I could really use some name help! He now has a name & video! post 34

[rideagoldenpony]

I have a darling Section B Welsh colt, and had NO colt names picked out! I am drawing a total blank on this one.

Sire:*Wedderlie Mardi Gras
Dam: *Holyoake Sonique

I'm attaching some pictures I took of him yesterday at 2 days old. More can be seen at http://www.welshponies.com/09soniquecolt.htm

I've named two of the mare's foals with M names (they were by Mardi Gras), but I don't feel like I need to keep to a particular letter this time.

[Foxhound]

Very cute! I want a pony baby!
Since the dad is Mardi Gras, how about something New Orleans themed, like French Quarter?

Colt??? :cool:

[VirginiaBred]

Carnival
Merrymaker
Fat Tuesday (he WAS born on a Tuesday after all! LOL)
New Orleans

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Well, how about these for a Mardi Gras Theme:

Mardi Gras Mojito (actual top drink at the mardi gras)
or
Masquerade

You could call him Mo or Mojito around the barn. :lol:

[Summerwood]

I was just going to write Masquerade!! I think that would be cute and still with your "M" theme.

He is absolutely adorable. Congrats!!

We had a grey polo pony named Mojito. My daughter couldn't pronounce his name so she called him Tito. We have since sold him (she doesn't know that) but now every time we get another gray we let her think it is Tito!!:D

[rideagoldenpony]

Colt??? :cool:

You bad, bad woman.

:D

[Mo's Mom]

I am terrible with names, but I wanted to say "cute baby'. I just started with training older welshes, and I found your web site, I just wanted to complement you on your stallions, and the results of your breeding.

I am in NC, and hope to come visit some day when I am in the area. You are one of the breeders I look for when checking pedigrees for projects. Good luck with all of your babies this year.:)

[downthecenterlinetheycome]

To be put in front of "Clanfaire"...

Gemini (Gem)
Court Jester (Jest, or Jesse)
Stretch The Truth
Twist The Truth
Too Good To Be True
Truth or Dare
Yours Truly
Salute
Salutation


Sorry, I'm kind of on a 'truth' name kick. Some are more for fillies. He is CUTE.

[LaurieB]

I have no name suggestions, I just opened the thread because I hoped there'd be pictures. :D

What a nice looking foal. :yes:

[tisor]

is perfect. call him raider in the barn. he's got a little mask on!!!

other new orleans names...

katrina?

too soon?

too soon.

[Carrera]

Holy Moly

[ann kitchel]

Clanfair Gumbo
Clanfair Cooken Cajun
Clanfair Cajun Creole
Clanfair Jumbalaya
Clanfair Praline n Cream
Clanfair Beginet

[ilikridn]

He is precious! You certainly do breed gorgeous little ponies!!

If you wanted a boy's name to start with an 'M' you could use "Mr." in front of whatever other name you had in mind. I think I've already suggested that before for you, so pardon me if I'm repeating myself. Not very original.

How about Mardi's Son? I don't know the rules of pony naming... is that not pony enough??? :D

[ann kitchel]

Like Clanfair Masquerade

[rideagoldenpony]

Thanks everyone for your great suggestions!!

My current plans for him are that he will someday be a child's pony, so the cuter the name, the better!! Though I do like the sound of Clanfair Carnival, I'm not sure he's wildly enough marked for that -- or for Masquerade, which I really like too!

I've HAD a couple of colts that would have fit the Masquerade name WELL -- I'll probably save it for another with a BIIIIIIIIIIG white face!

Any other suggestions are very welcome! I haven't settled on anything yet!

[ann kitchel]

OK.........here in the Norheast, Childrens pony hunters would love the names Cajun Cook'n and Jambalaya! Absolutely would be very noticeable in the ring.

Dictionary definition for Mardi Gras lists Carnival..........:yes:

[CDE Driver]

Oh my! What an adorable baby!!!!

I really think you should name him Clanfair I'm Moving Over The Mountains To Live In Sisters To Be A Fancy Driving Pony! :)

[Windswept Stable]

Decided? No fair for your baby to have a name before my baby as we had 5 days on your baby. It just wont come to me this time.
Let me know what you decide. By the way- he's adorable!

I just may take photos tomorrow and post them and let these good people name mine too.

[rideagoldenpony]

LOL You're hilarious!!!

Once he has his 300 WPCSA points for his dam's Legion of Merit.... that could be arranged!! :D

[Bugs-n-Frodo]

Well, My golly what a cutie he is!

Well, with those names (Mardi Gras and Sonique) you certainly need a FRENCH name!!!

King Louis or Petit Louis
Le Concorde (I was thinking of the Concorde sonic jet. . incorporates "Sonique" and yet soounds masculine ;-)
Fat Tuesday (literal English translation of "Mardi Gras" ;-)
Sonic Gem (I think its a kid's video game/cartoon character but incorporates names as well)
Bourbon Street (one of the most popular streets in New Orleans during Mardi Gras ;-)

hmmm, I'll try to think of others. . .

[Fenway]

How about Clanfair Momento? It is an "M" name and it is along the same lines as the lovely Keepsake.

[rideagoldenpony]

Oh, I love that! I am putting that on my list for sure -- if not for this one, then for another!

I also really, really like Fisher Price -- which is a totally different kind of name! LOL

I need to sit down with my big name list this weekend and see if anything else jumps out at me.

[Secretariat2]

What a perfect little darling. No foals for me this year so I search out threads that can give me a foal fix ;)

I thought of Clanfair Parade.
They do have parades (sort of) for Mardi Gras?

[Mardi]

My all time favorite pony name is Pony Roma.

I know, doesn't have anything to do with Mardi Gras.... :)

[dilligaff2]

The Fat Tuesday suggestion is making me smile. I would love to hear that coming in the ring. :)

[VirginiaBred]

I suggested Fat Tuesday (post 4) because he arrived on a Tuesday and he daddy is named Mardi Gras.................;)

[rideagoldenpony]

There has already been a Mardi baby named Fat Tuesday.... though he doesn't carry my prefix, so it would be slightly different, but still.... I might feel like I'm treading on toes a little bit to use that one.

I need to take new pictures of the colt today on his one week birthday. I am SOOOOOOOO smitten with him. He is about ten thousand times cuter than the 2 day old pictures now!!

[KingstonFarm]

He is soooo adorable! Love the whiskers! With all the white, how about Magic Marker?

[rideagoldenpony]

Thank you all for the great name suggestions! I've added lots of them to the Master Name List! ;)

I've finally chosen a name for him. He is Clanfair Red Robin. :)

I took a video of him this morning romping around when I turned him out. You can see him at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekTQjzSMEI0 :D

[VirginiaBred]

Well, he's just darling! And very proud of himself!

[desilu]

He is just too cute for words.....and I love the name!!!

[Summerwood]

He is very cute, and quite the poser! You should be able to get lots of nice photos of him. He obviously thinks he is VERY cool, and momma looks unimpressed by him already :D.

[Fenway]

He is precious. She certainly does have lovely foals, doesn't she?
