Title: New arrival needs name :)
Post by: roddycm on November 13, 2015, 01:53:36 pm
My lovely mare Mimosa had a foal on the 11th. A gorgeous little fiery redhead (filly). She seems to be quite a character already, she's going to be a little firecracker for sure! I have waited for this little girl for a long time, and carefully planned the nuptials by the moon to try and ensure I got a girl... I don't know if it was the moon or just by chance but it worked and here she is. Now she needs a name! What's a good name for a strong willed little chestnut?

Here is a link to a photo on FB as I can't seem to upload a photo on here.

Mum went through a protracted phase of referring to this or that as "feisty" which she pronounced "feasty" which I think was once an olde english term for flatulent and appears to now be used when referring to an extremely attractive woman.. how times change.

I know! Her legs go on and on! Her mum is over 16hh and her legs are almost the same length haha. I've just been watching her race around the field with a very worried mum close behind. Warm sunny day here so she is really enjoying life!

Thanks for all the name suggestions!!

I had a look at types of carrot :


Then, ginger Ginger is a flowering plant in the family Zingiberaceae, full name Zingiber officinale Roscoe, so that suggested


And other fiery feisty names:


And names belonging to redheads or related to being a redhead:

Well I don't know what to say, as for flatulent....i have ulcerative colitis so I suppose my name fits from another angle
How about Boudicca, now there was a redhead with attitude

How about Gabrielle - although it means bringer of good news it reminds me of Dante Gabriel Rosetti who painted all of the beautiful pre-Raphaelite redheads

Thanks for taking the time to suggest names  :horse:  :excited:

I used a moon phase calculator. The idea being you aim for service under a female moon. This Web site explains it in simple terms :) nothing to lose and it worked for me! I had the stallion close by so that helped a lot!
