There was a religious woman who bred quarter horse near where I grew up. She had one named Amen Revival, and another that had Preacher in his name.
My favorite AQHA name; Costa Plenty Chex

Mine is Daddy Pays Da Bills. Especially appropriate for a youth horse.

Ah, that old childrenās song, Skip to My Lou, My Darling. Fond memories of elementary school, singing it in class while holding hands in a circle. I think there was a dance to it?

My former QH had a grandsire from the olden super racist days. He was a big, black stallion with the name Big N*****.
I aināt typing that but yāall can look it up LOL
I think that a lot of registered horse names make sense if we understand them. On a similar thread a while ago, many of the names that people ridiculed were actually quite clever; the people just didnāt understand them.

A friend of mine had a horse out of a mare named EKMs Bunny Mackay (granddaughter of Bunny Bid). She wanted to stay with the Bunny theme so named the foal Rabbit Redux. She had to get permission from John Updike to do it. Her first choice was Rabbit Run, but they wouldnāt let her.
She named another horse Ramblin Jack after Ramblin Jack Elliot. One day when he was in town for a concert, her husband sent him a message and he came out to the barn for dinner and then took his guitar in the barn and sang to the horse. It was really cool!
My best horse was Penny Hemp, by Hemp. I wanted to name her foal Nickle bag 
Actually I let my nephews name her and she was Mercedes Hemp

There was a good STB racehorse named Nicklebag, and another (not quite as good) named Dimebag here in Ontario. Wrong breed, but couldnāt help but comment.

I know one mare here, her name IS chicken sandwich
Iām currently horse shopping for a nice ranch riding horse, and came across a cremello gelding. His sire line included several horse with the word āpaleā in their names. Keeping with that theme, this horseās name was supposed to be Iām Paled. Or at least I hope.
But on the papers it was spelled as one word: Impaled.
Like, stuck hanging on a pointy object.

Poor guy. We had an old lesson horse many years ago who when registered, the association misread the (then handwritten) application. So instead of Border Patrol, he was Borden Patrol. Stuck with him his whole life, since he was ancient when I knew him.

AQHA hasnāt allowed things like apostrophes in years. That might be what happened with this one. Maybeā¦
If he hasnāt been shown, you might be able to change it.
