Looking for naming suggestions and breeding advice for new Luestin Mare

[Kadana Sorano]

Needless to say, I want a really special name for this girl.  One that suits her total awesomeness.  And while I know I should take as long as is needed to find her a suitable name, I do want to get her named soon, because I don't breed unnamed animals, and I of course will be breeding her whenever next season hits.  So I ask for name suggestions for this wonderful girl from you all.  The names need not be in English, but if they are not could you please also post what the names mean for me as well?

Which brings me to my second dilemma.. Should I try and get a breeding with one of the off-world Luestin studs here on Secundi, or enter her for a Breeders Choice breeding?  I'm equally torn between going with a stud here on Secundi that I can see, or going with the unknown of a Breeders Choice and being surprised.  Advice would be appreciated

Thanks in advance for any help, here is my girl



Black Splash Overo, front right Stocking, back left Coronet, Star and Stripe (Generally willing, but occasionally nervous, a mover)

Maybe something to do with yin and yang, dichotomy, duality, monochrome, etc? Sorry I can't think of specific names... All I can think of when I look at her are black and white cookies XD

And I vote BC There are few enough studs that it's always nice to keep Luestin babies with as few parents as possible to avoid inbreeding issues later down the road.

If I'd won her, I had considered naming her Spilled Milk.  Or whatever the Gavanian equivalent/translation is. [/uncreative]  But on reflection, that doesn't seem to suit her.  Maybe... hmm.  Something to do with moonlight, or obsidian, or some such?

A name suggestion: I'd say go with Ashke. It means beloved, which she is to you, I think. Or Something along the lines of Ebony and Ivory (I think of that song when I look at her) Or Oreo =D

As for breeding: I'd say go with your gut, and use either the BC or one of the gen 1 boys, while my own boy is lovely, don't use him with her, as you may end up with the lethal white. And he's a gen two. If you do go with one of the boys here: I dunno, I'd say go with the palomino. Only because it sounds like fun =D

Thanks guys!

I think I shall do a BC breeding with her.  Still undecided about a name though lol  I like the meaning of Ashke, but trying to pronounce it, it sound masculine to my ears somehow.  I'm weird, I know lol

There's also Kechara which also means beloved, or ainaak sivamet jutta which I believe was forever to my heart connected. uh, Ainaak enyam is my love. Uh, i forget the rest. lol, sorry.

[Kadana Sorano]

Ohhh Kechara sounds nice Kah!

What language is that btw?

[Kahlira]

Tayledras if I remember correctly, and i always forget the apostrophe. I really do. It's Ke'chara.

[Kadana Sorano]

Thank you Kah   Ke'chara has been named

[Kahlira]

Awesome =D

Kechara was a character, one of the gryphons who had amazing telepathic abilities. I really need to re-read that series, beginning to end.
