Another naming contest!

Post by Laura Cameron »

I still have 80+ unnamed 2yos. I've run out of imagination. Fortunately, Nikki Sherman has allowed me to borrow her naming contest idea, so I'm hoping the creativity of other SIMsters can help me out!

Since these are already 2yos, I can't be terribly picky. No names that simply take a word from each parent's name, please - I could do that myself. I will Australian-ise any American spellings as a personal preference. Please post your suggestions in this thread.

Prizes: $1,000 per name I approve of, plus a $50,000 bonus for the person who names the most horses. Since these horses have already been galloped, I can't offer the same gallop prizes as Nikki. However, I will give a $25,000 bonus to anyone who names a horse that *improves* on their yearling gallop to become 'wow'/'stakes' and a $50,000 bonus for naming a horse whose gallop improves to 'scary good'/'special'.

Click here for the horses.

Thanks :D

Thanks for the entries so far, lots of great suggestions!

I've already used some of the ones I particularly loved and I'm keeping track of the numbers in an Excel doc. I'll do a final tally and award the prizes after races open, so people can continue entering until then if they wish. However, the earlier you get your entries in, the better chance they have of being used.

Final numbers are in:
Danny Warren - 50 names - $50,000 + $50,000 bonus = $100,000
Kelley Wachter - 22 names - $22,000
Tiyoun Long - 4 names - $4,000
Tiff Severson - 2 names - $2,000
Ashley Hut - 1 name - $1,000
Dogan Melan - 1 name - $1,000

I gave credit for a handful of names that I didn't use exactly as suggested, but which gave me an idea. I gave Danny credit for D!ck Dastardly, because I love it, even though it's apparently too 'inappropriate' to actually use :roll:

Unfortunately there were no gallop improvers so no bonuses there.

A big thanks and congratulations to all who entered! Please private offer me a horse for your prize amount and I'll send it back once the waiting period is up. I'll send out PMs in a few days to anyone who hasn't claimed their prize.
