There was a mare who was in the sale at Keeneland last week with the unfortunate name of FLYING GALOSHES. 
Here are a few that are interesting but maybe not well known:
A mare named: One Good Wack…barn name Wacker.
I owned: I Am Rampage…he was. 
How about the horse named Somfas…remember what that stands for??? 
I always like the name Judge Smells…I’ve seen some of his offspring at breed shows and thought it was kinda funny. My mare was bred to him before I bought her and has a son by the lame name of Go Bear
Et vera incessu patuit dea. (Aenid I, 405)
And her stride revealed she was a true goddess.
~I LOVE my mare.~

I recently had a pedigree sent to me for a hunter broodmare that used to race.
Her JC registered name was Spring Madness out of THIS IS INSANE… 
There is a racehorse (pacer) in New Zealand called Shutthe Fridgedoor
Ho hum, poor blighter!

I bought an OTTB who had had her name changed from MISS PELLED to ELLIE’S DREAM. You think if they were going to bother to change it they would come up with something bettert than that.
I read not so long ago, on another BB thread, that some one in Canada (I think) has a horse named Hoof Hearted. Say it out loud. Picture that over the loud speakers at a horse show!!! I read that one and almost wet 'em!! That’s how hard I laughed…even though it is kind of cruel to name a horse that.
I do remeber the horse “Bodacious Tata’s” We always knew when she was running, The guys I worked with made it a point to say her name when they read the newspaper for that day’s race.

When I was in my early 20’s I used to groom a horse named
“Nip Pulls”. My nickname for months after was Nip Pulls II. Need I say more?
I figured that “Ivanavinalot” was supposed to somehow translate to “I wanna win a lot”, but I didn’t know why they would use v’s instead of w’s, so I figured there was some kind of hidden meaning behind it. I was just overthinking it. 
Although, sometimes you really do have to study a name to make sure it’s not something nasty!
Sexy Seattle and Big Sexy were two other awful names I’ve seen. Ugh. 
Sometimes it seems like the Standardbreds have even worse names than the Thoroughbreds. And don’t forget the Quarter Horses - Cha Ching Chick is an example.

there are so many more but these were some that struck me funny.

I had a gelding years ago who was a stakes horse…real speedball and at one time was in D. Waynes barn (long before I owned him)“ONE Never Nose” and then at a farm I worked at (where One never Nose was owned) we had Kellybarrthedoor hes was the biggest wuss!
What about:
Isitingood (get it?)
Bodacious Tatas
Spinelessjellyfish
Icecoldbeeratreds
I agree about Ivanavinalot, it just isn’t right. I don’t mind names with words smushed (Songandaprayer I like a lot, I liked She’sastonecoldfox too) but that one is icky.
Let’s see, what others can I think of…

Another vote for Buffythecenterfold. Did they really need to show PICTURES on the Breeder’s Cup coverage? 
“Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.”
Yuck! I think some BBers have seen him run 
EMMA
I remember a horse at Suffolk Downs named “Fish Lips”. Now that’s terrible. Hey, I like the name “Icecoldbeeratreds”!
Ride on! Rusty Stirrup
It must be a nudy bar…
Note to self:
If ever in the situation, NEVER let Mike Pegram name a horse
That would also explain the lack of spaces…
Here’s another doozy - Holy Burrito.
Kinsella, what are you going to name the foal? Dam Special, maybe?
As for Youmakemethorbaby, I just recently saw “Thor” as a name, in a name book, it means “thunder”. So the name still doesn’t make sense. But if it was inspired by Mike Pegram, then chances are it probably does have some slutty meaning… Which reminds me of another bad name I saw recently, Little Hottie. (I once knew someone who wore shirts and jackets that said “hottie”, and she was the most perverted, obnoxious thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of knowing.) Coincidentally, though, if I were the kind of person that likes to use that word, I might say that name is an appropriate description of this horse’s jockey…

“Known for her air-headedness and lack of riding talent, people at first thought Jordan would never make it as a jump jockey. That is, until she invented the ‘No-Worries Anti-Falling Saddle Strap’. With this remarkable little piece of equipment, Jordan was able to actually strap herself to a horse, thereby insuring her stability while riding. This did not, however, prevent her from confusing the markers, skipping jumps, and going the wrong way.”
I read all the way through this thread and didn’t find my favorite bad name:
Flat Fleet Feet
She was a brilliant 2YO, and I’ve always believed she was bought by a consortium of track announcers.
