A New Name?!

[Remali]

OK......well, at the risk of sounding like a nut....I am not sure I want to name my new mare "Koko". She doesn't know her name yet, I haven't really been calling her that.....soooooo....
I am trying to think up new names for her, and I made a list (yeah, I'm crazy! lol). I am sort of focusing on her red roan coloring, or maybe a Spanish or Native American name....I dunno.... Here is my list so far: Mocha; Lucy (famous redhead, ha!); Sierra; Cameo (she has a diamond-shaped star on her forehead); Kalea (means "joy" and "happiness" in Hawaiian); Reina (means "Queen" in Spanish).

Does anyone have any other suggestions??

[zoel_222]

I'm terrible with naming things I haven't met. I like Rosie for her, though :)

[Remali]

Thanks zoel! For some reason I have a more difficult time coming up with female names. :doh:

[Gypsy Rose]

I like Mocha or Sierra.

[Arrow]

I like Cameo! I think a Spanish name would be cool...but red roans just cry out for "Sugar Cookie" or "Cinnamon 'n' Sugar." But--I think your other ideas are much better! I'd vote for Cameo.

[Remali]

I am sort of leaning toward Mocha or Cameo right now.... If only I could make up my mind....lol.

[FatSpottedAppy]

I love the name Mocha for her. Very pretty name!

[Arrow]

Cameo has a pretty sound--feminine. It suits her, I think.

[Arrow]

And...one vote for each posted at the same time! That's helpful...:D

[FatSpottedAppy]

Haha, what a coincidence. :D

[KCandAllegro'sMom]

I like Cameo and Mocha

I never much liked Koko for her either

[KittySawrus]

Sierra and Mocha I like the sound of.
May I suggest Esperanza? Spanish for hope ^_^
Have fun!!

[Remali]

Great suggestions everyone!

[Gliderider]

I like Lucy

[Ranger44]

I like Lucy

I love Lucy. LOL

Honestly it's one of my favorite names because it's my favorite cousin's name. And the famous Lucy was a great red head :)

[lovesfortune]

uh - oh ! What am I going to tell my son? lol. I like Mocha best. But then again, I knew a horse named Cameo and he was the total opposite looking from your gal.

[HeartofSteel]

I like Sierra or Mika (me-kah) lol

[shewasmyshadow]

I like Sierra and I LOVE Kalea!! Also, how about...

Marcail (Irish for Peace)
Catalina (Spanish for Pure)
Chiquita (Spanish for Little One)
Nova (Hopi for Chasing Butterflies)
Lakota (Native American for Friend)


and actually Koko is native american for "of the night"-not sure if you knew...

[Remali]

Thanks for the other name suggestions shewasmyshadow! The ones you mentioned are really good ones!
Yes, I did know about Koko meaning "of the night", I had googled Native American names. lol. I am still trying to decide.....gee....hope I can make up my mind this weekend! :)

[magayle]

i like rosie...sounds happy...ya kinda smile when ya say it:)

[Nudge_gurl58]

yeah you should change her name! My pony Gypsee didn't respond to her old name (Extra) when we got her, so I changed it to Gypsee! :)
I like Mocha it's very pretty!

[Remali]

Hmmmm.......Mocha......Lucy....

...I'm still pondering....lol.....

[AppyLady]

I like the name Gypsy! I would have used it if Cowgirldude hadn't, LOL! But since she won't have Gypsy much longer, the name is up for grabs. :D

[Remali]

lol! That is an idea!

Right now I am thinking about Lucy.....but.....hmmm.....

There is a boarder at our barn named Sierra, she's beautiful. I like her name, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.

If I had a mare and had to pick a name I was going to name her Kachina, I call the little filly at the barn Kachina, they don't call her that but I call her my little Kachina. I have a mare but she had a registered name so we just sort of built on that and called her Delta and then my friend said we should add Dawn to it so her name is Delta Dawn, after a song about a crazy person which fits us perfectlly since we're sort of crazy!

Good luck picking a name, I'm really not good at it. She's such a pretty girl.

[jeezitsjacki]

I like sierra!

[doc_western]

i like cameo:)

[Remali]

Thanks everyone for ideas....I keep changing my mind.....lol!

Kachina is a pretty name, I think I saw that one when I googled names. So many names....and I am so uncertain.... :)

[HeartofSteel]

Naming is so hard!
The word red in the following languages:
French: Rouge
Indonesian: Merah
Italian: Rosso
Latvian: Sarkans
Romanian: Rosu

Don't know if you like any of those lol

[Remali]

Thanks half passing haffie..... I was wondering about names that mean "red", I had googled some...
you sure are right.....coming up with a name is so hard....just when I think I've made up my mind, I change it again! lol.

[mouse]

I like Kalea, but then I'm partial to Hawaiian names. You could go with something like Caliente (Spanish) which means HOT, cause she's a hottie. :clap: Call her Cali for short!

[Remali]

I was actually thinking of Callie and have it on my list.....lol!

[Arrow]

I came thinkin' you'd decided!

Cameo, Cameo I tell you!

[Toodlestoo]

What about Cherry, Cerise or my favorite, Scarlet--they all mean red! http://bestsmileys.com/horses1/5.gif Here's a little red horse for you!

[Annasmom]

I like Mocha :)

[Remali]

It's odd, because any other time when I've named an animal it was pretty easy for me....lol....
I'm still undecided and pondering.... everyone has great suggestions!

Edited to add......OK....I added another name to my list.... Gingersnap. Hmmmm.....
