Not gonna lie, a little relieved that the name Bodemeister isn't gonna be on that list either. Sounds like a frat nickname.

In defense of Sir Barton. The "Sir" is in there, plus Bart sounds like Bard as in Shakespeare.
"Bart" rhymes with "fart." Heh. Because, deep down, I am a 9-year-old.

My husband says Whirlaway sounds like an amusement park ride. I told him it was still a good name, shut up. (But yeah, it does.)

Agree about Bodemeister, though I really like the horse.
