A Horse With No Name?
2004’s "Name The Filly Contest!" is over but…
Veronica’s newest filly girl – a chocolate and white paint horse, born May 19, 2004 and without a name! This horse was field-born, but she exhibits no shyness at 4 months of age – you’d think she’d been imprinted at birth!
As much as I loved her from the moment I saw her, I was stumped for a good filly name for her! We went to the GoodByeCityLife readers for help and came up with a number of names (at left). Even though the contest closed in 2004, we’re leaving this page here for others who may have a filly (or even a colt) that they may need help naming. I left a full list of the names below…
Our filly was eventually named Puzzle and it was a perfect fit! No pun intended. This paint horse always has the softest, most questioning eyes – as if she’s contemplating some great mystery. She’s been nothing but a delight to have around.
As a matter of fact, one day the horses were scratching on the old pole gate and it collapsed under the Clydesdale’s weight. Of course all the horses scrambled out and into our other field, but our Puzzle girl was right down at the house whinnying to me through my office window.
Now I’m not sure if she wanted me to come out and play with her or if she was being a certified snitch, but I was happy for her alarm before there was any trouble!
This paint filly of ours, Puzzle, has grown past her mother now, a Welsh Pony. The photo above she’s still just 4 months old. For her first year here she always managed to keep her whites spotlessly white! The colts however did not fare so well as they loved to roll in the dirt. Lately, though, when bug season hit, Miss Perfect here has learned the virtues of rolling in dirt to keep bug bites down.
As soon as she cleans herself back up again, I’ll take a more recent photo…until then, here’s what our chocolate Rocky Mountain Horse (a yearling filly) thinks of poop rollers.
Horse Names – Filly or Colt
Tiramasu – she looks like it! Yummy
Splashes
Oreo Cream
My Gosh
Cali
Pollyanna Leigh Childs – I believe a ‘human’ name would fit because she’s one of the family already
Isabella – a lovely name for a lovely girl.
Definitely name her Allison – I think it has a nice ring to it! (from Allison)
Bliss – because she seems so happy
Her markings look like the disney mouse ears logo turned 90 degrees toward her head so call her Minnie Mouse
Brown Sugar
Marabella – or Bella or Marble
Nikka
DREAMSCAPE
GODIVA – WOULD BE A GOOD NAME FOR A CHOCOLATE HORSE WITH CLASS
Zuri – pretty (in Swahili)
Jamala - Beauty (in Swahili)
Cecilly or Sadie
Flying Colors
Her spots look like spots of storm clouds so call her Solar Spots
Georgie – or Georgie Girl
I see the image of an Indian head on her back call her Dawn Devotional
Camillia
Looks like vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, so Sundae or Choco. My son says she looks like a milkshake
Little beauty "Cappuccino" – she looks like a delicious blend of dark coffee and frothy milk
Nascita di maggio - "Maggio" for short…:) It means May birth in Italian
How about "Swirly Girl" for that great chocolate swirl she has going on…
My son -in-law thinks that because of the short tail; Stubby would be a good name
All of these names are women of importance in history… so if you want to choose an uncommon name here are a few….
Curie, Joliot, Mairead, Shirin, Ottilia, Gabriela, Eumachia, Hetairai,and Livy
You could always use Dakota
Astria
Grace
Fan Dancer – for the markings on her side, and her tail.
Dancer – is a good name. You can add to it with other names like Cloud Dancer or Plains Dancer. She has long legs that fit the name
Nestlè
Cheesecake
Looks Like Trouble
Muddle or Puzzle
Oreo
PILAR – (pee-lar)
EPONA – Usage: Celtic Mythology. Derived from Gaulish epos meaning "horse". This was the name of the Celtic goddess of horses. Strength, beauty, and grace.
