Re: [RC] naming baby - Lysane CreeThe best way I think to name a baby (foal, that is) is to see how it looks and especially its personality when its born. I didn't name my Paint filly at birth, but I ended up changing her name when I bought her as a weanling. She was first registered as Holly Chex but this name just did not speak to me and seemed blah, boring. I kept thinking of something I had read too about a good horse never had a bad name or something like that (it was a saying referring to racehorses I think). Anyway, we were talking about it at home and considering her name change. The name Mae came up because this elderly lady we knew had recently passed away. Then my boyfriend said Mae West. It sounded good but I didn't know much about Mae West, so I looked her up on the internet. And her feisty attitude, liberal views in a time where showing cleavage was practically criminal, etc. reflected my filly's own dominant and feisty personality. I wanted to add a little something that reflected her pedigree and so I added Holliday at the end of her name to reflect her sire's family line (also a "Hollywood" type name that went well with Mae West. And so she became Mae West Holliday (Mae for short). Now the name means something to me.
