Our player who likes doing this to the DM: “So they’re giving us horses? What are the horses’ names?” Our DM: “…no. You choose.”
This is how I accidentally named one guy “ThisGuy” and the other, “Thatguy.”
On the plus side, Jim Bob the bridge builder is a long term friend I keep looking up when we visit town.
“Dasher, Dancer, Prancer…”
“His name is Meatball”
“Horsey McHorseFace.”
“You no longer have the right to choose.”
“They aren’t attached enough to the horses to have chosen names for them, they are referred to by their coat colour.”
“What colours are they?”
“…fuck.”
Id just use a random name sheet. Get some fancy names print em out sprinkle in a little setting specific stuff and roll dice for it. 100 names each and a D100 will do the trick, if its not fitting at all, just roll again.
Look at you, planning in advance
Only got to do it once. Make a name binder and you’re set.
Gotta remember to bring the name binder though :P
…this is why I leave the DMing to my friend
