Hello! I took about a weak break from the game, only to return still addicted. I've decided to stick with my Dutchies but am uncertain about what name theme I should stick to. I was considering Latin flower names (or just flower names) for the mares and island/land form names for stallions. That is, since I like nature related names. So any ideas or input? Also, I would love to learn about how everyone else names their horses. Last edited on 2016-07-13 at 10:38:04 by ℓiℓo

My names come to me in the moment, so they don't really follow a theme. The only horses I have that could be said to have a theme would be my dwbs which mostly have "geeky" or "nerdy" inspirations to their names.

Name themes are fun! And yours sound really cool. I don't know much about Latin flower names but I bet they're pretty awesome. And with the island counterparts you'll have a regular Island getaway in your stables xD

I am still working on my first gen of thoroughbreds, but their names did follow a theme, though I thought of changing the theme every generation. But the theme, or more so just where they get their names, was popular songs (or songs I like).

Thanks everyone for posting. You all have very lovely names for your horses! insomniaglet, I really love your random names; they are all so cute. I especially love Canine Unit and Punnet Squares because they are so unique. I would never think of those when naming my horses. Sabriel, that's true! I never thought of it that way; an island getaway. I really like that. cx Oh, I really like your name themes; especially the dictionary references. I always like fancy words that have cool meanings. Such as Sub Rosa, which means happening in secret. And villain names; that's cool too! Agapi, naming horses after favorite songs is always fun! I like how your names are all different but yet go well together. I also like how each horse has a nickname that goes prefectly with their name. And I can't pick just one as my favorite, cause all their names are all so good! Last edited on 2016-07-13 at 10:37:48 by ℓiℓo

Thank you! Name themes are super fun to come up with, it's sometimes hard to stick to just one! I actually didn't know what sub rosa until watching Mysteries of Laura recently, the victim's "secret" was literally under the dead in the house! a super cool play on words. I also have a line with my Trakes that all have names where the word take is substituted with trake, it's amazing how many phrases you can come up with that way!

Those are some nice ideas, Note_Skeet_N_Star. c:
You're welcome, Sabriel! Word plays are always interesting, and your trake substituted idea is really cool. Haha, thank you. I've been browsing the internet looking for some interesting island names. I will most likely go with my first idea, flower names for mares and island names for stallions. My Island Getaway Dutchie line. cx
