Help me name my pixel ponies!
-
Hey friends,
So as I mentioned in a post I made just minutes ago haha, I have gotten quite behind on this game and a little discouraged with how unorganized I am. Part of that is how behind I am in naming my horses! I feel strongly about naming each of my breeding horses as to me that gives them a character and an identity that makes the game a lot more fun - but it sure is hard to come up with enough unique names lol!
So I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone would like helping me name the lot of horses I'm behind on naming! This isn't a naming "content," and as such I won't promise or guarantee any sort of compensation for offering a name I choose, nor will I be able to be in this thread "announcing" which names I pick or anything like that. However, if you take the time to go through my horses and help me out, please also take a look at my stallions and if you would like straws from anybody just shoot me a direct message and I would be more than happy to send you some for pull price or less as a thank you for taking the time to help :)
All that being said - here's the criteria I usually go through for naming:
-Foundations: Anything goes, I love pop culture references of any kind! Lyrics, quotes, film references etc.
-Lined horses: I try to name them something related to their lineage. This can either be some kind of "combination" of the sire or dam's name, or a name fitting the "theme" of names earlier in their lineages. For example, I have a sire named Aspen who has a whole bundle of foals named after trees :)
-If there's a cool name for a lined horse I might use it even if it doesn't fit the criteria in the bullet above, I'm not too strict haha
-I do NOT put any abbreviations, labels, etc. in my horse's names except my FTF suffix. I use tattoos to delineate lines, gens etc. so no need for that in the name!
-I use the random name generator for my show herd, but prefer to name my breeding horses more intentionally, hence why I made this thread :) You are welcome to use the random generator when offering suggestions but if the names are too off the wall I probably wont use them for my breeding horses.
Alright with all that being said - here is the link to my ponies that need names:
Post the horse(s) in your comment with your proposed name(s) for them.
Thank you for anyone willing to help! I hope this is something fun folks can do to kill time (and help me out lol!) while we wait for the new breeding season :)Post edited by FlyingTurkeyFarm at 2020-05-31 11:07:44 -

Tikbalang!
The Tikbalang is a mythological Filipino creature that looks like a tall, gangly humanoid horse thing, and it's a trickster associated with deep dark woods and leading travelers astray to get lost. Fits with both parents' legends, I think

Oh my gosh everyone, I can't believe you helped me get all caught up! :-O Thank you so, so much! It is a huge relief for all these ponies to now have names! :x
I've decided to use that "done ID#" name for any of my horses moving forward who have been tested and tattooed but not named - which is to say, the link in the OP on this thread will continue to show any of my ponies that need names. If you're ever bored and like naming pixel ponies, track down this thread and try the link again! I'm sure if I ever get so behind again I will make a new thread :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you again. :x
