Foal naming game

[tammysinnett]

Well we play this patiently waiting the arrival of our new foals...if anyone cares to participate....here you go.......
foal 1---

Dam Booties(Seattle Morn/ Overshoe) Sire Summit Climber(Mr.Greeley/Peak)
We thought about keeping with tradition of her mother...naming after shoes only instead naming all her babies with the word Sole...
We have come up with SUMHEARTNSOLE,RUGGEDSOLE,MOUNTAINSOLE,SUMBOOTIFULSOLE,

foal2----
Dam Bad Cattiude(Notable Cat/Blitchon) Sire Summit Climber(Mr.Greeley/Peak)

her first foal we are nominating as SUMBADCAT,this will be her full brother or sister
thought since it is a love story between our stallion and her that we would name with the word Sum..for Summit...so we came up with SUMSAYLOVE,SUMWAYSUMDAY, my son being a footbal player wants to name it IRONHOUSEand call it Harvey in the barn after his weight lifting coach and gym.I have a barn name picked I really want to call it if its a boy Rocky...but if boots has a boy we could call her baby that for Mountain Sole????
Well goodluck and have fun!!!

No one in the mood to play

Um, well I, personally, don't care for those all-one-word (run together) names.

They seem intended to trip up race callers.. of course that's only if the foal is going to race.

[geowarrior]

I was actually thinking the same as Madelyn but I didn't want to seem negative, since having new foals to name must be a real joy. I've never thought about it before but there was one called Makeithapencaptain running in a race one of my horses was in (and yes I have spelled the name correctly). I did visualize the caller trying that and felt quite bad for him. I did think of Climbing Bootie but I wasn't too impressed with myself. BTW is that too many characters?

[amanda1]

Jockey Club allows 18 characters.

No offense, but I agree with the alloneword folks. It can be a bit much. We have a horse in our barn named Teeithiandletitfly, and every time I have to write or type his name I get a pang of annoyance. I think it's a cute name, I am just sick of writing it!

I do like SUMDAYSUMWAY (Sum Day Sum Way, Sumday Sumway?) I think that's catchy. Kinda takes into account the whole "chasing dreams" aspect of racing. And I like SUMBOOTIFULSOLE (again, maybe SUM spaces?).

Good Luck and Happy Foaling!

I don't usually shore up the naming process until I have an individual in front of me, or at least on the ground. I find that I've subconsciously been hoping for a horse of the wrong gender for the name, or that the name I pick no longer seems to fit this particular babe once he/she presents himself. And if I pick the name out early, and don't reserve it in advance, then the name is taken by someone else when I'm ready.

I like your choices, by the way. Just keep checking availability before submitting the requests.

That's about my only suggestion, my brain got fried in the race to survive until Spring Break (which I have for the next week).
