A couple of other suggestive TB names:
Isitingood (this was a good horse)
and, from the same owner:
Loveagainsttherail, a filly named for one of her owner’s late night exploits out at the track.
One of my horse’s siblings was listed on Canter not all that long ago. His name was “Dylan Dangerous.” Rather unfortunate.
My own horse’s Jockey Club name is Isleshowthedevil.
I dragged home a piebald who was so ring sour that it was me or the meat wagon named Tux - my husband promptly renamed him Privateprobablywon’tmakeit after the penguin on Madagascar.
Here’s another couple…
Daring Dude, often the announcers would call him Darling Dude… lol
My QH mare’s name is Shesa Tivito, a conglomeration of Poco Tivio, an the “Shesa” lines… and who knows what. I do like her Barn name Tivie though
I had a OTTB that was Quoit a Dinner, pretty dumb too… from Waquiot and other names
I have heard Who’s for Dinner before… from that line of TB’s.

Way back, I had (briefly) a dirty stopper–his show name was Second Thoughts.[/QUOTE]
I rode a very similar type horse and his name was Ulterior Motive.
Man, did that fit him! :yes:
Recently the breeding manager where I work was grumping that one of the mares he foaled, who’s still boarded at the barn some ten years later, had her name changed by her owner. I asked him what her original name was and he turned to me, totally straight-faced, and went “her dam’s name was Buttercup, so I named her Dixie Cup. She also had two brothers, so it was Tin Cup, Dixie Cup, and the youngest one… Sport Cup.”
My first thoroughbred’s name was Alpo Dodger. Poor guy!
There is a thoroughbred racehorse called “Fifty Shades of Hay.”
And my quarter horse mare’s great grandmother’s registered name was “Bet She’s a Booger.”
Registered TBs:
Winged Ammonia
Isopropyl
Skate Holme and her dam,
Treefullofowls
Zippy Chippy (no list would be complete without mentioning this old trouper.)
I’m sure there are many more! Husband used to bet the ponies–when he wakes up from his nap I’ll see if he has any more memorable names.
My late TB’s Jockey Club registered name was Crohn of My Own. I still don’t know what a “crohn” is. His pedigree was downright embarassing to say: Crohn of My Own, by Dr. Crohn, out of Princess Paulette by Faerie Palace. Sheesh.
I went with a friend to a schooling show last summer, and I kid you not, there was a palamino there named Honey Boo Boo. I about died when the name was said over the PA.

I always thought a GOOD name for a reliable jumper would be “Don’t Think Twice,” but,…um…honesty in a jumper is good, but stupidity, not so much…
I knew a Wart, and owned Star Squaw Bar and Orlando Motel…and I just bought a guy called “Dances with Angus”. Really. He’s a black Friesian X… maybe he played out with the angus calves as a youngster? LOL
(the Wart I knew was in N. Florida…)
There was a race horse named Chicken for Dinner.
A lot of the Zip line quarter horses have silly names… like My Fly’s Unzipped, or Zip it Up
Gonad, he was a nasty stud colt that needed a name that started with G. It was his “secret” barn name.
Not as funny as many that were posted so far, but my Hackney pony’s original registered name was Meriwill’s (sp? I don’t feel like digging out his registration) Fashion Plate. He was kept intact until he was about ten years old, and was still very studly when I got him at age 22. How can you call a super macho stallion Fashion Plate?
Luckily someone changed his registered name around the time he was gelded, and he became Get Crackin’. That was a perfect name for that little maniac.
I had to put him down at age 29, and I still miss him terribly.

An old one, but it makes me laugh every time:
Potoooooooo
Death Breath a very nice equally as crazy appendix mare by a stallion named Dog Breath. Poor thing never stood a chance to be normal.
My friend had a very nice all around pointed QH of Topsail Whiz breeding and every time they announced his name I suddenly had to pee.
We had a big lovely TB with the unfortunate name of Maximum Pleasure. Poor guy got a lot of snickers and sneers …he really was a saint and a pleasure to be around.
Hot Vanylla Cream. Saddlebred stud.

And there’s Vanilla Hot Shot, another stud.

Decades ago when I was showing (jumping) someone had a pony named Higher, I can’t see it.
I kind of like Hot Vanylla Cream…at least the physical specimen.
The name…meh.

Oh man, I know exactly who you’re talking about, that mare, and all those foals! If we want to be technical, the dam’s name was “Old Buttercup” …which to me is worse than just Buttercup! “Sport Cup” became just “Sport” very quickly. :winkgrin:
