USEF show name needed

Hello,

I know there have been a ton of threads with horse show names but I am in desperate need of everyone’s opinion on a name for my colt. His grandsire is Redwine and I would prefer his show name to have something to do with wine. His barn name is Joker, he is a bay with a very loving personality. Any show names related to wine, joker or any 70s song names would be wonderful. His sire’s show name is After Midnight and his dams is Halliday Spirit. Any show names that have those incorporated would also be nice. 70s song because his sire is named after a 70s song and so is his half-sister. Thank you all for the help in advance, I am stuck and cannot find anything that I like and would like to get him registered soon!

Wine After Midnight

I like that suggestion. For a shorter version, you could go with Midnight Wine.

Well, you probably wouldn’t want to use it, but the combination of “Joker”, “After Midnight” and 70s songs immediately made me think of “Midnight Toker” :D. Not sure what that says about me…

I love this name!!!

I LOVE THIS!!! Perfect! But I’m partial to clever, one-word names. :slight_smile:

Here’s a neat chart of red wines…do any of these names strike your fancy? http://winefolly.com/tutorial/the-spectrum-of-boldness-in-red-wines-chart/ I kind of like Carmenere…but you’ll run the risk that the announcer will mis-pronounce it. :slight_smile:

Maybe not your style, but Dolcetto means ‘little sweet one’ in Italian. Might fit his personality - and it’s a red wine.

Thanks to insomnia, I googled top songs of 1970 (the year Eric Clapton recorded After Midnight). There was a popular song called Spill the Wine.

Some other songs of the 70’s that might make good horse names:

American Pie
A Horse with No Name (sorry, I couldn’t help myself)
Anticipation
Superstition
Free Ride
Hello, It’s Me
Black Water
Deep Purple (a super cheesy song by Donny and Marie, but goes with your wine theme)
Dream On
Slow Ride
I’m Your Boogie Man (just kidding…but it would be kinda awesome to hear that on the loud speaker)
Hotel California
Baker Street
Because the Night
