Banana-Fana-Fo Fanna, Fee-Fi-Mo-Mana...HELP!!!

[Equine Reproduction]

Okay, this has reached the point of ridiculous. We have had this colt since he was six months old. He's now four <rolling eyes>. He is by Walk on Top and out of a Frohwind daughter. Jos and I can NOT agree on a name. The ones he likes, I hate. The ones I like he hates. The stallions is over 17 hands :o! I haven't put a stick on him - I'm almost afraid to. But, he's very, very sweet and easy to deal with. Has cat like gaits, that just really lithe type movement. He's still very, very young looking <smile>. Definitely not done growing yet - a big, tall, growing adolescent <lol>.

So, here's the deal. Below is a poll on names that we semi-agree on. If someone comes up with a better choice that we use, we'll give ya a free breeding to the boy. He is going for his stallion inspection this summer.

HELP!!

[twistoffate]

The first ones I thought of were Walking on Air or Walking on Wind or some variation of those. But I like Wyatt Earp too

He's beautiful!!!

[Silly Mommy]

Back in the early 70's my parents had a school horse that they couldn't name. He became known as: "Who Knows?":lol::lol::lol:

He is long gone and was never registered as anything, so there you have it!!!:winkgrin:

[Tiki]

I voted for Wyatt Earp

[appaloosalady]

I voted for Wyatt Earp. If I had a colt this year that was going to be its name, but I've had all fillies so far - only one chance left for me!

[TKR]

I like Wyatt Earp. But how about

Wind Walker
Windy City
Walk The Line
West Wind
Windtop
Windscape
Walk On Air
Walkabout
Walky Talky <G>

He sure is a beauty --

PennyG

[SGray]

Walkin' Tall

[okggo]

wholly cr*p that boys got legs!!! Geezo! I'd call him Walks With Stilts.

[Reiter]

I also voted for Wyatt Earp! He's beautiful! I have a mare by Walk on Top, thought I heard he died? Anyone know?

[sixpoundfarm]

From your list, I like Whrett Butler,
but I'll suggest a couple: (Seems like you're going for an "old west" theme- I like it!)

Why wait
Wait is over
Wild West
Woh!!!klahoma (lol)
Whiskey Pete
Whistlestop
Wagon Train
Wichita
Worthington
Wesson (As in Smith and..)
Will Smith
Wrough Rider
Widow maker

[VirginiaBred]

Wyatt Earp would be a GREAT name!!!

[Equine Reproduction]

I also voted for Wyatt Earp! He's beautiful! I have a mare by Walk on Top, thought I heard he died? Anyone know?

Yes, he died a couple years ago now, I think.

And yes, okkgo...this kid has LEGS!!! He's still trying to figure out where they need to go. He reminds me of our young teenage worker bee, Blake. Blake is 16, 6'2" and 135 pounds!!!! Once they both grow into their frames, they should be quite striking <lol>.

I loved Walk on Top. I bred to him three times with different mares.

I have a copy of the old Dressage and CT magazine with Walk on Top on the cover.

He was a major ham.

Topper died a few years ago covering a mare.

[MagicRoseFarm]

he is really lovely I want the breeding :)

WROCKSTAR

and since you have a good sense of humor, the less precocious:
elmer fudd version WOCKSTAR

is my submission for new name choice

[RiddleMeThis]

I REALLY REALLY like Wikipedia!!

[Mel0309]

I voted for Wyatt Earp also. I had a mare registered as Who. I hated it - got very confusing as we also called her that as a barn name.
Person: "Who is that?"
Me: "Who"
Person: "That one right there"
Me: "Her name is Who"
Person: "Oh..."

[Home Again Farm]

I voted for Wyatt Earp too, though I also like Whrett Butler. His is gorgeous!

[Summit Springs Farm]

He's beautiful!!

How about,
Walk On By or Walk On Bye
Washington

[WBLover]

OMG that's my old horse, "Why Not"!!!! He was by Walk on Top also out of a Frohwind daughter, and they could be twins!!! Who is his dam? My guy's was Allegra, by Frohwind out of a Shagya arab mare. I bought him from Helmut Schrandt.

He was leggy, and chestnut with three socks but had a blaze--I'm telling you, it's Why Not reincarnated. It's EERIE! I've got to dig up pictures and post them. Down to the way you describe him "cat-like gaits, lithe movement" so did mine. And a canter to die for! He would have been about 13 or 14 I think now? Unfortunately, the lady I sold him to had to put him down a few years ago from a pasture accident. I CRIED and CRIED, gawd I LOVED that horse. He was the sweetest, most willing creature in the world :(. A true in-your-pocket horse. He'd follow me around like a lost puppy.

