

cosmo

piper

santa

ok, more inspiration...

Dauntless

Daring

Duncan

The names of the ships that DP's working on.

Oliver

Chester

Harvey

My cat names

Good luck, hope you find the perfect one - he looks like a fabulous big guy

Taffy

Not sure on names but what a gorgeous looking horse

Beautiful horse will ask dd for a name, she is better at that kind of thing than me.

He's beautiful .

I like Woody but then that's my horse's name (short for Torchwood).

My friend had a pony named Cariad, which is welsh for darling and I always liked that.
If you can't have William you could have Gwyllym (welsh form but I think there are different spellings).

loads here

Thanks for that Pixel. Loads to look at there. I love the girls names but of the boys' ones there are only a couple that leap out. Tudor and Idris are lovely.

From your suggestions I'm loving Gunner, Taffy and Cosmo.

Blooming kids are still in bed. I want to go wake them up. I've been awake for hours, I way too excited to sleep. He should be arriving this afternoon/evening all being well.

We will have to have yet another conflab later to find him a name once and for all. Thanks again for all your suggestions.

oh he is lovely.

I have a welsh cob who is called Storm.

What about socks as he has 4 white socks?

Can you give us his reg name?

oh love the name samson.
I used to ride a welsh cob called Sprag..lovely horse.

He looks like a cob I had as a teenager

He was called Tonka cause he was built like a truck

George sprang to mind, but if you want Welsh, how about Gareth?

I said Idris too!

I think he looks like a Max

He's lovely, lucky you.

Well after all that it looks like we're right back where we started.

We put lots of your names along with ours in a hat and DD1 pulled out Leo. Unfortunately for DD1 that is the name of a boy she knows and doesn't like. But then she's 14 and knows alot of boys she doesn't like so our boys names were mainly rejected by her.

So Leo it is I guess. I must admit I really like it. It's kind of solid and sensible but also a bit lionish (?) as is his colouring.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Oh and whoever it was that gave the link to the horse name generator, thanks a million. It came up with some great ones as well as some howlers. I had hours of fun on there.

Congratulations on Leo, the new member of your family!

from my tiny London terrace - no space for a horse here.... or is there?

Thanks frisbyrat.

I was going to suggest Sox (socks) too! Leo is nice and he looks like a lovely horse, good luck with him!

Was going to suggest Winston, but I'm too late.

Leo is good.

I was going to say Bryn but saw you already had it!

He is a CHESTER if ever I saw one!!!!!

He's a handsome fella!
