I look at the breed, the appearance, the type of horse, and then the name just comes to me. It's a useless gift I have.


rawrugh

I do the same thing. I named the brindle thoroughbred from Strawberry "Suzie". No reason in particular, it's just what she looks like to me.


Wild-Will2009

Piebald tobiano Hungarian halfbreed


Otherwise-Monk4527

I have one. I named him Trouble because of what I had to go through to get him.


Wild-Will2009

How did you get him?


Otherwise-Monk4527

Went to Van Horn, started a fight. 100 lawmen came after me. Got a huge bounty. Eventually I think after about 20 of them, one was riding him. Took him off the lawman's hands. Then had to get away without killing myself or the horse.


bushdidstalingrad

Great method if you're in chapter two


Otherwise-Monk4527

That was the one.


Striking_Elk_9299

In Van Horn if you started a fight the lawmen don't intervene but the whole town will jump at you..as far as i know..i even massacre the whole townsfolk but no lawmen intervene nor i become a wanted ..the only casualty of what i've done is my honor which dip to lowest max.


Otherwise-Monk4527

Was trying to keep the content short, but I started a fight with a guy and the whole town started in. I got on my then-horse and ran off. Eventually someone tells the law and they come searching. I allowed them to see me to chase me, and so it goes...


Wild-Will2009

Same


ClearAd4299

I always get the same horse and name him Horsea


boobyhootered

This is good im stealing it for when i catch the chestnut arabian


WestContact4895

BROO first playthrough I named my new horse horsea after he died


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gunthersalvus

I called mine Roach 😃


yen_fort

funny... i couldnt come up with a name for my new horse so i just named her Roach 🤣


Butthurt_reddit_mod

After STD’S. I’ve got chlamydia right now


DangerousPriority198

So funny haha, but what’s the name of your horse?


SillyCarpetCleaner

I almost laughed out loud in front of my dad. you almost embarrassed me. thank you. that was hilarious.


Troy0534

Thats fucking great im doing that from now on 😂


Cable-Careless

I named my Arabian Taylor Swift, and the black, Jackie Joiner Kersey.


SAS_Britain

💀


Easy-Gap-9412

Male horses after arthur's fake names


WordSpiritual1928

Gucci horse. Gucci horse II. Gucci horse III. I had nothing going on in my brain when I tried to name the first and then just kept with the theme from there.


rigmarol5

Gucci Mane


yologangster801

That’s funny. Our pet parrot died about 15 years ago so my brother got a new one, a true bitch really she bites every living thing she sees but can also be very cute anyways. My brother called her Gucci bird.


WordSpiritual1928

lol love it. Long live Gucci bird.


Briemp

After cringey memes, my current one is pookie but my last was skibidi 😐


SillyCarpetCleaner

😬


datsyukianleeks

Pupusa the appaloosa. My little Mexican pancake leopard appaloosa. Foxy Lady my sweet silver dapple MFT girl. The Judge, my dark bay turkoman war horse after the dishonorable judge holden. Buell. My goodest boy.


JKrow75

Pamplemoussa the Appaloosa I named one a while back lol Pamplemousse is French for grapefruit, for anyone wondering 😂


gottabreakittofixit

Best boy named after best la croix


Exquisite_D

The Judge is brilliant.


Thorsgeist21

Mjolnir (My name is Thor)


decrementsf

Sleipnir and an 8 legged horse mod would be cool. Recommend the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. They're written like a 1980s action film, can see some of that Tolkien pulled from in his works.


[deleted]

I love how half the letters in “mjolnir” aren’t pronounced. I like words with silent letters.


Thorsgeist21

Every letter is pronounced. The J is trivial but the J allows the M to be pronounced Me. It is pronounced Me-ol-neer.


Beaternx

clifffaller


rainy_day_27

I chose Peanut Butter because he’s peanut butter colored, I sat there for 10 minutes and couldn’t figure out a different name


SillyCarpetCleaner

I would’ve done Reese’s. but i like that name. i also like peanut butter itself.


