That's a good one... I'd put it as Makeitduenorth or something silly... haha. This is fun. I'd have a heck of a good time naming racehorses if I ever had the money to own a few.

i think it'd be easier naming the exploit/eastern ballad than the other--so many ways to go with it... get out the thesaurus on that for sure. i told my daughter maybe something with minaret or temple, or chant--so many ways to tie in ballad, and maybe an asian influence for eastern. but she liked allegory. have to admit i do too. but i like those one word, to the point names.

So do I... if they were colts, they would have to have 3 syllable names, though. Haha

Allegory's taken, cute but taken. You'd need to put a word in front of it--you could opt for Eastern Allegory for example. For those that want to do a quickie check on their name availability: http://www.registry.jockeyclub.com/r...esrch&rand=813

I found the term "Bird Parliament" when I tried to work with Storm Bird and the idea of allegory. It's the title of a translation by the poet Edward Fitzgerald who did the translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. I'll come up with some more in a little bit. I love doing these. Bird Parliament isn't my absolute fave or best effort but it's a fun meaning and is actually kinda deep. I like names with stories, as opposed to the horses I just saw on TVG 'Takemywife Please' and 'Fillycreamcheese'

I do a lot of research on human pedigrees (medieval noble families) as well as horses and I find that the names women had in those days were much different from those in use today. Some would make nice horse names, like:

Helisende and its cognates Alissante and Alixante
Achillande
Aminiane
Faquilene
Audearde
female versions of Guy - Guyotte, Guiote, Guyonne, Guigonne
Gaucienne
Faydide
Senegonde
Jaucerande, also spelled Josserande

These are all French forms, so the final 'e' is silent in each.
