We went with names of drinks, Koko, Brandi, Cider, Amaretto. But the newest is a palamino named Paris Hilton. She has quite an attitude.

This is a very interesting topic. Here at the Diamond J Bar B Paints & Quarters, The J stands for Judy and the B is for Bobby, I purchased Bold Dancing Mist a nice mare breed to DJS Gold Mine that was in foal. I named him Snickers because while I was halter breaking him he always snickered. But his two choices were Diamond J bar B # 1 because he was the first colt born on our place after we came up with our ranch name. . And the second choice was Diamond J - B Snickers . So Snickers became his nickname. My Palomino is a golden color and his name was Nugget when I purchased him, Aint no April fools was shorten to April, A black gelding we called him Buck because he Bucked every time you rode him, Gramps was an old retired roping horse, and if rode very hard would become sore and reminded me of an old man so Gramps became his name, Limo was a Paint filly I bought that was as long as a stretched Limo, O So Smooth is a last years filly out of Smooth Rebel and by O So Leo, and at this time has many nicknames,

Boy, this can of worms can be lenghty. I have a paint stud named Diamond Snicker. Nicknamed: Snickers. Not related to anything much more than my daughters name Diamond, that lives in CO and Snickers because he always did when I came to the barn. His dad was DJS Gold Mine and mom was Bold Dancing Mist. Bold Dancing Mist, I did not name, her dad was Bold Thomas and mom Dancing Mists Alibi. Nicknamed: Dancer. Sheza Smokin Mist is my yearling filly out of Dancer and her dads name was Heza Centerfold Dzyn. Hence since she is a filly why I named her Sheza, the Mist came from her moms name and Smokin because I think she has that look about her and she's a smokish gray and getting darker as the time goes. Nickname: Sheza Mambo Oso Leo is a filly which her dad was Oso Leo and mom Ms Bandido Mamboleo. Nickname: Mambo. Ms Bandido Mamboleo was named when I bought her from the Wagon Wheel Ranch. Her dad is Thirty Four Leo and mom Miss Sugar Band Leo. When looking down the pedigree the Bandido came from the sire of Miss Sugar Band Leo. Hence Bandido Leo. The Mambo portion came from the dads sire. Hence: Charlie Mambo. Her nickname is Bandi. I have given this mare to my daughter but it's still on my place and her name is CFour Double Perfect. Her dad is HF Perfect Pastime and mom is Moon Chant War Chip. Looking back into her pedigree there's no connection to the CFour or the word Double. Her nickname is Savannah. Indigo Jet Lightning is my black and white pictured on my profile and his dad is Kings Leo Mac and mom is Nifty Sunny Bar. The Indigo part came from the dads dam name which was Taris Indigo. The Jet part has no relation to any pedigree names and neither does Lightning. My truck has him running through water with lighting shooting over his head and he has a white marking that resembles a lightning bolt. Nickname: Lightning Royal King Van Rastus is a sorrel tobiano who's dad is King Van Rustus and mom Katie Do. With names in his pedigree such as his dad's name and SS King Rastus, Rellims Flitbar, Miss Regal, Rellims Best, Salt Dome, Nepal, Buda Lady, he was destined to be called Royal and the rest of his name is the same as his dad. Nicknamed: Royal Dart Vader Bar was named in 88 when star wars was pretty heavy. His dad is Black Bar Pine and mom Missy Amanda. Dart was the marking he had on his nose when born. It was a prominent reddish marking that pointed downwards on his nose. He's a blood bay and turns almost black in the winter after his dad. Vader was taken from the star wars movie. Hence: Dart Vader instead of Darth Vader and Bar in his name came from his dad. I don't think I forgot anyone. I reakon 8 is enough and have two on the way. Quite a accomplishment since I used to have 16.

lol willie..... that last one is as good as "Whoa Dammit"

Everyone has heard me talking bout my horse, Willie..surprise where I came up with my ES name, huh? LOL. He's known to AQHA as Quixote Go Te..just LOVE that name, its his breeding too. Daddy was a Top 5 (non-Impressive) halter horse named Johnny Go Te and Mom was Keeno Quixote (he's linebred right back to Doc Bar thru her). Now Goofball..or Charlie (he actually answers to both)is registered as Shock Time Charlie..he's by Zippos After Shock. Keep teasing my coach, that his name should be Charles "Pain in the A** Bailey. Did I mention my coach's last name is Bailey?? LOL A local breeder up her has a mare whose AQHA name is Aftica. It actually means...Another F***ing Thing I Can't Afford!

We have a solid paint mare that we would have registered as Callie's Little Rose but we never registered her. We call her Rosie any way. Her dam's mother's registered name is Missy's Callie Rose and called Callie. We have a solid black mustang yearling named Eli. We felt this was a strong cowboy name. After we had him for a while we almost renamed him Elvis. With the black coat, dark eyes and the fact that when he gets mad about something he curls one side of his nostril and lip up we thought it appropriate, but we stuck with Eli. We are also fostering a black and white gelding named ShaKoTae. Don't know if it means anything, but we call him Cody. He's the old man of the group.