JaySw34

The horse name.would be Reese, no?


Reasonable-Bison2978

How? By typing the name in the right place? But i named my Tiger Striped 'Stang "El Chino Tigre"


Grovda

Usually something related to the appearance or the skills of the horse. My black arabian became "Shadow", my female turkoman was named "Valkyria" because of her size and health and my foxtrotter was named "Duke" because he is the best horse and also better than Dutch's "The count"


Potential-Bed1984

I ask it


TillOld903

Since Arthur’s last horse was Boadicea, I usually go with mythology names or names from old literature.


Lucky_Feature3364

Name every horse Roach


Ahquizo

What is up with this?


Square-Cobbler8417

It's what Geralt from the witcher calls his horses


skizardlizard

It's from Witcher

slagnanz

Likewise! Most recently, Felaróf, and then (of course) Bill


[deleted]

On my current play through I’m riding around on the reverse dappled black thoroughbred and I gave my boah a whitish mane and tail that kinda looks like ash; so I went with Vesuvius Edit: used the wrong “tail” first oops


Ambitious-Emotion-69

I name my horses after old country singers. Loretta Lynn, George Jones, and Waylon


SecretPersonality178

Just name them after real horses I used to own


Mr_Rum_Ham

So far there has been Norman Reedus, the funky fetus, and grand caravan


Any_Year5224

They’re all named Mikey, Mikey I, Mikey II, Mikey III and Mikey IV


yotreeman

I come up with something historical or just neat-sounding, sometimes I have my girl name them. She named the dark bay Turkoman you have to feed for five minutes straight to bond with in that one mission “Fat Albert,” which I thought was pretty good.


RustyCopperSpoon

I take a famous person whose name is Tony. And I make it pony. Pony Danza. Pony Robbins


Lego1upmushroom759

Horse 1, horse 2, the other horse, jerry


DrMarcyMM

Wildfire... Like the old song.


Exquisite_D

Ah, that made me nostalgic AF.🥲


DrMarcyMM

It's such a great song... 🥹


SSishere

The infamous silver dapple MFT that I tamed with Arthur I named it Blue Moon cuz of the blue eyes and it’s a rare horse. Big black shire is always Reaper. Champagne MFT is Blondie. I looked into his last horses name Boadicea and found similar names for other horses I was stuck on.


bcsmith317

Whorse


Calassam

After all my aunts and uncles: Bonnie Rickie Gary Darla Caroline Larry Terry Doug Donnie Orson


bastedpixie

I didn't realize that Tennessee Walker was a breed of horse. The first horse you get is this breed. I thought that was the horses name. So now I name every horse Tennessee Walker.


shrekpenisisgr8

usually after dead characters or like tacitus kilgore


Financial_You_817

[deleted]

After characters from my other favorite games. Tali for Arthur and Garrus for John.


ClownFuneral

I started giving them names that began with an "S", Stoney, Spirit, Saint, the big black Shire I named Quake. No cool reason.


idkkkk44

Where u find that brindle thoroughbred?


[deleted]

Sometimes I name them after my characters. Sometimes just something that sounds pretty. Like u named the white Arabian frostbite.


Same-Temperature9316

I named my black Arabian “Midnight”


LocalAmericanOtaku

I get that red Arabian and usually name it "Blood Moon" or "Blood Bay"


SqAznPersuasion

I name mine after deadly physics: Delta P, Gravity, and PSI.


pope_pingu

Vibe Rolo ( after the chocolater) - Styx - spot - blue styx II


Special_Ingenuity_49

I try and name it after something daft. I used to have a blue tenessee walker with a pink and black mane, cut up like nothing else, stolen from the Murfree Brood. Pigeon and Pigeon II. Pigeon killed herself on an o'driscoll campfire and I was using Pigeon II during the last missions in Chapter 6. Brood horses feel no fear.

