| 1836.1 | farm names | TOLKIN::BENNETT | | Wed Dec 15 1993 12:44 | 11 |
| Good luck with your new farm - where abouts did you move to?
The unofficial name of my place is Ledgebrook farm (hopefully no one
else has this name already) "Ledge" for the 2 acre table under the
pasture and arena and "Brook" for the river that runs through all of it
in the spring.
How about Painted Rock Farm, or I saw a farm in AZ called Bucket'o
Paint Farm. Have fun!

| How about Nev-r-done Farm.......only kidding.
But since my wife and I built our barn and got our horses
home, my work is NEVER DONE!
Good Luck!

| 1836.3 | How to name a farm..:) | CSLALL::LCOBURN | Plan B Farm | Wed Dec 15 1993 14:49 | 9 |
| When we bought our place 6 years ago, we could never agree on a
'classy' sounding name. Then one day my sister-in-law was visiting,
and commenting on how nice my (then) new ring was, and I said something
to the effect of "Yes, it's small, Plan A was much bigger, but this
is a good size for just our 2 horses". Thus, our small, 2 stall place
became known as "Plan B Farm". Silly maybe, but it suits me. :-)

| 1836.4 | how about 2-tone | GRANMA::JWOOD | | Wed Dec 15 1993 15:09 | 28 |
| I'm having the same problem except we have lived at our place for
almost 4 1/2 years now... and still haven't settled on a name...
everytime we get close to a name, I change my mind. We live on Hawkins
Creamery Road, across the road from Silver Crest Drive in a subdivision
named Finlandia in a farmhouse with a stone front.
Some of the names You could try:
we have tried are:
Wood-N-Horses "your name"-N-horses
Finlandia Farm Finlandia Fjords
Silver Crest Manor Stonewall Manor
Silver Crest Farm Stonewall Farm
Creamery Ridge Farm etc...
Creamery Knoll Farm etc...
Stonehome Stables etc...
Woodcrest Manor etc...
Edgewood Manor etc...
Woodland Hills etc...
Woodhill etc...
Sorry, nothing works for me either, but I thought you would like to
know that you are not alone in this quest for a name.
If anyone has suggestions for me... ( be kind ;} ) I would like to get
some ideas, too.
Thanks.

| 1836.5 | "2-tone Fjords Farm" | GRANMA::JWOOD | | Wed Dec 15 1993 15:12 | 2 |
| The title was supposed to read "2-tone Fjords" (sorry!)
|
| 1836.6 | Farm Name | BSS::ZINN | | Wed Dec 15 1993 17:06 | 1 |
| What about Naughty Lady (of Shady Lane) Farm? OK, so this dates me.
|
| 1836.7 | Say it fast! | STOWOA::MCKEOWN | | Wed Dec 15 1993 17:56 | 4 |
| Since you have so many stones maybe it should be "Rock and Horse".
(If you say it quickly you get it better!)

| 1836.8 | Midnight Sun Farm | EEMELI::KORVENRANTA | | Thu Dec 16 1993 03:52 | 15 |

To reply .4:
About the farm name in Finlandia-area: I live in Finland (the real
one in Europe ; ) ) and could not be without giving one naming
idea: Finland is known of the midnight sun, that in midsummer never
goes down. What about the name 'Midnight Sun' or 'Midnight Rocky'
(the last one is a harness trotting horse - a pretty good one...)
Good luck, the idea of giving names to the farms sounds very
nice !
Regards,
P�ivi

| Midnight Sun was the name of one of the most famous Tenn. Walking
horses. It might mislead people as to the breed of horse raised there.
One of the neatest names I have seen is "Stone Broke Farm"!

| 1836.10 | Copper Penny Farm | POWDML::MANDILE | Inney becoming an outey | Thu Dec 16 1993 09:38 | 13 |
|
My farm name is: Copper Penny Farm
My farm logo is a penny with a horsehead (quarterhorse,
naturally! (8 ) on it.
Why that name? Well, my maiden name is Penney, and someone once
told me that I should have been called Copper, then I would be
Copper Penney. I thought it was a neat sounding name, so.......
May I suggest "Stonelake Farm" as a name for your place?

| 1836.11 | any Marx Bros. fans? | ANGLIN::DUNTON | | Thu Dec 16 1993 14:19 | 6 |
| Regarding racehorse names... here's one that can't be confused with a
particular horse because I don't think it really exists. It comes from
a Marx Brothers movie "A Day at the Races"... Sun-up! (Sun-up farms? I
dunno). High Hat was another one from that movie. My sister made me
promise to name my next horse one of these two names. If I had a farm
maybe it could be High Hat Acres...: )

| 1836.12 | Wow, I'm not alone | AKOCOA::LPIERCE | Aint goin' down | Fri Dec 17 1993 09:39 | 15 |

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can't think of a name for
our farm. It seems all the good ones are taken. The only
thing at our farm that stand out is all our bad luck! We have
had things happend to us and our horses that no one has ever had
done before... so we came up with 2
Sucide Stables & Unstable Stables
They really seem to fit us, but some day when we become succussful
we'd never be alot to use those names.. I think'd they'd scare
off the potential customers :-)

| 1836.13 | How about Rockaway Stables... see note | GRANMA::JWOOD | | Fri Dec 17 1993 10:25 | 13 |
| Louisa,
The road to success is sometimes filled with rocks. Maybe instead of
being unstable, your road to success has been a little rocky.
How about Rocky Way Stables?... or to smooth it out a little, Rockaway
Stables. That way it looks good, but you can pronounce it the way it
really is.
Got any ideas for me?

| 1836.14 | I love it | AKOCOA::LPIERCE | Aint goin' down | Mon Dec 20 1993 08:56 | 9 |

Jw, thanks for the ideas.. I love the Rocky Way Stables name!
I also love a name you have allready chosen for yourself.
Wood-n-Horse .. I think that is perfect.
Thanks again

| I just remembered another one. My friends dad helped her build her
first barn, and when it was finished, he stood back and said" It isn't
perfect, but it's pretty close". So she named her place "Pretty Close
Stables"!

| 1836.16 | I liked Stone Broke Fram | STUDIO::BIGELOW | PAINTS; color your corral | Mon Jan 03 1994 11:48 | 7 |
| Well, I guess we're not alone w/ an unnamed farm....nice to know we
have company. Some good ideas too, but I don't want to make any quick
decisions....
