Unusual horse names

I've come across some funny, unusual, and creative names for horses. What horses have you known that have crazy, creative names that you don't see often? I often wonder how they get these names. Do they deserve them or do they just have imaginative owners.

The very first pony that I ever rode was my great uncles pony named Booger. He really didn't deserve that name because he was a sweet little pony but I'm sure that there are many that do deserve that name. A horse that was briefly boarded at my barn was called Six, registered name is Call Me After Six.

My Geldings name is Steve. He was foaled here at home and intended to by my hubbies horse - hubby is obsessed with Steve McQueen. So his registered name is Impressive Steve MacQueen and we call him Steve or Stevie Mac for short.

Many years ago had a friend whose horse was named Weed. Not like marijuana but named because he grew like a Weed when he was young.

I think my gelding's name is pretty unique. His full name is Buenos Aires because his blaze is in the shape of South America. We call him Aires (pronounced like Aries/Ares, the astrological sign and the Greek god of war).

I know an Arab gelding whose name is Kintari. I know another Arab gelding whose registered name is Lika Quasar and his barn name is Siege.

I think his blaze looks like liquid pouring out of a cup. I would have called him Spilled Milk lol I like Buenos Aires better though

I had a gelding named Roskabar Radar. Roska from his dam, Miss Roska Sockes and bar from his Sire who went back to Three Bars. The Radar was from his ears. I thought he was a mule when I first saw him as a baby, but he grew into his ears.

My mare was named Tuesday when I got her, I have no idea why. had I been able to get her registered she would have been Tuesday's Child after the nursery rhyme ("...Tuesday's child is full of grace...") Since I had never known another horse with that name I kept it.

Since then I have come to discover that two more people in my circle of horse friends had a Tuesday or knew one. So unique, no. Uncommon? Definitely.

Let's see there's been Vulcan, Jupiter, Ironman, Raven, Falcadae, Hawkeye, Winter Hawk...the list could go on, and those are just names that I've used/ will use. LOL.

I've also known Pie Boy, Yankee, Roany, Maestro, and Hippie.

My mare's name was Charlie Ann before we got her from the rescue. We changed Charlie to Starlie since she's not a boy and she has a star on her forehead. I think Charlie Ann is an unusual name for a horse - especially the Charlie part for a mare.

I rode a horse named "pony" which was hilarious since she was half draft and about 17.2hh. Also had a friend with a horse named Bullwinkle Express, or Wink for short. Super cool horse, weird name!
When I played polo one of the horses that was donated to the team was named cracker, since he was an all white grey. We renamed him Ritz.
My favorite though, had to be a pony that I got to ride in a pony club rating during our switch ride. He was Radish.

ARRR
Yes, love that one too. Arrr had a huge fan base in the NY area, and he was a favorite of legendary race caller Tom Durkin. Last I heard, after Arrrr was retired, he went on to be a Pony Club or hunter mount for his new owner's daughter. I can't find the article about it.

I keep thinking of other unusual ones. LOL

My BO has a mare named Cabo.

My best friend's filly is named Toui (pronounced Two-ee).

My old BO had a mare named Bobby Socks because she had two short socks on her hind legs.
