A Horse By Any Other Name

A little over 48 hours ago I introduced the world to the new man in my life: a tall red head named... well, that's the problem, isn't it?

I started picking out names for my future children years ago. I wish that I was exaggerating, I really do, but I already have a short list for both genders and while my husband's input is important, he gets the final say when he pushes a seven pound baby out of HIS vagina. But choosing a name for this horse is different - I thought I had something picked out and then a friend asked if I didn't want to get to know him better before I decided.

This has been very frustrating! I know, I know - #whitegirlproblems. (Google it.) But I cannot pick a damn name for the horse. I have been thinking about it for over a week and he comes home in less than two days, and I just can't decide. Nothing seems to be absolutely perfect and suit him just right - and some people have told me just to leave his barn name as Bound, but I just don't like that very much!

Captain, Trusty, Woody, Doc, Buddy, Patrick, Weasley, Socket, Socks, the list just goes on. I'm leaning towards Patrick at this point for a handful of reasons, but I just don't know. I'd really like to have a name chosen by the time he arrives on Saturday so that I don't have to keep calling him "Horse" because that is an even worse name for them than "Bound!"
