New name for my new Appaloosa horse?

Question

I'm trading my QH gelding for an Appy mare. Her registered name is Simply Paradise and her aka name is Angel. It's not ironic or anything, she's a great horse but ive never been a fan of those kinds of names like angel, precious, baby etc... Since she's an appy I'm thinking of giving her an indian tribe name. First off do you think its okay to change her name? I'm not sure if she knows her name enough to come to it or how long they have called her Angel. But I want her to have a unique name ya know?

Answer 4

Sorry but I really like Apple Cider and I don't know what it means but I also like Lakota. Just from the picture I couldn't fit any name that made me go 'oh yeah'. Comanche is nice but for a gelding not a mare and Apache is awesome sounding except around where I live (Australia) there is a gas company called Apache and one of their plants went kaboom, so I don't really think it fits. Good luck choosing though, and the name will catch on.

Answer 7

d**n, she's pretty.

Dunno about the tribe names, but the first name that jumped out at me was Cinnamon.  Sinny would be a good/easy call for her.

You love horses, she'll catch on to the new name quick.  As far as Indian tribes, Lakota has always stuck out as a pretty name for me.