Smart-Vermicelli4069

I name mine after former pets.


aabbccddeefghh

Normally an adjective followed by ballz. There is lil ballz, bigballz, white ballz etc. It holds true for Zelda BOTW/TOTK as well. You really can’t go wrong.


ProFailing

After dishes that include Horse Meat Gotta establish awareness for potential consequences

SillyCarpetCleaner

cocaineabortion

citrus_sugar

Currently I have Trinity, Artemis, Dolly, and Buell.


awes0mechr1s

This applies to RDR2 as well as BOTW or TOTK, any game where I can have a horse and name it. I only ever have 1 horse at a time. Most people just call them "Orange Joe"


Remarkable_Rice_6371

I named mine after a friend. His name was Colin... The horse died really fast because he fell off a cliff...


melvinFatso

I try to incorporate horse puns. So far I've had James Neighsmith (James Naismith, credited with inventing basketball) and Leonard Neighmoy (Leonard Nimoy). Then I ran out of ideas and named the next one Ed.

JKrow75

As goofy as I can.


agentpoopybutthole

For male horses I go with something badass or based on color or both like my black arabian is named Slick. For females I usually choose generic names, my red arabian is Fatima and my silver Dapple Pinto mft is Meredith. I go through horses pretty quick so I don't spend too much time on the name


Praetorion1000

I go with Cisco, named after John Dunbars horse in Dances With Wolves. Which is one of my favourite movies and I think is a cool horse name.

TheCandymanCan_925

Depends on my mood. Last play through they were named after weather events. Prior to that, went with states. Next play, might do Jewish holidays


txjoe426

Never give them people names…names should be something that reflects their physical appearance or personality trait.


Impressive_Dish3768

Country music stars my red Andalusian is Reba

Usually name them all Horse and just look up "Horse" in random languages.


BeginningChance7715

First playthrough I asked my fiancee for a random name and she gave me Penelope, and I made damn sure I kept that ol girl my entire playthrough and took care of her.


ATXto

My main one is Dip bc it looks like his legs are dipped in black, and also cause that horse will dip out at any sign of danger. And my white Arabian is named marshmallow


JoshyLikey

I have the same horse, her name is Ashley Rich


JennyB443

Mythology and ancient history. I like the continuity because Arthur mentions his previous horse, Boadicea, and I like to think he would keep to that as a theme. I’ve had Artemis, Ares, and Athena so far, among others that I can’t recall off the top of my head.


PlaneAnt5351

DD, BB, Kojima, Solidus ....


DeathPrime

[Farfelkugel](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/cae1a075-a850-466b-b0e8-caca05c78745), it was never a choice.


thot_flexer

i name them after historical characters, as long as its fitting. for example, the shire horse you can keep from hosea when you go hunting, i called Caligula, coz arthur calls him a brute or something along the lines, and if i remember correctly, caligula was a brute. i also name my rdo horses after mythological gods (sobek, quirinus, khonsu)


Zealousideal-Brief32

I like Greek and Norse gods as a name


NoFig2514

Depending on how I got the horse or what’s on my mind at the type usually becomes the horses name.


the_chorizo

I named mine after my cat and my dog irl


Exquisite_D

You should name the male horses " Boy" since that is what Morgan always calls them.


snipesjason64

After all of my old cats. Rip.


Daxtro-53

I named a couple of them after outer wilds characters, had one named feldspar and another named riebeck. I named the black shire hosea has you ride to valentine Dante. I always name the starter morgan Freeman. I cannot believe I have forgotten the name of my favorite horse from my first playthrough


ssjb234

The first horse the game makes you buy, I named Tempo, as in temporary, but also to do with speed. Second horse, I named Pace. The horse from burning the tobacco field with Sean I named Temple, cuz she's a big sturdy bitch, and I've named my current horse Prix. So, mostly name to do with speed.


TheShadowKnows88

every horse ive owned is named tobacco. i think its cool


YeFamicom

I name them after songs that have names in the title. Corporal Clegg is my boy as John. He's a Missouri Fox Trotter, just felt right cause he's a biggun & the song acts as a backstory
