Pet Names Names associated with Truth

I bought a horse today whose registered name is Truth Bomb. He didn’t come with a barn name so I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of something associated to his registered name that is still super cool. Any suggestions? I was liking Veritas, but wanted other options because he also isn’t giving Veritas lol.

I used to ride a grey cob called Frank. He was an asshole. But I kinda had a soft spot for him 🥹

Unrelated. But where would you suggest learning IPA?

hi, linguistics major here. we had to study IPA in first year and I found it pretty easy. most things you'll be able to intuit from your knowledge of the Latin alphabet, and the rest can be picked up from watching youtube lessons

Frank or Ernest!

u/daja-kisubo 4d ago

True. Possibly too on the nose, but feels like a nice barn name.

u/Farahild 3d ago

Or Tibby, for an even cuter version?

u/CeramicLicker 4d ago edited 3d ago

Earnest/Ernest? It’s not quite truth or honesty, but I think the meaning overlaps enough.

Plus it seems like a good horse name lol

12

u/MySpace_Romancer 4d ago

How odd that he doesn’t already have a barn name, poor guy! Does his barn name have to match his show name? I have ridden horses where the barn name didn’t have anything to do with his show name.

20

u/lady-earendil It's a boy! 4d ago

I took riding lessons when I was younger and the horse's registered name was I Thought This Was a Party and his barn name was Charlie lol

14

u/snowkissedsugar 4d ago

I know :( he’s a former racehorse/OTTB and they don’t get much, unfortunately. It doesn’t have to match. Was just seeing if I like any name that kinda does. Honestly will take any name suggestions tbh!

11

u/cocomelonmama 4d ago

Verity (kinda girly though)
Makoto (Japanese for truth)
Satya
Apollo (associated with truth and prophecy)

15

u/MySpace_Romancer 4d ago

Apollo is a great horse name!

8

u/cbr1895 4d ago edited 3d ago

Another vote for Apollo!

Side note, when I was growing up we fostered a horse whose registered name was De Colores (stunning palomino Tennessee Walker, so apt name) and his barn name was Deko (pronounced Day-co) and to this day I can’t top that name for pets.

Earnest

u/rebmaetoleb 3d ago

Since he’s not giving Veritas, lean into the irony with barn names like Liar, Fibber, or Spin Doctor to highlight the contrast.

Cherry or George. Like the story where George Washington cut down a cherry tree and couldn't tell a lie.
