Need help coming up with a nickname

PaganRider · 08-22-2008, 11:03 AM

I need help coming up with a nickname for my horse. He is a 5 year old thoroughbred. he is 16 hands and is supposed to be jet black. he will be as soon as i can get him some black as night. anyway...his show name is Coastal Breeze and right now he is being called Tommy. I just don't like the name Tommy so I need to come up with a nickname but have no ideas! Please help!

If you have a hubby or BF soldier, what about a nickname from their unit - or equipment..

Big, black TB, and your handle is PaganRider?

I secound the name Lucifer, and you could call him Louey for short.

RenosGirl · 08-22-2008, 03:23 PM

I like sarge or general best

Horsepower · 08-22-2008, 03:42 PM

Or.....Bullet, Comrad, Comet, Midnight, Coal, Bubba, Bandit, Flash

You know, when I was a kid, I always wanted to name my horses Black Diablo - don't know why other than I always wanted a horse with that name. Problem was, I never had a black horse. As a matter of fact, I STILL have never had a black horse in 50 years...

White Diablo or Spotted Diablo or Chestnut Diablo or Palomino Diablo just don't sound the same...

beezwing · 08-22-2008, 05:37 PM

or..Odin, Loki, Thor, Puck, Waylan, Roland, Lugh or just plain Heathen

Oak, Ash, or Thorn...

or you could go Egyptian..Osiris maybe?

great..I can come up with all sorts of nifty names for a black male horse and stick with the ubiquitous Lady for my own...shakes head

If your man is in the navy, you could call him C.B. ( like the fighting sea bees) or CB radio plus C.B. Stands for Coastal Breeze.

lady dumpling · 08-22-2008, 11:29 PM

How about Sailor,I also like Breezey,Jetti or Jedi.

AlbertaGirl · 08-23-2008, 12:55 AM

What about Tommy-Gun

? Just kidding.

As already suggested, I like Diablo, and Bullet (had one named that), but they both sound kind of western-y...

For another one that also comes from a horse I leased, and I didn't see suggested, how about Sniper (or Snyper)?

I was thinking the same thing.....use his initals....we have a horse at my barn with a weird name and we use his initals. It's a lot easier to say KC than Khemosabi's Crown.

Beamersmom · 08-23-2008, 08:49 AM

Since he's black, how about Coal or Onyx?
