We had a newborn yesterday, and are struggling to come up with a name. He’s fawn and white colored, and when a full grown stallion, will stand about 28” tall. Humor is fine in a name…

@Dr_C – I’ve actually met a horse named Bob. It really fit his personality!
Shiroi! [sheeroy].
Japanese for white.
shirokami – white god
mo… as in eeny meeny miny mo??
hangariki.. Moari for small Riki for short
teoteo – (teyato teyato) Maori to be small especially of birds and animal species
Shorty, or any of the following (all of which refer to being small, tiny or little):
COLMAN Little Dove
COTY Small Slope
BENNETT Little Blessed One
BARRAN Little Top
DINO Little Sword
EGAN Little Fire
GAVIN Little Hawk

I rather like Cheche.
I would definitely go the OPPOSITE direction of what most would say. Something like “Killer” or “Vicious” or “Tiger”, etc.
@chyna I like Bitty. That’s my dog’s name. It started out “little bit” but we starte calling her bitty so much, that’s all she answers to now.
There are some great suggestions in here! Thanks to all! After reading through these, my hubby wants to go with something masculine and large… along the lines of Thor or something. I kind of like the idea of Andre (the giant).
Thor sounds good but loving the Andre (the giant) idea he was ace!!
My husband wants to know what you think of Zeus. Is Zeus or Andre better?
I like the humorous aspect of Andre. When you think of Zeus, you don’t automatically think of big, so much as powerful. Andre makes me think ‘giant’.
I vote for Andre too. I think it would make people smile every time they said it.
I vote for Evelyns_Pet_Pony.
Lollipop, from The Lollipop Guild?
Ummm, could go with “35” as in Colt 35 (too small to be a Colt 45) OR (just stop groaning because it will likely get worse) Derringer (same theme as above) OR you could go with Stud-Muffintop (I know, I know, I don’t get paid to do this you know), OR Marshmallow (white and small and smooshy). Wow, I am more tired than even I realized. Now I am on a roll . . .
I have always fancied Walter as a name for a mule, but I would loan it to you under the circumstances (my not having a mule and all). Now I do have a friend whose bull is named Winona (don’t ask). You could go kind of more fake Native American, like Dances with Mice or something.
And my best suggestion of the day is Yardly (he’s hardly a yard). My work here is done.
Cough. Because he’s a little ‘horse.’ ;)
@laureth – a tribute to Top Secret perhaps?
Then there’s always “Michael”, in honor of Michael Jackson.
@SirBailey – Is there a way I can actually take Lurve away from someone? ;-)
When the colt starts doing the moonwalk, you’re gonna regret that decision!!!
If the colt starts doing the moonwalk, I’m going to become a millionaire! Anyway, he has four white socks instead of just one white “glove.”
Let’s get back to how great “Andre” is….
My dad had a quarter horse named Pretty Boy Floyd, which I always thought was a good name.
I had a cat named Kitty Boy Floyd, and I think that’s a better name.
