So, Toby needs a registered name, something appropriate for his appearence into the world!
Bekas full name is Priorywood Final Frontier, named because her dad, Nicky, was Longmead Voyager (the Trekkie in Si was too great to argue with!) and Beka was supposed to be the last and only foal we got from Nicks line.
Zorro is just Zorro, so we wont take any notice of that!!!
I'd like to keep the theme, but cant think of anything appropriate. Any ideas greatly received :-)

I'm not familiar with the naming practice but I am reminded of
Crewman Daniels
who, after his 'demise' in the series keeps on turning up again and again unexpectedly.
Hey, I never said I was imaginative!

The Jockey Club refused to allow a gelding to race under the name of "Noblelocks"!

Since he just seems to have "popped in" -- how about something with the "Q" character?

Not really;-)

How about 'something' Paris (character in Voyager but means other things to lots of people so doesn't label you a 'trekkie' if you don't want to be!!) i.e. Priorywood Paris
(and if Paris gets the 2012 Olympics it would be a topical name for the year)

Priorywood Enterprise or, since the arrival was unannounced, Priorywood Enter Surprise (groan ...)
if the foal takes foolish risks you could always come up with Priorywood Redshirt :-) but maybe that's inviting trouble!
When we wanted to breed from Meg about 10 years ago we came up with the name "Nereid" - which has nowt to do with TV programs (except perhaps Patrick Moore's "The Sky at Night") since Nereid is the name given to one of Neptune's moons - appropriate because Nereids in classical literature are sea nymphs - Neptune (Roman name, aka Poseidon for the Greeks) courted one, and Neptune is the God of the Sea, horses and err... earthquakes ...?
So, there's a sort of space theme going, a sort of horse theme, and a nice dollop of mythology (not to mention an earth-shattering surprise ...).
We still like the name and might use it one day (if we're lucky), but there's no reason that there can't be a Priorywood Nereid. The mother of the Nereids was called Doris, no, really. She made a luvverly cup o' char, did Doris ...
Okay, forget the Nereid and the Nemesis ... I just read the first post, and Toby probably isn't girly enough to use either of these feminine names ... d'oh!
