If you are a parent you have played this game, if you have a pet of any kind you too have played this game. We say them out loud over and over, write them on paper, question the opinion of others, determined to find the PERFECT name for our new additions. We have done this so many times in Rodiville you would think we would have this down to a science by now. However, that is just not the case. It still takes us quite a while to come up with a good name. Recently we have added 2 new horses to the barnyard, Rosebud and Walks Far Woman.
Rosebud without a doubt is in love with Miss Carley J. Carley J just walks into the pasture and Rosebud perks right up and heads over for some of that sweet lovin’ from our lil’ cow girl. Rosebud is a name that has some roots in our house, just so happens it was also the name of this 2 yr old beauty when we purchased her.
ROSEBUD
Walks Far Woman is a beautiful 6yr old mare and has a great personality for Rodi. The two are getting along just fine. Going out into the pasture and calling “Walks Far” seemed a bit odd for Rodi and I. I sort of refuse to have anyone going out to the pasture and calling out “Woman, come here, Woman” (Oh I know you are laughing… EXACTLY why I vetoed that) . So what does one call her then? We have tossed around several new names (knowing she will always really be Walks Far Woman). This new name would just be her “barn name”. I have searched and searched for another Native American name for her and just never found one Rodi and I both agreed upon. Last night though it hit me like a ton of bricks, this horse has moved around quite a few times in the past 6 years, Walks Far Woman is really actually quite fitting in that regard. HELLO… she is a traveling kind of gal (who will be staying put now *smile*) .
INTRODUCING………..
GYPSY LADY
Such a fitting name for our new friend.
From one mom to another…… a name is a special thing, something that has to be chosen carefully and should be fitting, take your time and the name will find you.
It's a Mom Thing
