This contest has ended. Stay tuned for the winner and the colt’s new name!
Note: This is a time-sensitive contest (5 days). My daughter is anxious to name and register the big guy. So this naming contest runs from Thursday, March 30 and closes Monday, April 3, @ 5pm Pacific Time. Winner announced on Wednesday, April 4. Kristel and her ten-year-old daughter, Kristi, will pick the name. Make it a good one, fans! He will be half-registered because of his sire, Rubicon.
It’s time to name the new arrival. Remember last June, when I hosted a naming contest for Minnie Mae’s new colt? Here is that post >> “Colton” was the winning name.
The new colt is a palomino with no blazes or socks. Pure palomino coloring (which will turn golden in a year) and a cream mane and tail, which will most likely turn white in a year. Palomino foals are not much to look at the first few months, but this little guy will be super flashy when he gets his color. Here are a couple of pictures of him.
It is very important to leave your email address before you submit your comment and name suggestion. Two entries tied in the Colton contest, but Patience W. never left an email address so sadly, I could not contact her, so she did not reap the benefits of choosing the winning name “Colton” (along with Donvan, the other winner). So, don’t forget to follow the rules for posting your name.
Prize
My daughter and her family will choose the name they like best from your suggestions. This will be the stable name. The foal has a fancy, registered name that must follow certain protocols, but nobody will ever call the foal by the registered name. That’s why he needs a fun nickname (stable name). The winner will receive the following prizes: Color by Number set✏️ 40 beautiful pony stickers 🐎and a fun pair of horse socks. (If a boy wins, he can gift the socks to a sister.) 🧦
If two or more entries choose the same name, I will have a random drawing to determine the winner. So, a word to the wise. Try not to duplicate another entry’s submission. It only decreases your chances of winning.
I think his name should be Ishmael. It’s not to flashy or pretty, but humble. I believe he will be a good horse.
Sunbeam. You could call him Sunny for short.
@Hannah, the name Zephyr is sooo pretty! I love it!
My idea for a name is Jasper. Why? I have no idea XD.
A beautiful name for this little guy would be Sunshine, Sunny for short😊
“Autumn” is our idea. It may sound like a girl but just is a fall name. (And the name of our daughter’s similar colored boy gerbil)
My idea is Starlight.
Mango
Golden Cloud
Buckeye, Bucky for short.
Pal
Mocha
One of my sisters thinks Franc.
Oh, and her name is Jubilee.
Trigger! After Roy Roger’s famous horse! 😊
I’ll say Easton! He is such a beautiful colt!!
My brother thinks Jasper
My other brother thinks Trigger
And my sister thinks Tucker. Thanks so much, Mrs. M!!
I choose Starlight
My name suggestion is Davion. If you’ve read The Wingfeather Saga, Davion Wingfeather becomes Gnag the Nameless and I think that would be a funny nod to this little guy’s nameless state, while still giving him a cuter name. Also, if anyone hasn’t read the Wingfeather Saga I highly recommend it as good Christian Fantasy—Andrew Peterson is a great author!
And they just finished the first season of the Wingfeather Saga tv series, which is such fun. 🤩🥰
Here are some of my family members’ guesses.
Elizabeth- Snowflack (Flacky)
Titus- Coconut
Noah- Cupcake
Gideon- Silver
Alison- Snickerdoodle
Joel- Pie
Joe-Carmaldrop
Sorry about there being so many votes. Congratulations on the foals. They are so cute. (My sister Grace will vote later she doesn’t know on what name she will do yet.) Thanks a lot. it’s a lot of fun.
It’s fine, so long as it’s only one name per person. 😉
Apollo
That’s one that I was going to suggest, tho I could only pick one, so I ended up not haha XD
Grace- Snowball
I love his ears they are so long. His so little.
~Cowgirl~
Diamond Rio
Marshmellow
Sunny! (Like Taffy’s colt in the books! )
Sahara
I think Nugget suits him.
I think he should be named Jasper. It means “Bearer of Treasure” and because of his coloring, he will look golden, thus “bearing treasure”.
Do you mind telling me a bit of his personality so far? Just for brainstorming.
he’s too little to say much, but so far he is a calm, gentle, friendly foal and very laid back. And very oral. He licks everything and wants to suck our fingers.
Aw, that’s adorable!
I think Pal is cute because he is a palomino and he looks so sweet and friendly.
Donzer Lee
“by the dawn’s early light”
Sir Dawn
Scarlett’s Shimmering Sun
(call him Sunny)
If I am allowed to do what my family thinks would be possible names my mom suggested Dexter, Dix for short! 🙂
Yes, that’s fine. 😉
Sunny like Taffy’s colt!
Chester
I chose Stardust because when the colt is older he’ll be the color of a star.And the dust part,STARDUST sounds nice.
martin
Gold Dust
My other sister, Didi says Cody.
Anthony!
Honey
My brother Jordan says GoldNugget
He loves all of the Goldtown series and thought of Jem’s dog, GoldNugget😉🤠
My little brother Isaac suggests Timmy
Sunshine
Pyramid
My name idea is Prince Caspian!! As in the Narnia books. Nickname: Prince OR Casp. Great name ideas everyone!
Sundown, I know that Sunup would be a more popular name, but Sundown sounds different.
You could nane him Cirrus like the cloud
Swirly because of his double whorl. (And because he looks like he’s going to have some athletic moves as he gets bigger!)
Chester
sorry this is in here twice. For some reason I have two different logins and it submitted it for both log ins.
I was submitting the name Chester for my daughter Anastasia.
Great!
