Help me name my ponies! (win straws!)
  • I've officially reached the point of ridiculousness in the unnamed stud department, so I need your help. Suggest names for my boys, and if I use your name you'll win a straw (or maybe more, depending on the boy) for that stud! I may also award straws for names that I love and want to keep on the back burner for future boys :)

    To give you a bit of an idea, I really like names that are strong and standalone (eg. Brego, Argo, Zuko) and I also like names that are poetic without being cliche (Obsidian Resolve, Muted Cacophony, MinimalistDiamond). I also loveee me some other languages (I mostly do Spanish and Latin, but am open to others!). I am a physicist and so I definitely appreciate science references. I'm also a musician and appreciate those as well :) I'm pretty into video games like Legend of Zelda (& basically any Nintendo), Skyrim, etc. I hope this gives you a nice springboard! If you want to see examples of what I've used in the past, take a look at my named studs: http://hj2.huntandjump.com/adv_search.php?status=any&ageg=&agel=&agee=&erag=&eral=&erae=&f_basic=none&f_adv=none&tattoo=&f_limit=25&stallion=1&name=eF&name_lm=like&color=&color_lm=like&bty=1&lined=lined&foundation=1&sire=&dam=&barn=&owner=2491&breeder=&e1=1&e2=1&a1=1&a2=1&f1=1&f2=1&p1=1&p2=1&s1=1&s2=1&s3=1&c1=1&c2=1&c3=1&d1=1&d2=1&g1=1&g2=1&ch1=1&ch2=1&z1=1&z2=1&sa1=1&sa2=1&kit1=1&kit2=1&kit3=1&kit4=1&kit5=1&kit6=1&kit7=1&kit8=1&kit9=1&sp1=1&sp2=1&rb1=1&rb2=1&o1=1&o2=1&l1=1&l2=1&v1=1&v2=1&brindle1=1&brindle2=1&patn1=1&patn2=1&patn3=1&patn4=1&patn5=1&patn6=1&wf1=1&wf2=1&wf3=1&wf4=1&wf5=1&wf6=1

    On to the boys!

    For now that's it. I have a lot of lined boys that need names too, but for some reason I find those easier...I may still add them :P There will be restrictions on the studs. For the S+ boys that will mostly likely mean keeping offspring strictly in house. The black chestnut will have looser restrictions :)

    Let's see those names!
  • For the dark chestnut boy I suggest Darkest Secrets, for the buckskin I suggest BuckinSoot, and for the bay Blue Knight



    Life is Special live it to your fullest
  • For the bay, I would suggest "Enticing Melody", to go with his wonderful sootyness, it hides in his darkness, but gives hints of such dramaticness, like hearing a beautiful song off in the distance.

    The buckskin is amazing in it's darkness of color, probably the darkest one I have ever seen in game. The name that pop's up in my head for him, is not very "unique", but "Crem D'Carbon" is what is rattling around in my head when I look at him.

    The chestnut is lovely, and since you like music, I looked up some musical symbols, and like the name "Breve", which means double whole note, or double note, and considering he definately has Homozygous DP (or double DP), I thought it would fit him.
  • For the black chestnut, Counterintuitive.

    Others:
    Kinetic
    Galileo
    Galactic Tide
    Isosceles
    Enceladus (Saturn's moon... I'm gonna tap moon names if you don't, I like that one..)
    Imperator
    Khagan (actually.... do a Wiki search for royal and noble ranks, you'll find gold. This one is mongol for king of kings)

    That's what I've got for now. I am a font of names, I LOVE naming things... one of my favorite things about this game is naming thousands of horses. ;)
  • Love the names so far! Forgot to add that you can suggest as many names as you want, and you don't have to designate them for a specific horse - whatever works for you!

  • Lucky, lucky! Beautiful colors! I don't have any name suggestions for you at the moment. I am still laughing over the temporary name for the chestnut. I love that name.... Too cute! But is there any chance you would sell a straw for the buckskin? I have a real dark buckskin mare that I would like to breed to him.
  • Let me think about it PaintsStables. That one cost me a lot of RL dough lol, so I typically would not sell any from him. I am mid-finals right now so let me take a few days to remember what my name is and think on it and get back to you :)
  • Good luck on your finals! Been there done that, but not recently. Its not a problem if you aren't going to sell any straws. I have the same thing with one of my stallions.
  • Hey everyone, I'm going to end this Thursday night at rollover. I can say that there are some names that I really like so far, but I don't think I've found just the right name for all 3 studs yet. Keep the entries coming! :)

  • Just so everyone knows, I haven't forgotten about this! I have just been having trouble deciding! The results are still forthcoming.
  • The results are in! There were a lot of names I liked, so thanks for all the awesome suggestions!

    I have decided to name the DP bay boy Breve. The name was suggested by KerredansCorral. It was not suggested for this stud, but I thought it fit him really nicely. You win three straws to Breve, KerredansCorral!

    As soon as I read it, I knew I had to name the black chestnut boy Counterintuitive. Great name Abbey Road! You'll get three straws to Counterintuitive!

    I did not choose a name for the buckskin - for some reason I just find it so hard to choose for him. However, I really loved a lot of royal drakon's names, so I want to reward you with one straw to this boy!

    Please post your IDs and I'll get to sending you the straws :) For Breve and the buckskin stud, I want all intact descendants kept strictly in house. These boys are extremely special (and coughpriceycough), so I hope you understand my protectiveness. For all three studs, I ask that you only breed to foundation mares that have passed all free testing.
  • Yaaaay!!! :3 I love the two names you chose for the others! Esspecially Breve!

    my I.d is 2574
  • Woohoo, thanks! :D #382
  • Awesome! Thank you! #130
    :D
  • OK I think all straws have been sent out. Let me know if I messed up! If you'd like, post links to your foals!
