Is she off track? Any fun lineage names you can play off of?

I named my gelding “A Boy named Sioux”, we call him Sioux for his barn name. His parents were Stockyards Cowboy and Indian in the Cupboard. Lol.

I’m just going to throw out a list of random ideas lol
1. Dark Decorum
2. Dark Adornment
3. Driftless (this is a very midwestern reference as Decorah is a popular city in the Driftless area of the Midwest…so very niche lol)
4. Antipatharia (This is a type of really cool looking black coral, so a play on her barn name and color)
5. Cor Unum (Latin for one heart)
6. Corrigenda (Latin for things to be corrected)
7. Midnight Maiden

Sorry if I'm a bit late to the party, but here are a few options to throw out there. I was researching online, and Decorah, Iowa (I live in Iowa, a different area, but crazy), is named after one of the first families there, and the name actually derives from the French name "De Corre". So there are a bunch of options to keep her barn name as Cora! Here are just a few:

-Final Encore
-Ask for An Encore
-Blazing Encore (nod towards coal/dark coat)
-Starlit Encore (star marking)
-Beyond Decorah
-Drifting to Decorah
-Heart of Decorah
-Opulent Decorum
-Laced with Decorum
-Etoile de Corre (Star of de corre in french, since she has a little star)
-Cordelia Ascending (If you want to give her a full human name)

Hopefully this is helpful, I'm just throwing names out there to see if any of them fit. I wish you the best of luck with your new horse, and that you guys get to spend an amazing summer together!
