Help With New Name For New Gelding

PaintedHeaven07 · 10-23-2009, 01:10 PM

We got this gelding a week ago and need to think of a new name for him. The lady we got him from was calling him Amigo but I don't think it really fits him. Here is more information about him, he is a 11 year old, Sorrel Overo Paint Gelding, one blue eye one brown and about 15 hands. He is pretty stocky too. I will attach pictures below of him. So anybody have any name suggestions for him so we can stop calling him "no name"

. Thanks in advance and I will look forward to hearing some the name suggestions.

Is he registered? Whats his registered name? When I see him I think of 'SPLASH'!!

95Harley · 10-23-2009, 01:18 PM

with his funky coloring and that third picture with him sticking his tongue out at you I think Joker!! He is awesome!!! Congrats

PaintedHeaven07 · 10-23-2009, 01:19 PM

Nope, he is not registered. He looks like he should be registered or once was registered. But he is a grade paint as far as I know.

PaintedHeaven07 · 10-23-2009, 01:21 PM

Thanks Harley, that is a really good name suggestion I will defiantly think about that one because it does fit his personality.

All those patches remind me of the old medieval court jesters.

How about "Court Jester"?

I like Joker too

He sure is pretty and looks like he has tons of personality!

HorseLovinLady · 10-23-2009, 04:06 PM

Handsome boy!!!

My name suggestions for him are Joker, Jester, Flash and Apache.

Horselady44 · 10-23-2009, 04:10 PM

I change my mind....I also vote Joker...that is a great name...he sure looks like one

livinthedream · 10-23-2009, 04:11 PM

He looks like a Wyatt, to me....
or on the funny side......Jasper, Maverick, Winchester....

Fancy's Mom · 10-23-2009, 04:23 PM

He seems like a Cody to me. Very beautiful boy

boo_loves_kitty · 10-23-2009, 04:43 PM

How about Cowboy Casanova, from the new Carrie Underwood song?
He's gorgeous!

PaintedHeaven07 · 10-23-2009, 07:34 PM

Thanks for the name suggestions, I like them all so far. Please keep them coming. I have been looking for that one name that pops out and fits him.

Korven Kuningas · 10-23-2009, 07:44 PM

Boy is he gorgeous.

As for names, all I could come up with was Diablo or Cuervo.

Brownie_GA · 10-23-2009, 10:20 PM

Oohh...what a striking coat pattern...he's gorgeous! Joker does sound good, I have to say, with his comical personality coming through! I also like Dakota...lots to think about when naming a new horse.

Slim Pikkens · 10-23-2009, 10:35 PM

Amigo - friend. What could be better than that? Changing a horse's name isn't easy if the horse recognizes it's name.

PaintedHeaven07 · 10-24-2009, 08:22 AM

Just bumping this back up to see if anybody else has any name suggestions.

Slim Pikkens: He really doesn't know the name Amigo nor does he seem to like it. The lady that had him before us only owned him for 6 months and I think she is the one who picked the name Amigo for him and she didn't mess with him hardly at all. So he hasen't had it that long, so I am sure a name change for him would be good thing. I am all for keeping a horses name the same if it recognizes the name but in this situation he does not.

Thanks everybody for the name suggestions. I like the most so far is Boo Loves Kitty's suggestion of Cowboy Casanova.

boo_loves_kitty · 10-24-2009, 12:17 PM

Yay!!

I wish I had a new horse to name that...but, I'll let you have it if you want to use it

I think it suits your boy.

tahani z's momma · 10-24-2009, 12:40 PM

these might be tacky names but they are names of friends horses and i think they are cute

He's a handsome boy!

How about Painted Joker?

Rhaige9 · 10-24-2009, 06:39 PM

I thought of Red Bone when I saw him. Dunno why. Took me almost a week to come up with Benjamin Brown for our new gelding.
