My four-year-old comes up with some pretty great names for her toys. There are the mainstays like Chokuls and Chicken Nuggets, which are plastic horses involved in a variety of stories, and then there are the stream of consciousness names that she spits out and probably immediately forgets (I certainly have trouble keeping track). A recent favorite is Trapsicle, who actually appears to be working its way into the regular lexicon. Orange the orange horse sheds a little light on one common naming method — color references — and others are just bizarre or joyously nonsensical, like Fadda and Duda Foss.
