Please Do Us a Favor and Vote!

Out in the snow-dusted pasture of the Leaning T Ranch is a horse. A horse without a name and who has outgrown her reference of Filly. She's rather mild, somewhat opinionated, and likes to soak up attention. She also seems to get some sort of a harried thrill out of the electric fence, and apparently likes the way it feels tangled around her legs.

We, Brittney and Hannah, have formed a collaboration against unnamed pets on our ranch. Our combined efforts have recently given creative names to a litter of puppies upon the commencement of their darling lives. Extra-affectionate cats have borne with smug pride symbolic names such as Caper, Seraphina, Boots, Scar and Ginevar, also thanks to our humble operation.

However, the Filly in the dusted pastures has posed a whole new set of issues in the naming agenda. There is a fine-print policy in all the legalities of our attempted cooperation, stating that since she is of a larger species than a cat or puppy it is necessary therefore that a larger amount of opinions will surround the christening of this fine steed.

Brittney and Hannah, as members of the No Pet Left Behind act (the naming collaboration) have taken the matter into their hands. After extensive editing and refining the name candidates, we hereby deliver and submit the most appropriate names to the polls for the popular opinion of the public.


We ask that you, as the taxpaying public, would submit your vote on the names as follows. If you would like to represent a name of your own choosing, you are welcome to do so as we like to support the decisions of the public. However, the policy in general is that the name with the most votes will win in favor, and will be thusly christened to the unfortunate Filly without a name.



Jazzy
- somewhat suitable for the Filly's personality

Scarlet
- in memory of a severed hoof

Belle
- an unused horse name laying around the ranch

Petal
- something sweet

Nickers
- a horse whinny that means, "Welcome!"

Duchess
- [pronounced, Dutch-ess] a popular horse name with a trendy twist of class
(sponsored, approved of and endorsed by Hannah)

FaLize
- [pronounced, fa-lease]"Merry"... In accordance with the holiday season--i.e., "Feliz navidad"
(sponsored, approved of and endorsed by Brittney)

Please note that votes will be finalized on Friday, the 15th of December. You have until then to cast your ballot.

I like several names: Jazzy, Belle, Duchess, and Falize. Since Falize has 6 vote and the majority, The name Falize is the winner.

I'd certianly go for 'Petal' if it wasn't for the fact that 'FaLize' is very suitable for the season! ;-)
