Provide horse names on "Breed horse" page.

I would love for the "Breed Horse" page to be updated to show the names of both potential parents in big writing above their images.

After you click on "Breed a mare to this stallion" or "Breed a stallion to this mare" on the horses page, it brings you to this page with a dropdown list for "Eligible horses" and for "Crossbreeding", with images below of each of the mare + stallion that you've selected to breed.

My issue is that nowhere on this page does it say the name of the horse whose page you went through, aka the 2nd parent!

e.g. Lets say I want to breed Brian to Abigail. I click on Brian's page, and then press "Breed a mare to this stallion".

I'll be able to see Abigail's name once I select her from the dropdown, but I can't see Brian's name anywhere. 

What if I had accidentally gone through John's page, the identical evil twin of Brian and proceeded with the breeding just based off of the image? Yikes!

Having the image of the 2 potential parents is good, but we should have the names too!
This will help:
- people who misremember what horses breed page they're on
- people with big herds who don't have the image of every horse memorised
- people with small herds who don't have the image of every horse memorised 
- people with >1 Grey/White horse of the same breed (all are identical so image = useless)

and anyone who doesn't want to spend pointless time triple checking that they're on the right page to ensure they don't make a catastrophic mistake with their breeding plans.

I don't want to have to click "preview foal" to double check that the parents are correct, I should just be able to see it on the original page. Breeding horses is exciting, but needing to go to a new page to check that you're not going to make a catastrophic error is just annoying. 

If images of the 2 potential parents can be shown on the Breed Horses page, then the names should be easy to show as well. 

I'm keen to hear thoughts from everyone else! Personally I feel like this is something that should've always been on the page and was maybe just forgotten about.

SUPPORT SUPPORT! 

I am so paranoid every time I have to breed more than one pair.
I have no way to confirm I am on the right horse's tab due to having no name. It's extra stressful when the horses are identical. I often had to check the tab I am on repeatedly to ensure that I am breeding the right horse.

Support, haven't made the mistake in a while but it's super easy to make and I still double check too. 

Support, do easy to make a mistake here. Constantly double and triple checking. 

Ty for support and for confirming I'm not crazy for checking this so many times! Yesterday I bred 5 pairs and it was annoying, in 12 weeks I will be breeding 33 pairs in a single day and I *shudder* to think of the time it will take to triple check 33 breedings. 

I support but I ALWAYS click to see possible breeding results to double check that I have the correct horse!

@Feather
Good choice with the current system (I will probably have to do the same) but it shouldn't be necessary. The logic of having the photo but not the name is beyond me.

Support! Though what I always do is just click 'Preview Foal', and the names come up as "Possible Foal of ____ and ____", with clickable names :P

Now that we have grade horses I think this would be a very helpful addition!

@Kali imagine if you didn't have to click an extra time though! I'd love to have clickable names for the parents to be above the images.

yes! I always do the extra click juuuust to be sure, but if it were already there I'd absolutely love it :D
