What would you name a horse with...

[retreadeventer]

Four white socks?

I know...another naming thread....so sorry....but we are stuck. He's a nice chestnut gelding and we need it to be no more than two words, or one word -- we are calling him (this is so lame) "Red" for now. Help, help please!

[fourmares]

Knee deep is great, and you could call him Frog for a barn name.

[WombatCA]

I knew one called Four Feet of Snow.
It always amused me (but it's not two words)

[Flypony]

Iwould call him Soxs in the city.

[barrelchick00]

[oldenburger with fries and a cold beer]

I hope you are not from NY
How about Red Sox?

[oldenburger with fries and a cold beer]

Oops, Super pony already thought of that name. How about Firestone?

[gottagrey]

What are your other horse's names - sometimes, like breeders, then you can tie in markings w/ some kind of theme.. for example a friend of mine had "day" in all her horse's names - Whataday, Day-by-Day, etc. So you could try something along those lines. It's fun to try to make the words fit

[MyGiantPony]

Or how about Sockrates?

This. :lol:

[MyGiantPony]

Oh...

The Joy of Sox

[Come Shine]

Another vote for Sockrates. :lol:

Red October

[allisontatman]

I like Sockrates or:
Sockitome, Socket Toomee
Sockandawe
Windsock
Socket
Sockblazing Red
Atomic Sock

or a combination of several such as:

Good Luck

Sharp Dressed Man

:lol:

[MIKES MCS]

Stocking Stuffer

[Trevelyan96]

Cinnamon N Sugar.

I also really liked Fox in Sox.

[Addison]

SOCKRATES is great but you would get a lot of Sock Rates from the announcers. How about Socrates?

[Heart's Journey]

Vivid
Vivid Effect

I also like Socrates

[retreadeventer]

Well...thanks for the suggestions....we haven't seen any yet that jumped out at us....we don't like any with the sock references, none of those fit this horse. He's quietly elegant, really, when he is in a good mood and behaving well. He can be a typical TB at times, tho!
Knee Deep wasn't bad but his whites don't go up that high.
Someone today suggested Grenadine. I'm not a bar fiend...does anyone have any good drink name suggestions for something red and white?

[GilbertsCreeksideAcres]

Snow Boots

[Addison]

How bout "Gingerbread Man" or just Gingerbread?

[subk]

High Cotton

[LAZ]

Snow Shoes. :winkgrin:

Can't help you on the drinks, I'm a beer girl.

[clairdelune]

I had a hard time thinking of a name for my chestnut gelding,in the end I settled on calling him after a brand of Cognac,but at his first show there were 2 other horses with the same name.
The name I wish I had chosen was Marron Glace, proun: ma ron gla say.

[Trevelyan96]

Peppermint Schnaps?

[Trevelyan96]

If you want something elegant and classy, go with a french or italian name. I was looking for something for Rico, and I wanted it to start with either an R or a T, or something that meant red or chestnut. I love Castagne, which is chestnut in Italian, but I realized it would be butchered at shows, so I went for Razzaro instead, which simply means 'young lad', and that seemed to fit his personality nicely. If I could have found a cool version of the word troublemaker, I would have jumped on it!

[clairdelune]

French for chestnut is Marron or German it is Kastanie,both are quite easy to say.I agree with Trevelyan96 a name in a different language has a lot of class!

[Serendipity]

What about:
Pinot Grigio
Rum & Coke (sorry, not terribly elegant, but red)
Pinot Noir
Congac
Merlot
Martini

Oh boy I sound like a barfly.......

[fascination]

What about:
Pinot Grigio
Rum & Coke (sorry, not terribly elegant, but red)
Pinot Noir
Congac
Merlot
Martini

... hopefully I won't sound like a barfly either.

