Need Help Naming Fillies

[Pedigree Ann]

I do a lot of research on human pedigrees (medieval noble families) as well as horses and I find that the names women had in those days were much different from those in use today. Some would make nice horse names, like:

Helisende and its cognates Alissante and Alixante
Achillande
Aminiane
Faquilene
Audearde
female versions of Guy - Guyotte, Guiote, Guyonne, Guigonne
Gaucienne
Faydide
Senegonde
Jaucerande, also spelled Josserande

These are all French forms, so the final 'e' is silent in each.

Allegory's taken, cute but taken. You'd need to put a word in front of it--you could opt for Eastern Allegory for example. For those that want to do a quickie check on their name availability: http://www.registry.jockeyclub.com/r...esrch&rand=813

I found the term "Bird Parliament" when I tried to work with Storm Bird and the idea of allegory. It's the title of a translation by the poet Edward Fitzgerald who did the translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. I'll come up with some more in a little bit. I love doing these. Bird Parliament isn't my absolute fave or best effort but it's a fun meaning and is actually kinda deep. I like names with stories, as opposed to the horses I just saw on TVG 'Takemywife Please' and 'Fillycreamcheese'

Looking at the picture of the Two Punch filly ...

Please help me if you can. You don't necessarily have to use the breeding in your name choice. Any beautiful name will do. LOL

Photos of each are attached to this post. (I hope)

Please reply to my personal email = kp@gate.net

Filly one:

Chestnut Filly:
Sire = "Two Punch" (Mr. Prospector)
Dam = "Intend To Win" (Housebuster)



Filly two:

Chestnut Filly:
Sire = "Exploit" (Storm Cat)
Dam = "Eastside Ballad" (Saint Ballado)


Thanks in advance for any help.

If you hate race-callers, how about 'Cinnamon Synonym'? Under 18 leters.

We don't necessarily need to base the name on the breeding. But don't YOU have your father's last name?

OH yeah I'll let everyone know what was chosen by the owner. actually, I was planning to post the list of what I have so far. I have over 200 names and not sure if I'd be allowed to do that here.

What's the best way to upload the list to this forum?

Good Morning markyD

Humm,, I've already submitted the list to the owner. I had to have them in by last night. I'll add them to the database in case he gives me more time- but I don't think so. I think the "Exploit" filly is getting close to a race and he has to get her named in a hurry. Thanks very much. Those are beautiful names.