I got news for ya, he never grew into those legs! He remained very refined and leggy his whole life, but he was a beautiful boy none-the-less.

I LOVE him, is he started yet?

[Kimberlee]

Just looks like a Wrhett to me with the old fashioned liver chestnut color going on. Love him, he is gorgeous.

[lizathenag]

In the sixties, my cousin bought a horse at an auction because her husband scratched his head. . .so we named him who me?

[WBLover]

OH, that's too weird, Fairview suggested Why Not for his name. I wouldn't mind at all if you used it!! In fact, it would be an honor!

[Tiki]

But Rhett Butler was a GIRL! I really like Wyatt Earp. He'll be out there with Elvis (Isabel Werth) and Forrest Gump (Hubertus Schmidt). I like it, I like it.

[hessy35]

However, I STILL like Wyatt Earp!

[DownYonder]

Being as my new guy is named Doc Holliday, I had to vote for Wyatt Earp. :D

Lovely boy, BTW!

[twistoffate]

Can I change my vote??? :) The more I look at him the less I think he looks like a Wyatt Earp. He's much to elegant! I'm going to have to keep thinking...

[Nootka]

Being as my new guy is named Doc Holliday, I had to vote for Wyatt Earp. :D

hahhaha that is great:lol:

[LivviesMom]

He's stunning! I really like Wikipedia as well.. don't know..just has a nice ring to it.. if he thinks he "knows it all" it would fit! Should have named my filly that :rolleyes:

[aurum]

Wikipedia sounds too female to me and so I voted for one of my famous Western heros: Wyatt Earp

[Oakstable]

WOT's Up, Doc

(Elmer Fudd in old Bugs Bunny cartoons)

[Carrera]

Too bad it has to be a W name...

I would go for Cake Walk...

Now I have to think of someting amazing, I'd kill for a breeding.

[Dune]

I would vote for Wynnewood, except for the way it's pronounced. If you pronounced it "Winwood", I'd like it better (or even that name works or Wynwood) I think, at this stage in the game, he looks like a "Woody" for a barn name. Handsome boy but a little gawky/rangy right now. He'll be a stunner later on. I also like Walkin' Tall, Windwalker, Willoughby, or you could name him after our current day celebrities like Willy Arts or Will Smith. ;)

[hey101]

But how about

Walk The Line


The closet Johnny Cash fan in me votes for Walk the Line!
He's stunning :)

[pony grandma]

well if you've got Wrockstar and Walk the Line then I'll add

Walk This Way :lol:

[hey101]

well if you've got Wrockstar and Walk the Line then I'll add

Walk This Way :lol:

Ooh, I love Aerosmith too (and am not in the closet for them!). But Dream On is my fav Aerosmith song... what's the mare's name? Any "dream" references in there!? :lol:

[misita]

I voted for Whrett Butler. But I love Wrocket Man and Wrock Star too. Wyatt Earp is cute too.

[scubed]

Walk the Line - incorporates the country theme (Johhny Cash) and the sire name

[twinlights]

What a handsome boy!

Who's On First

Boy oh boy.... I'm OLD!!!! :no:

[kmp2707]

What A Question

[Equine Reproduction]

Boy oh boy.... I'm OLD!!!! :no:

<lol>...Well, FWIW, when I was throwing out Wrhett Butler to the kids that work for me, they all gave that "huh??" look. I said, you know?? Gone With The Wind??? Nope. Had absolutely NO clue <sigh>> Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. <grin>. Now that made ME feel REALLY old. But, I KNOW Tiki and I are of an age, so I'm just guessing she led a very sheltered life ;)

Jos HATES Wyatt Earp. He thinks it sounds like a Quarter Horse name <smile>. There were a couple suggestions here that he likes, so we'll see how this all shakes out. WBlover, I have to go look at his papers to see exactly who his dam is. I know she wasn't out of a Shagya mare, though...at least I don't think she was <smile>.

LOL, I guess he would probably think my Doc Holliday is a QH. Aren’t there some famous reining QH’s with “Doc” in the name? But one look at my guy and he would see right away this ain’t no QH! :D

Besides, to be a QH, your guy would have to be named Wyatt Peppy Bar Earp. :lol:

Since I saw him and thought "Wow", as in "wow is he tall, and wow I love his color", I would suggest Wow as his name.

