I always think that horses with classic aspirations should be named as such.Pinturischio, Nijinsky, Crepello are such names that spring to mind however Benny The Dip broke the mould somehow.
For strange or frivolous names Noble Lochs stills brings a smile to the face.I can’t decide if that is a delibrate Thommo joke Strawbear or a slip of the keyboard!
It’s boring but I like Coolmore’s literary-inspired names.
And their opposites: quaint names more suited to household pets or ponies like Bonny Grey, Nice Horse and Smudge.

Awww, bless. Kittenkat! The slowest thing ever and put on this Earth to make Killeshin look like Arazi. I eagerly await the racecourse appearances of her children four or five years from now – straight into 3m1f beginners’ chases on heavy at Exeter ahead of repeat tilts at the Devon Marathon, methinks….

I like MICKMACMAGOOLE, apparently it’s Gaelic for "not trained by Seamus O’Donnell".
Geojimali, Italian for "missed the break" and Benandoner (named after a kebab-flavoured ice cream) are other favourites
LOL!!

Tatafatatafata (or whatever it is) purely because it’s so funny listening to Tango Man trying to get his teeth round it.

Lou Du Moulin Mas.My favourite is Nippy Des Mottes. And then the whole Des Mottes gang (Mambo, Oracle and a few others).
Is High Cotton still a maiden after all these years?
Yep, and added another onepaced place finish to his tally at Carlisle last Friday.
Ye verily a horse for whom the phrase "needs five miles in a bog" might have been coined.

Not forgetting Saltys Son, who can’t have been that far off being lapped in his debut bumper this summer but came home the happiest boy alive.
