We had a pretty good laugh last night with a BNR and his brother at a clinic dinner party.

So, I'm a Glee fan and for the first few seasons I thought their glee club was named "The Noon Erections"
For real, I really really did. It seemed fitting for the show.

I finally found out that they are "The New Directions"

BNT squad is all for me naming him "Neu Direction"
And we can all have a huge laugh when the announcer says it fast and it sounds like Noon Erection. They all thought it sounded like Nude Erection. Either way--that's super dirty and hilarious.

braaahahahahaa!!

Not sure I could handle trotting down center line--and cracking up. I wouldn't be able to regain concentration quite enough. : )

You sound like that Misheardlyricsguy on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLd22ha_-VU

Great party! Horse people are a lot of fun.

[Winding Down]

Laughing out loud! Just read this thread! Love it!

[runNjump86]

LOL!!! Hilarious. Seriously.

[NeverTime]

Hmmm... "New Direction" -- sounds exactly like "Nude Erection" to me. Is that why that boy band is named that!?

[Robby Johnson]

I totally agree with all of your reasons for hating it. I immediately thought of #2. I did not, however, think of "Friends" when you suggested "Fun Bobby." Because I know and love you, I can't give this name suggestion my approval. It a.) sounds like you're 12 and in doing so b.) casts OK into s/s and/or l/s forever and c.) is inspired, but not very creative. It also sounds NOTHING LIKE A HUNTER! You could retain some of his original name as well as link it to your barn name by calling him Blackjack Oak, a legit oak species with really big leaves. Or call him Smelly Cat or Ugly Naked Guy. Your choice.

Smelly Cat!!!
That could very well be a Jockey Club name, there IS a stallion named Judge Smells. Find me a Judge Smells foal from a Storm Cat dam....

I like Fun Bobby. I cracked up at Nude Erections/New Directions and I thought of this clip of Minnie Driver reading a list of rejected race horse names from British Racing Authority.....

Hoof Hearted

Actually, it looks as if the name Hoof Hearted was not rejected in North America.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NPKuyDWt4k

You could call him "Oakie Dokie" since his barn name is Oak. That might get you out of being Okie Dokie II or something on the USEA registration.

Super cute idea!

[purplnurpl]

I'm going to do OKie Dokie.
Since his barn name is OK. (pronounced Oak of course). With the double capital he won't need a II. : )
You guys helped 90%. My friend Emily brought home the last 10% with the capital K.
: )

NeuDirection would be super duper though. lol.

[xcjumper]

Great name!!

And thanks to this thread, I now have a show name for my new guy too! I'm stealing "Central Perk". My boys JC name is Java Jazz and barn name is Java
Thanks to whoever put that one up!!

My poor horse would then have 3 names. His JC. His barn. and then his Show? He'd be confused, no?
And he's a resale. So I would hate for a buyer to then change the name...again because it's a little..well, you know.

But it's pretty damn funny.

[rabicon]

The boy band is one direction not new direction lol. I have a 12 yr old so I know idk if i can listen to it much more though.

Also the fun Bobby I didn't get until someone said something about the drunk that sobered up and then I remembered who it was. I do like okie dokie

Ah, resale. Yeah that changes things. I missed that part. Definitely keep the name for future use though!

OP is referring to the show Glee, not the boy band.

[rabicon]

Someone else mentioned the boy band above. I wasn't referring to op. Sorry for confusion. Or maybe I'm confused still lol