OK, here's my Walk on Top gelding out of the Frohwind/Shagya mare. Frohwind is known for crossing VERY well with Arabs, and the Shagya's are very sporthorse in type. His dam held the record for a long time of highest scoring mare at her inspection. She was really NICE. She was ISR/Oldenburg approved, back when the German Oldenburg verband still was involved with the ISR. My gelding had pink German papers.

I made an album of him. In the first two pics he was about 2-1/2, the next pic he was 5, and the last two under saddle he was probably 9 or 10 and it was the lady I sold him to riding him in those pics. She trained him to 4th level. I wish I had never sold him, but my circumstances at the time necessitated it.

If your stallion has the temperament my guy had, he's going to be a GEM, and I'd breed to him in a heartbeat if I had a mare!

WOW - he's loffly!!

I like the Wage Earner idea.

I can't wrap my mond arounf Wyatt Earp ~ probably because my sister's nephew is named Wyatt and once when he was a baby, my niece (just a couple years older) saw him having his back patted after eating ~ and we all know what happens then, so when it happened she says "Look mommy, Wyatt Burp" :lol: Just can't forget it

[avezan]

Oh he's gorgeous! I agree with Jos about Wyatt Earp. Too quarter horsey, and he is no QH! How about WINDTALKER, the navajo code talkers from WWII. Or West with the Wind. I would love a breeding to him! :)

This is fun.... I've had too much coffee and can't sleep so the name game it is!

Stream of thought....

A few years ago I remember a champion working hunter named "whataboutme" the name was so cute, I wished I'd thought of it!

We had a junior jumper named Whiskey Talk. I think he's retired now.... it was a good, memorable name.... could be used again...

Or...

How about ....

Wonderland (John Mayer..lol...is that young enough for you?)

or, Walk on Top Too

or, Wanderer

or, I like someone else's suggestion of Windtalker (wasn't it the name of a movie about indians during WWII?)

hmmmm.... I suppose a name like William wouldn't be interesting? Remember Milton...who'd a thunk of naming a horse Milton?

but, I digress...

how about Windsor .....thinking of William :-)

or, Windfall

or, Woodstock

Waterloo

Whitewater

Watermark




OK... now I'm sleepy... I'll check in tomorrow and see what new names come up! I'm glad my naming is over for this year!

[aurum]

if everybody puts up a new name, why not
Wundervoll which is German and means Wonderful
and would fit him quite well.

How about...

[Roan]

He reminds me a bit of that painting that George Stubbs (1724 - 1806) did of the famous thoroughbred racehorse, Whistlejacket:

http://www.josephlogue.com/images/London2007/whistlejacket.gif

Most of the other W names I was thinking of have already been suggested. So I propose:

Whistlejacket


Eileen

[aurum]

that Whistlejacket looks very much Chocolate Palomino to me.

[Roan]

that Whistlejacket looks very much Chocolate Palomino to me.

Chestnut, apparently:

"Whistlejacket
SIRE: Mogul - GODOLPHIN ARABIAN
DAM: Mare by Sweepstakes - mare by Hampton Court Chestnut Arabian - sister to Brown Farewell by Makeless - mare by Brimmer - mare by Place's White Turk - mare by Dodsworth - Layton Barb mare (Family 4).
Chestnut 1749. Bred by Sir William Middleton of Northumberland. A good racehorse, he won a famous match for 2,000 guineas over 4 miles at York in 1759, beating Brutus by a length. Sold to the second Marquess of Rockingham and was retired to Rockingham's stud. Sired colts Coriolanus (1762) and Roscius (1767) and a filly Laura (1766), all from Pretty Polly, but did not leave much of a mark on the breed. Made famous by George Stubb's dramatic portrait (the one shown is a less known portrait of the horse, also by Stubbs)."

All I can say is WOW!!! You guys have come up with some really, really cool alternatives. So, I'm going to have to pin down Jos and see if he likes any of the proposed names better than what we've come up with to date. I really like Walk the Line and Whistlejacket...that one is just kinda fun and I know Jos loves Stubbs' work <smile>. This has been a really fun thread to follow <smile>...Might have to do another poll to pick the best of the best! Thank you everyone! I should have done this 3 years ago <lol>. As Cyndi noted, the poor guy doesn't even have a barn name...well...that's not entirely true. We "do" call him Ginormous 'cause he IS!!! Funny, I always swore I wouldn't own a horse over 16:3 and I wouldn't own a chestnut <rolling eyes>. Never say never. Those are words you will almost certainly eat.

