Help me name my breed?
-
I have never played with the breeds feature of premium because I cannot for the life of me decide what to name my breeds. This is a lasting choice, people! I have to make sure it's good! With that in mind, it's time to crowdsource (so I can use the BCs!)
My lines are:
A even breeding line of warmbloods, focusing on a silver brown with lots of darkening. Ideal horses for this line look like this:
AAB G3 Draco Malfoy
G5 BIP Star of the Show
G3 sup mush 11017136
This line has historically been called my "Plata" line - Spanish for silver. I don't love that for my breed name, but I would love to play on the idea of silver dollar/silver coin/silver! The founding sire for them was a WolfDen guy named Dragon, so there is a lot of Draconic naming here too!
Line two is DJK. This is heavy drafts, bootstrapped.
DJK DJK SIRE9042503
(I have a type, don't look at me.)
I couldn't tell you why I called the line DJK orignally - it was something that I was positive no one else had as a prefix, because it was half of a keysmash. This was 2020 or so, mind you.
Line three is roan tobianos with lots of belton spotting on warmbloods. This is an era based line.
E13 Slice O Paradise
The founding sire was a Paradise Play HH, so my names have gone along with that!
Line four is a bootstrap Gulastra Plume line on warmbloods, building off of the Tough in the Wildlands line (thank you, Wildland Acres!).
Tough Champ
I've used a lot of Tough in their naming, but it doesn't have to stick.
The plata line is the one I am most in need of a name for, since I want to try the new BCs with them!
If you suggest something I use, I am happy to design a tattoo for ya!Thanked by 1Summervine -
I know these are not silvery themed. (Kinda the season for them though) Peiskos- noun- the feeling you get when you sit in front of a fireplace and enjoy its warmth. Or perhaps Rudeneja- verb- the way that nature and or the weather begins to feel like autumn.
-
Libertad - a Mexican silver coin.
-
For your bootstraps, I found a couple of cool words with d, j and k in them.
Adjika-
An adjika is hot, spicy but subtly flavoured paste often used to flavour food, mainly in the Caucasian regions of Abkhazia and Samegrelo.
Judoka-
A judoka is a practitioner of the Japanese martial art of judo.
Jackdaw-
A jackdaw is a European bird (Coloeus monedula) of the crow family, often nesting in church towers and ruins.
They're pretty random! :))Id# 51088
I have a ridiculous need to collect Red, white and blue herd helpers!Thanked by 1whywishesarehorses -
Hephaestus, is the Greek God of metal, for the silver draft line.
Brigit is the Celt goddess of silver.
Celebron, is from the lord of rings trilogy, it means, silver tree.
Random: S names:
Steelshadow,Sythaeryn,Silvershield,Silverstrike,
Skoriaan,Sunsoar,Shimmaryn,
D.j.k/tough line:
Kael,Kallico,Kyros,Kevaara
Jaheira,Janderys,Janaldren,Jendrellian
Dakara,Derathar,Danuvian,Daggerford -
I've always loved the word "argent", which is latin for silver. You could play with it, like Argento Argentium., etc.

@newamber I am definitely going to use one of those for DJK! I dig them - it may be Jackdaw!
@BoredCowgirl I think I am going to go with Libertad for the Plata line - it fits with the theme and the tattoo I designed!
I would happily make both of you tattoos if you would like!
Thank you to the rest of you as well! -
I need a tattoo for my DeadLot breed… are you familiar with any of the art/symbolism associated with the band Grateful Dead?
-
Thank you!
If possible I'd like a clock face loosely based off the sunrunes gene, (It doesn't have to be crazy detailed!) This fella probably has the clearest example in my herd.

@BoredCowgirl I bet I could pull off Stealie, or a 13 point lightning bolt, or the 'dancing' bears! What floats your boat?
@NewAmber on it! Ornate clock face it is! -
How about the 13 point bolt on the classic red and blue circle background? If you can pull that off within a Stealie, all the more awesome! Thank you! :D
