At least for me, although I doubt I'm the only one who runs into this problem.
There is it, sitting all nice and new in front of you. The color is (mostly) obvious, the gender is *turn it over* blatantly obvious...and the breed type can at least be determined with a general glance over.
But that leaves a name. If you're lucky, you have a BSO that this body fits perfectly. If you're smart, you create BSOs and then buy bodies to match them. I am neither lucky or smart.
My newest acquisitions have given me similar issues.
This one came easily. He's such a powerful, strong looking stud. I've recently started watching Naruto, an anime-cartoon, and the episode before I got online featured a Shuriken, a weapon that looks like a group of sharp windmill blades. So I named him Shuriken.
His mare was a bit harder. But when I looked at this picture, she just seemed so feminine and royal, she reminded me of a queen. The part of The Lion King where Scar calls Simba's mom up to the ledge, by yelling "Sarabiiii!!" popped into my head. So I shortened it and called her Naabi, a mix of Sarabi and Nala.
This girl's colors were so bright, she made me think Hot Tamale, which wasn't very original. And next came to mind- I like it hot. Another pretty cliche name. So I decided to twist it a bit and came up with I Like It Spicy.
These two haven't been named yet, but I will share their "Ah-hah!" moments here once I decide!
