What about the fillies? Jezebel was bad.

Lauren of Rochelle.......... or was it Lauren of La Rochelle in the South?
Who knows what she’s been up to lately...........

IMHO this world has gone far to PC. Are we going to look at every aspect of life, name, action etc to try and find something wrong with it as it is not PC. Banning Noddie and Bigears etc to me is ludicrous. Dont look for a reason to get upset about something. The breeders did not name General Franco because they agreed with everything he did or stood for I am sure. Look at my 2 favourite horses. Scarlet Lady ( a prostitute) Politician ( how many murdering thieving pieces of human excrement have been politicians?) It is the name of a racehorse and that is that. Anyway that is my opinion and apparently I am entitled to it.

Some Breeders do give thought into naming foals.

Pale Moon Rising is the dam of General Franco.

Pale Moon Rising

Pale Moon Rising is a 1977 novel by Manning O'Brine. The last of his 11 books about secret agents and their murderous struggles with Nazis both during and after World War II, it was published by Futura in England and by St. Martin's Press in the United States, apparently the same year that O'Brine died. It is narrated by a nameless hero of Italian birth and more than one nationality, who joins the British undercover services in the early days of the war, impelled primarily by a single-minded, overriding desire to kill Germans.

After months of arduous training in all parts of the British Isles, he is parachuted into the French countryside to take up the leadership of a band of a Resistance fighters. Grim and totally with humor, the rest of the book is a straightforward narrative of his brutal and merciless attacks against German targets, his eventual capture by the Gestapo in Paris, the ghastly tortures he undergoes at their hands, and his escape from their heavily guarded prison. In the final pages he makes his way south over a period of weeks to Marseille, garroting or otherwise killing dozens of German troops as he proceeds. The last we see of him, he has urinated into a large soup pot in a restaurant's kitchen, a soup that will be used to feed German officers. He is headed for a small sailboat in which he will try to reach the British sanctuary of Gibraltar—since the book begins many years later with the hero's reflections as he visits the over-grown site of one of his early training camps, we know that he does indeed successfully evade the German forces who have been scouring France for him.

......wow....and no coincidence that these breeders have subliminally locked into the owners private passions.....as the very same part owner of FUTURA which we now see is the name of a well known a book publisher and now I too get how he was named Dynasty X Scribbling the Cat.... very clever ....

......looked into why Klawervlei are the registered breeders and see that the mare was imported by them in 2017 with little Franco in-vetro.....so it has that tainted Jooste touch....and that I find more offensive than the name that was chosen for him......:S

Bridget O was very clever in subliminal naming eg Grey’s Inn is out of Great Verdict. Gray’s Inn is an association of lawyers in London. (Gray was changed to Grey because the former had been registered).
As for her daughter Mary, the other side of the spectrum, eg Wonder Lawn.

.......the naming of Wonder Lawn has been discussed on local forum before.....as many just did not get it.... and wondered what it had to do with Fort Wood......pedigree Fort Wood X Velvet Green.....Wonder Lawn is actually a branded trade mark for a special grass that can grow in the shade of most trees....

i am offended by all the islamic names.
i am offended by all the afrikaans names
i am offended by all the african names

i have facebook,twitter,instagram i will be offended

There needs to be context and time line consideration rather than just opinion and or critics of what is PC or not, the context for General Franco and implications of time lines points to the name being used as offensive. Franco was in power from 1939 to 1975 which means there are many people alive that this name will offend.

Napoleon died in May 1821 so a mute point when considering if there are people from the same era that would be offended.

The same as when social norms change over time, right or wrong, e.g. no longer using "big ears" from Noddy, you may not like it but society has changed. Smacking kids now has guidelines and or is illegal in certain countries..... and it is no longer legal to beat your wife with a stick having a width wider than your thumb. "the rule of thumb"

I hear the PC brigade are up in arms about the title “Sugar Daddy”
The gender neutral gang would like the title to be “Glucose Guardian”

Why do some people think that they should be offended and act like they are,when in reality they don’t give two hoots..Do you know that a certain coffee shop are renaming their “Gingerbread Man” biscuit to “Gingerbread Person”
