Breath of the Wild How do you name your horses?

[Serriome]

I've went with naming mounts after famous steeds, or God-Goddess steeds. I figured since Nintendo had to do such with Epona, it was only fair that I did the same. I have Arion, Maximus (Zelda's Horse), Ruin (Giant Horse), Epona, and Sleipnir. The names were just based on their stats or colors, but I basically just use Epona.

Most of the time, I do a lot of adventuring with my horse before I register it at the stable. I base the name of my horses on what adventures we have or what's happening at the time. For example, I named my horse Midnight because 1) he is black and 2) He helped me escape from a pack of Moblins during a Blood Moon. My other horses are named Joey and Dusty. I got Dusty after I defeated the sandy Stone Talus, and I got Joey while I was in the west (because it reminded me of Australia.)

I named my first horse Oreo because she was black with white mane and tail, and the other horse Ao it's a Japanese word for Blue because he was all blue.

My first two horses were named after a Jellyfish. First was 'No Name', then came 'Friend'. Shortly afterwards, I acquired Epona.

My two Horses are named Taran and BoJack, Taran is a Pictish (Ancient Scottish) and Welsh Name, It's also the name of A character in the novels of Lloyd Alexander, BoJack is named for everybody's favorite entertaining equine BoJack Horseman.

If I ever complete the Royal Horse quest I thought about naming the horse Taliesin, which means "Shining Brow" in Welsh.

So how do you name your horses? I usually name mine after famous musicians. ^^

I'm literally liking this before reading just for your name. hahaha love that

 

[Echolight]

I name them by how they look, or by the words that come to mind when I look at them.

I have an orange spotted horse named Freckles, a blue and white horse with a dark blue mane named Feather, a blue horse with a white mane named Moonbeam, and the giant horse named Scorch.

I think I named the big horse Zeus cuz of how big he is, I forget what I called the royal horse but it must have been something majestic.

 

[twilitfalchion]

I named my horse Noire, because of how black it was. I also just like the name and spelling of Noire.

 

[MapelSerup]

I named the special ones after Zelda characters and any others were names I just came up with.

 

[The Bread Pirate]

I usually find a black and white spotted horse and name it "Cowbella". It's a random process usually.

I always like to name my horses Cosmo. It was the name I used way back when I first played Twilight Princess and its now a staple of my Zelda Adventure. Link has Epona, I have Cosmo (or, in the case of my most recent playthrough where my horse died immediately, Cosmo II).

You name them by catching them, soothing them, registering them at a stable, and then when it prompts you to choose a name you select an assortment of letters that spells something comprehensible (or not).

I use different methods for my particular games, depending on my mood.

Method #1: No Real Reason
Giant Horse - "Hunter" (because I use him mostly to run-down animals to get gourmet raw meat to sell
White Stalion - "Sprinter"
4/4/5 All-Black Horse w/ "Ancient" horse gear - "Shadow"
4/4/5 "Link's Fake Horse" - "Courage"
4/4/5 "Fake Epona" - "Epona"

Method #2: Based Off of Horses from Mary Stanton's Book, Heavenly Horse of the Outermost West
Giant Horse - "Anor"
White Stallion - "Equus"
4/4/5 All-Black Horse w/ "Ancient" horse gear - "El-Arat"
4/4/5 "Link's Fake Horse" - "Duchess"
4/4/5 "Fake Epona" - Epona

If you wonder what I mean by "Fake Epona," You can get a better idea in my recent post (and unofficial poll), HERE on these very forums.