I, too, was stuck trying to think of a "W" name five years ago when my foal hit the ground. Two that never left my mind:

I am reminded of 30+ years ago. I was working off my board evenings cleaning stalls after my regular banking job. I turned in my notice, and the last day said, "Yea, I will never, ever have to clean a stall again!" :o :sadsmile: :dead:

At least you didn't have to change your stallion's name from what I did as my "W' name, "Whoops". :lol:

<smile>...One of the things that I tell the kids that work for me is that I will never, ever ask them to do something that I haven't or won't do myself. 95% of the time, I'm out in the "trenches" with them and while I may not be thrilled to have to do it, I've found that they respect me (at least they "say" they do :lol:) and will do just about anything I ask of them. I LOVE my workers and periodically tell 'em that today's "job" is to go fish for dinner ;) Fortunately, there's three ponds on the property so they don't have to go far.

At least you didn't have to change your stallion's name from what I did as my "W' name, "Whoops". :lol:

It's really TOUGH coming up with a memorable name that fits. I have a list that I keep, but when push comes to shove, I didn't like any of them for this guy and the ones I liked Jos hated <sigh>. Tough being an opinionated pair.

Anyone know how to change the poll and add names or do I have to just start completely over?

Wow!

Oh my goodness, does that mean "Walk The Line" is a finalist???? That means I *might* win a breeding???? Ohhhhh boy!!! My husband's eyes would be rolling like dice if I said I'm going to breed a mare -- but that would be next year, wouldn't it? Plenty of time for it to sink in, LOL!!!

How about Walk My Way, since I'm sure he'll have a beautiful group of mares headed his way!;)

He's gorgeous!

I like wikipedia because the barn name could be Wiki. WIcked wiki when he's being naughty. And his son can be Little Wicki. Ahahahaha~!

[Baroque-n-Dreams]

I don't know, something about that diamond on his forehead and his coloring makes me think he should have diamond cufflinks on as well.....even though those are 3 socks and not "cuffs" all the way around. :D

Wrhett Butler just seems to fit him best.

Wyatt Earp is nice, but with that face, Wyatt is just wrong. I'd think that would fit better with a wide blaze and not a classy diamond like this boy is sporting.

Oh, here's one! Goes with his color, is catchy and (hopefully) memorable! Plus it has historical connotations!

Walking the Walk

The Walker

(character from a childrens book series "the Dark is rising"---it was one of my fav. series as a kid)


Walk this Way

(from Areosmith!...so you gotta scream it!)

Just curious the status of this guys name and the inspection (if you took him already). He looks so much like his sire to me.

<smile>..Thanks for asking. We decided on Walk The Line, so Penny...you've got a free breeding coming. We hauled him over to Silver Creek Farm on Monday where he'll be staying the next month or so for training for free jumping and continuing with his under saddle training. I'll be hitting Barbara up for updates periodically. We head out the end of this month for our short courses and for freezing semen, so we won't even be able to attend the inspections <sigh>. I'm hoping we can go over one day next week before we hit the road.

So everyone keep your fingers crossed for us. He's certainly been an easy, easy stallion to deal with!

OMG!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!! I actually won something! How cool is that! Glad you liked the name, I'm going to have to follow his inspection while holding my breath! Now, I'll have to pick a mare -- is there any video? VERY EXCITED!!

Thanks!

:D Well, "I" never win anything. But glad you're excited about it!

Do more than hold your breath!!! Keep your fingers, eyes, toes and ears crossed and hope he passes! No video footage yet. We've got him going under saddle and we're hoping to try and make it over to Silver Creek when I get back home (I'm in Washington for my Mother's 76th b-day - It's her first since my father died so I flew up to surprise her <sad smile>) and get some video footage. In the meantime, we have to rely on Barbara to keep me updated. <lol>.

Geez, I've got to drop in on this forum more often. After so many years of needing W names it ended with hubby naming the last colt Willy Wonka (so that one's taken folks ;) ) Definitely not anything I liked but a friend had started calling him Willy when he was just a couple of days old and now he's stuck with it. If I had seen this thread I sure would have had a better name....

Nice boy, Kath. Good luck with him! As for me I'm hoping we've bred our last. We're just too physically challenged to handle stallions and babies anymore. Besides, we're having WAY too much fun driving :D :yes:
