Are you more likely to look at a horse with bloodlines in their name? I have a bunch of cute names, but wonder if I should make sure the lines are represented in the name. I admit I am guilty of clicking on ads when I see the lines I like, but some of names I want don't fit when you include the bloodline names. Are you hurting sales of nice lines when you have an original name?

I don't think so. I name them either way. I have with terrible names so putting them in there won't help. I also click on a name if I see something I like (Perry or Jess for Mr Jess Perry etc), but I always click on any if the gender and age and price are right to see pedigree. So if no pedigree in the ad, I move on and don't bother to call or email. Too many horses out there to look at to try and figure out later which one I have emailed about and not received a response.
