Location: North of where I want to be | How do you all feel abut changing a registered name? Especially when a horse comes from a big name ranch?
He is only 4 and has no AQHA or FF points yet.

Location: Oklahoma | Your horse, do what you want. I've changed a couple names. My stallion had a name I didn't want passed on as it was dumb, so I changed it. The horses I have now though, I've kept registered names and people know the prefix at the beginning of their names. |

| I have one now that I am planning on changing their name. I personally dislike it when a ranch uses their intials in a registered name, and I also dislike it when the name has absolutley nothing to do with the breeding of the horse. (Which my filly has both of these.) Just my opinion and I'll have it changed on one of mine soon.

Location: North of where I want to be | His name is directly relatted to his breeding in a very generic way. He comes from the Jud Little ranch and I do not want to hurt resale value by changing his name but it really is just 3 words thrown together and its awful. |

I don't mind the PC in front of my horse's name, BUT in the same breath, if it didn't come with the T4 brand on its hip, don't use the PC in the name to make it appear to have come from the Cowan's. Just because it is a grand or great grand of Sun Frost, if the Cowan's didn't breed it or brand it, it should not have the PC in the name. |

Location: North Dakota | For me personally-I think it's kind of silly to waste any effort/money on changing a registered name, however, I ride geldings and don't care AT ALL what their registered name is...... even if its sounds crude when my name is announced at a race and I'm riding "one of the guys" makes some people's eyebrows go up!

I have thought many times about changing it... but I suppose I should probably transfer his papers first (I know I know... ill do it) |

Location: Central Coast Cali | My brother has a little gelding he bought and his registered name is "Hes Fred".... One of the dumbest names I've heard but my brother loves it and it does fit his personality. I would love to know the thought process in naming him that. |

| I changed the rocket mare's name from Streakinsomyonder to Bunny Be Quick. Both names call out her bloodlines, but one is weird and one is catchy. And now I get to incorporate either 'Bunny' or 'Quick' much easier into her foal names. |

| I tried to change a mares name from "Little Miss Loni" http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/little+miss+loni to "Ill Skip the Pie", but ended up not being able to. How they came up with Little Miss Loni I really just have no clue lol If you don't like his name, change it! |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Changed his when I bought him as a yearling. It was Stone Cold Chocolua (I hate wrestling) so I named him Artful Assault. A lot of my horses have some kind of barn/reg name for WWII. His barn name is Audie Murphy and I enter him that way at open shows. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/artful+assault |

| I have a mare that is named Dudewheresmylena - was born somewhere around when that stupid movie came out, and the people that registered her let their 11 year old son name her. I HATE it. I wish I could have changed hers, but she had already been entered in an aqha show, so I couldn't. My other mare who is a complete princess diva, the most girly girl there ever is, was named juan smart king. Which is great as far as referencing her lineage, but it sounds like her name is juan, which sounds like a macho, buff, hispanic man, and that she is not. So, I changed her name, she was 2 and wasn't even broke, so they didn't give me a problem with changing it. |

Location: Desert Land | I would never change a registered name personally and wouldn't like it if someone changed a name I had given a horse. If it was distasteful or offensive, maybe I would understand - but I think I have only heard like 1 or 2 names that I thought..."wow, whoever named that horse was smokin crack". LOL |

Location: Red Raiderland | I have a retired solid Paint that had one of the worst names I had ever heard but I retired him due to injury so I never did change his name.
Here it is and it has NOTHING to do with his breeding.  I think the breeder had no idea what color he was so they just linked three possibilities together: Choco Paladunn

Oops can someone make this link live? I don't know why I can't ever do this when I post on here. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I saw one recently I had sold. They changed her name. I think it is aweful, but not something I will lose sleep over. I had a more generic name, something that contained some bloodlines and fit her well. Theirs is off the wall. But it doesn't offend me. I have mentioned it on previous posts, but I bought one named Rebullion. I thought it sucked. He was to be a stud, so with his Bully Bullion sire and Rebel Cause bred dam, I changed it to Bully Without A Cause. Of course he died 3 days later lol. Bad luck?? hmmmm. Kidding as I have done it since and would do it again.
