   Names of Santa's reindeer?
  I cannot for the life of me find any reliable information about the names of Santa's reindeer, and more importantly how many there are.Google came up with a few suggestions but they included names like Cupid and Comet.. which don't sound like real names to me. Or are they?So far I've got:Rudolph, Donner (spelling?), Dasher, Prancer, Blitzen.Anyone know what the others are called / how many there are?   
  Look up the lyrics to Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer: the opening verse lists them all.  And yes, Comet and Cupid are two of them.  The rest are hard to spell, so I won't try.  *edit: And there are eight, plus Rudolph.*edit2: I can't believe I spelled reindeer that wayCM   ;  dasher, dancer, prancer, vixencomet, cupid, donner, blitzenrudolph is a marketting invention and is not apochryphal   ;  Thankyou both XD   ;Quote:    You know Dasher and Dancer    And Prancer and Vixen,    Comet and Cupid    And Donner and Blitzen,    But do you recall    The most famous reindeer of all?I'm curious, though, on what you would consider "reliable" information about Santa's reindeer :)   ;  Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, Sneezy...wait...nevermind[wink]   ;  that was off the top of my head, but I checked it, it's good.it's dancer and vixen that everyone forget.   ;Quote:Original post by etothexI'm curious, though, on what you would consider "reliable" information about Santa's reindeer :):PHe's real, deal with it!Here's a pic of Santa for your trouble. See? Totally unarguably real.They'll be leading him in my Chrimbo Defender clone   ;Quote:Original post by capn_midnightrudolph is a marketting invention and is not apochryphalThe other eight were invented for The Night Before Christmas, so such an argument is flimsy at best.  They're all just additions to make children smile.CM   ;Quote:Original post by Conner McCloudQuote:Original post by capn_midnightrudolph is a marketting invention and is not apochryphalThe other eight were invented for The Night Before Christmas, so such an argument is flimsy at best.
