An important part of the Santa traditions is how he gets around – namely, his sleigh pulled by reindeer and boomers.
And of course we want to know the names of those precious reindeer and boomers.
Just for fun, though, I want to know what names you would have given to Santa’s reindeer if you’d had the choice. Maybe you’d have used some of the existing names (Dancer, Prancer, Donner, Blitzen, Comet, Vixen, Cupid and Dasher) or maybe you’d have your 8 favourite names instead.
So share your list of 8 reindeer names for Santa (you never know, he may just use them if he retires his current reindeer!) and the list I like the most will win a Love Santa letter prize.
Only family friendly names please…
If I could name Santa’s next generation of reindeer. I would name them:
1. Joy: Christmas brings joy
2. Peace: Christmas is about Peace on Earth
3. Snowy: Christmas reminds me of snow
4. Candie: We all love Christmas Candy
5. Blinky: Christmas lights blink
6. Tiny: Tiny hands open presents
7. Ringer: Christmas Bells ringing
8. Melody: Christmas songs
Finally, the most important reindeer of all, the one who would replace Rudolf. He would be carrying the sleigh when no other reindeer could. His name would be Star. I would name him Star for the simple fact that a star shine bright. Star the reindeer would shine bright and light up the sky every Christmas Eve.
Thanks for creating that list Lisa 🙂
I’m resisting commenting on it specifically to keep things fair and let everyone devise their own lists, but I enjoyed reading the names and your reasons.
You are welcome! I enjoyed writing it.
I think the nations of the world should be represented so my lsit is:
1. Blinky (like Blinky Bill!)
2. Rapido
3. Ciel
4. Mýga
5.Tobu
6. Himmel
7. Cepat
8. Olen
Thanks for naming Santa’s reindeer, Jaxx.
Again, I’m resisting commenting as this is a competition, hohohoho!
I love the idea of naming Santa’s reindeer! But I just can’t think of any clever names to list – will have to think about it some more…
I don’t know that Santa would worry about ‘clever’ names for his reindeer, Junaita. Just names that seem somehow special to you is what we’re after…
Ok, it wasn’t an easy choice!
I love the idea of including international names, Jaxx, as Santa is part of the world, not just one area of culture – and I had to laugh at Blinky being the first name!
Lisa, you came up with some great names and the reason behind each one was a lovely touch.
However, I can’t resist Star, Tiny and Peace so Lisa is our lucky winner 🙂
If I had a chance I would name it Hope. I guess Star, Love or Peace would be good too 🙂
All nice names, too, Trissandra 🙂
Can you tell me what the raindeers names are please. 😛