Manhattan (though this would probably get misunderstood)
Bellini (though that is more pink/gold than red/white)
Chambord (raspberry liqueur)
Calimocho (red wine and cola)
Sazerac


or, you could always give him a people name. There are a million ways to make a horse sound "dignified"... or you could call him Pepe Le Pew. :lol:

[sissyfoo]

LOVE Sockrates!!!

Four white socks?

[RockinHorse]

[leilatigress]

Mani Pedi
I love Snow shot
Four on Floor
Rockin Socks

[Threedaydream]

Hand Dipped
Fondue
Pantaloon

For the brown/white drinks:

I liked the suggestion "High Cotton"

[SmileItLooksGoodOnYou]

cherry coke

Sangria

Coconut Creme
Irish Cream
SnowShot


Sangria is the name of a horse doing the big jumpers and GP's in the my barn.

There's probably a horse going under coconut creme with all the coconut grove horses out there, same with irish horses and powder run horses.

I LOVE Footnote.

[dbtoo]

How about:

Dress Whites
First Mate
Footlights

[otterhound63]

A thumbs up here for Footnote :yes:

[Addison]

There is a pretty famous High Cotton out there and First Mate as well.

[witherbee]

I like Chambord, and thought of Peppermint Schnapps too. Here are some others:

Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Martini (or Raspberry, Pomegranate, Strawberry etc)
Bacardi Razz (it's a liquer)
Amaretto
Grand Marnier Rouge (too many words)
Shaken Not Stirred (too many words)

[STA]

Since it is winter time - Icy Paws

[Miss J]

French manicure

That is very cute Zu Zu!:lol:

I think Donna of TCF has a colt named Four Feet of Snow:)

[Heineken]

Vail
Snowmass
Sun Valley
Tahoe
Telluride

Any ski resort!

[00pisces]

I like Footnote.

Blush (a red/white wine--may be a bit feminine)
First Blush
Quarto

[gjp]

Red Sox was my first choice also.

[D_BaldStockings]

Badda Bling

[Royal Monaco]

Cosmopolitan (martini with cranberry juice)
Rain boots

Also, chestnut in French is Alezan not Marron. Marron is more often used for brown.

[bits619]

I like the Amaretto suggestion above, but maybe adding a type of dance as well? I think a name of a dance would be a pretty, subtler way of drawing attention to his legs. Waltzing Amaretto or Amaretto Rumba would be nice. Or for that matter Red Rumba :)

I'm a fan of alliteration anyday (heh heh) as a general rule- think it's catchy and memorable and can either be fun or fancy.

Lesseeeehere, which other dances are there...
(from wiki)

Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot (cute if he's a red chestnut), Quickstep (maaaybe not for a hunter!), Samba, Chachacha, Rumba, Paso Doble, Jive, East Coast Swing, Mambo...

[kookicat]

Might be a bit too girly, but what about 'On Pointe'?

[Long Spot]

Spatz fifth avenue

[dbtoo]

Footloose
Footin' the Bill
Fox in Sox
High Tops
Catamaran
Sail On
Lynx
Sugar Foot
Seventy Soxers
Bejeweled
Glitz
Sugarbush
Stowe
(My horse was Killington so you can't use that :)
Mad River
Whiteface
Skating
White Cap

[Mukluk]

I think Sockrates is very clever.

Also Foxin (as in Fox in Sox)

Two pair (poker reference but there are two pair of whites)

Snowbound

Tom Sawyer (obscure but there is the white washing the fence reference)

I'll try to think of more.

[waremares]

Any interest in golf? There is a type of pants that golfers sometimes wear that are like knickers. I think they are called
Plus Fours

[Runinonjoy]

Another vote for Footnote!

[dbtoo]

How about Four on the Floor ?

[mswillie]

Made for Walkin'

I also like go-go boots but probably more for a mare.

[cvl]

I'mtoo Soxy

:)

[MCarverS]

Hand Dipped

[big_fat_pony]

Good luck! Tell us when you pick one!

[mortebella]

[Spooks]

If you want a drink reference for a chestnut horse how about

Campari
