Help me think of a name for...my PC's horse

[Wormwood]

Bucephalus
Brunellus
Rocinante

That's a good name for a horse.

"Hiho, ChaosChaos, away!"

Chaos Chaos Ghali, ex-Secretary General of the United Nations, would be aghast to see you treating his name as suitable for a horse.

Seriously, don't name horses. They're the aluminum cans of D&D - Use it for a while, crush it against your forehead, take another one off the plastic ring and repeat. Get into a fight with bandits on the road? Guess what isn't surviving. Exploring some ancient ruins/enemy fortress/dungeon du jour? Guess what's not going to be alive when you get back.

True story - one player in my previous FR game, stuck for a name for his half-orc fighter, came up with Darmoc, and Tenagra for his horse. He must've killed off three or four horses in that game sequentially, so the running joke was that his horses were named Tenagra XVII, Tenagra XVIII, Tenagra XIX...

I kind of like Mirage, Phantom and Gypsy.

SS

 

[Mallus]

These were all suggested names for an old friends horse who threw her.

Surefall
Thud the Cruncher
Stumbler Skullfu**

Greylock asked:

what type world are you playing in??

Sorry, should have mentioned that -- it's in Greyhawk. In fact, the DM is the girl with whom I learned to play D&D, way back in the day. So there's a bunch of old history there just ripe for abuse. Especially since our games back then tended toward the melodramatic...

So far, I'm digging all the suggestions, though "Alhandra Starbreeze" cracked me up (take that, Sturm! Bwah!) and "Mithrandir" would be amusing because it would allow me to tease my husband (he had a PC named that long ago). But at this moment, I'm leaning toward Ookla, 'cause Thundarr the Barbarian was just a kick-ass show.

Beat me to it. In a past game, my 'Less than Good but not quite Evil' character named his horse "Emergency Rations".
