Golden names

[Elizabetta]

Bit of a request for help with names! I am currently in the process of buying a yearling filly, shes a palomino (gold with a white mane). [name_u]Ive[/name_u] always considered it bad luck to change a horses name however this time she doesnt have one i get to pick!

Id love for her name to mean golden, shining, bright, sun anything along those lines, shes a really sweet gentle girl so nothing too fierce!

So far [name_u]Ive[/name_u] thought of

[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]

I love longer names and dont mind old fashioned but prefer things more on the unusual side rather than often seen names!

[LouC]

I like your ideas so far! [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Flavia[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] & [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] also came to mind.

[Lula-Rose]

Names with an Au / [name_u]Or[/name_u] sound tend to mean golden / light.

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Auriel[/name_f], [name_f]Orabella[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f], [name_f]Oriana[/name_f] etc

[notcinnamon]

[name_f]Helena[/name_f]! Shining light.
So regal.

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] are quite popular baby girl names right now. I think a longer name sounds wonderful for a horse.

[Lula-Rose]

It’s actually just occurred to me that gold is Au on the periodic table, so makes sense

[clevato1124]

I absolutely love those meanings! Something about golden, shining, bright, and sun that just feels so warm and welcoming! Here are some ideas!

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (“the golden one”)
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] (“gold”)
[name_f]Gilda[/name_f] (“covered with gold”)
[name_f]Eldora[/name_f] (“covered with gold”)
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] (“golden flower”)
[name_f]Orla[/name_f] (“golden princess”)

[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] (“day of the sun”)
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f] (“sunrise”)
[name_f]Aeliana[/name_f] (“sun”)
[name_f]Eleodora[/name_f] (“gift of the sun”)
[name_f]Soleil[/name_f] (“sun”)
[name_f]Solaria[/name_f] (“sun”)

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (“radiant, shining one”)
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f] (“bright, shining light”)
[name_f]Nolwenn[/name_f] (“shining, holy”)
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] (“bright, shining one”)
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f] (“torch, shining light”)
Helene/Helena (same meaning as Ellen)
[name_f]Olena[/name_f] (same meaning as Ellen)

Lucille/Lucy (“light”)
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] (“light”)

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] these help!

[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] is lovely

[name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] “Sunny”
[name_f]Tesni[/name_f]
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f]

[Elizabetta]

I adore Tansy as a name but unfortunately (or fortunately!) Its taken by one of my daughters, will forever be a favourite.

Cressida was going to be the name of her sister for a while before we settled on Euphemia, maybe its fate!

[hellobanjo]

Oo Xanthe??

[ashthedreamer]

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] and Marigold/Goldie were my first ideas! [name_u]Golden[/name_u] might be a little on the nose but I’ve heard it in real life.

[name_f]My[/name_f] other idea was maybe something like [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f], is that too fiery?

[name_u]Lux[/name_u], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], Clara/Clarissa/Claire, etc., might be nice too.

[persephonescrown]

I’m so envious, I’m adore palominos my absolute dream to have one of my own.

You’ve had lots of amazing suggestions but I have a couple of ideas, how about [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] ‘golden’ or [name_f]Xanthippe[/name_f] which literally means ‘golden horse’ (and could be ‘Zippy’ for short!)

[name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], ‘fiery one’?

[Elizabetta]

[name_u]Ive[/name_u] always had chestnuts, her genes meant i had a high chance of another chestnut but no shes a golden girl! [name_f]Xanthippe[/name_f] would be lovely for her and couldnt be more fitting
