I'm trying to think of a new name for my horse. I would like a show name and a barn name. His barn name has to be something that isn't too hard to pronouce or remember. I would like his show name to incorporate something from his parents. Arabic themed is preferred. When you post your name suggestions, be sure to include how to pronouce it.

Prize: 6 month upgrade

Breed: Arabian gelding
Dam: Bint Gharrissa
Sire: Tahr Sahib
Age: 4 yrs

He is a spunky arabian, he's taller than the average Arab, he has a large head compared to a normal Arab. He's a bit bossy and stubborn. He's very intelligent and quick.

Ends 5/1 late evening or 5/2 early morning.

Show: Shaheen (Sha-heen) "White Falcon"

Barn: Nabil (Na-beel) "Highly Intelligent"

Show: El-Marees (El Mar-esse) "The South Wind"

Barn: Faras (Far-as) "Horse"

Other names: Burkan (Bur-caan) "Volcano", Mahboub (Mah-boob) "Beloved", 

I am utterly terrible at naming things - but i'm just popping in to say how pretty he is!!

Absolutely beautiful! ♥ 

Congrats on the new horse! What are your plans with him? :D

My entry:

Show name: Al-Amir (translation: Commander or Prince)

Barn Name: Ali

Thanks everyone! I've had him for awhile. About 2 years. I had originally named him Bliss. (Gharrissa x Black (Tahr Sahib's barn name) = Bliss. But I really don't care for the name anymore. He's going to a trainer to get broke this Saturday so I wanted to get a better more offical name for him for the trainer to use. I plan on using him as mostly a pleasure/trail horse but we may show in local open fair shows in the western disciplines just for fun.

Tawil Ghazi: tah-wheel gah-zee (though in arabic it's more like hah-zee with a really harsh H) - roughly translates to Tall Warrior

And I would probably make Ghazi the barn name, as I think it sounds cool :D

Also he is totally gorgeous! I love the arabs with a slightly heavier build!

He is fantastic!

Show Name: Gazira Sitar  (Ja-zee-ra  See-Tar) (Island Veil)

Barn Names: Izzy, Ira, Bashir (Bearer of Good News)

Other names: Domenicq (Dom for the barn name)

This is an interesting article to read, on naming Arabian horses! It's not as easy as people think!

what about Armani?!

you can add your initials to the front to make it more personal...

armani can be the barn name too

Very interesting article Kuwait! Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions! None of them really click with me though! I decided to name him Tahr Sareth! (ta-har sa-wreath) Sareth or Reth for short!

I can't thank you all enough for trying though! I really appreciated all your help!

What does "Tahr" mean? I likes it!

I'm also bad with names, but he is awesome!

Paints since 6-8-14

I was looking it up the other day, apparently Tahr is an Arabian wild goat

lol that's interesting uni. I wanted to incorporate part of his sire's name so that's what I decided to keep that part of it. I also thought you guys might be interested to know how he is doing at the trainer's!

The trainer had him for a week and half and was already riding him! I went out and visited him last Sunday (so she would have had him for 2 weeks then) and he's doing really good. He just needs more work with backing up, breaking out into a lope, and standing still when being mounted. Also, side passing is one of his favorite things to do! LOL

She said that he's been one of the easiest horses to break that she's had. She was even asking if he had any brothers or sisters she could buy!
