LoveMyHorse18 · 10-24-2009, 06:49 PM

Ya know, im not sure why, but some reason the name " Rocky" screams at me when I look at him..

ETA:

Cruiser seem's to fit him too.....

I am going to be dating myself with this one. How about Cisco from the old Cisco Kid cowboy show....it was back there with Roy Rogers . Your Wow handsome boy reminded me of that show and his horse Diablo.

Darqwillow · 10-24-2009, 09:44 PM

He looks like a Joker to me

PaintedHeaven07 · 11-01-2009, 12:17 PM

I love everybodys name ideas so far. But I still haven't decided on a name yet. We have had him for like 3 weeks and he is still being called "he", "that horse", lol. Just bumping this back up to see if anybody else can think of some other ones. Thanks in advance.

Mr. Personality
Trooper
Benjamin Button
Ben or Benny
Comical Relief
Jack

He's a real cutey~!

Mac · 11-01-2009, 01:06 PM

I like Jester or Corky.

Stormy's Human · 11-01-2009, 01:27 PM

My first thoughts when I saw his picture were Splash or Flash! Very pretty boy.

Slim Pikkens · 11-01-2009, 01:30 PM

I had bo't a very nice Shetland mare and had to come up with a name. It took a few months but one day while lazing about on a hot day, a name came to me that suited her perfectly. There are no rules on how long it takes to name your horse. Most of the animals I own respond to C'mon.

PaintedHeaven07 · 11-01-2009, 08:47 PM

Slim Pikken, that is the truth. All of our guys come by C'mon too.

. I will defiantly take your advice and give it some time and see if something comes to us, you are right there is defiantly no rush to it. We have actually been thinking about using his old name "Amigo" but are not too sure. We are going to try to use it the next couple of days and see if he likes it. We have been taking everybodys suggested names and using them to see if they fit, there are defiantly a couple we are considering. Thanks again everybody and I will update once we have found something and of course if anybody has anymore suggestions, please post them.

I still like Joker

He just looks like a Joker to me

Either way he is a stunning eye catcher

Keep us updated on what you name him

hawk · 11-01-2009, 09:43 PM

I like apache, chester, riley, or copper

Buddy's girl · 11-02-2009, 12:23 AM

I've always heard it's bad luck to change a horses barn name but I like Apache. It came to mind when the pic came up.

Blaqwraith · 11-02-2009, 09:00 AM

What about Hidalgo??

like the movie based on the true story.

dixidarlin · 11-03-2009, 08:21 PM

There's a horse at the barn I work at that looks IDENTICAL to your boy. His name is Copenhagen, we call him Cope or Copers.

RenosGirl · 11-03-2009, 08:24 PM

I don't know why but that goof smile on his face makes me think of the name Buddha

Rafflesgirl · 11-03-2009, 08:53 PM

The first thing that came to my mind was also Splash as in splash of paint of course!

ImzadiMoon · 11-04-2009, 08:19 AM

It took some good looking at the pictures posted to come up with something different...so for all its worth, here are my suggestions in priority order

#1-Orion...the three spots on his nose are identical to the placement of the stars on the constellation "Orion",as in Orion's belt.

#2-Sitka..named for the frontier spruce tree...it has a cool ring to it.

#3-Coyote...again frontier-sounding...and I always thought it'd be cool conundrum to have a horse named Coyote....

#4-Acoya...was the name of a character in a book series called "She Who Remembers" who became a powerful and peaceful shaman.

#5-Kokopelli...also a Native American historical figure, check out his legend!

ANyhoo, I know they're a bit off the beaten path, but I hope you like them!

Comfort · 11-04-2009, 08:26 AM

How about.

Picasso's Moon

Okie Dokie, you can call him Okie

Ghoti · 11-04-2009, 08:49 AM

I like the name Darwin.

prancingpony · 11-04-2009, 08:54 AM

I think Crockett fits him!!
