Well I know this isn’t elegant but you could always call her “Red headed Stepchild!” My Chestnut OTTB Mare’s JC name is “A True Angel” it just stuck. I call her Angel, Bangle, and Princess Poop-a-lot. I agree to wait until she names herself.

She could be named after any type of hot sauce. Google to be dazzled with hot sauce names!!!

I’ve had a couple and the first thing that came to my mind was Beelzebub LOL

Scarlet Fever

Oh YES. love that movie, and a great name…

I quite like Red Hot Momma!

Scarlette

Movie? I thought it referred to the football team :winkgrin:, or, rather, any of the collegiate teams of the University of Alabama.

I’m so drawn to bays I can’t see myself ever getting a chestnut so I’ll give you my chestnut mare name…Nutmeg. Call her Meg or Meggie for short? Not sure about a show name…

Or after a red wine? Zinfandel (Zin), or How about Original Zin?

Or how about “Red” in a different language?

Rojo (Spanish pronounced Row- hoe)
Rounge (French)
Rosso (Italian)
Rouge (French)

But I don’t advise the German, Rot (pronounced Rowt- but English speakers would say it as Rot as in rotten… of course depending on her personality…) :smiley:

Like it! Rioja would be a great name, but you would have to grit your teeth for ever listening to it being pepronounced Reee oh. Ja

I suppose it is a good idea to provide phonetic pronunciation of name where name could be announced if pronunciation isn’t obvious from the spelling.

Tara
Sedona
Red Velvet
Lady in Red
Red Dawn
Fire Ball
Infrared

If you’re a Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire fan:

Melisandre - aka the Red Woman/Red Priestess that counseled Stannis Baratheon

Well if the horse in question were a Gelding,
He could be…

CLIFFORD the big red horse!!!
