Question
Dear Maria
I wonder if you can help I am looking to add to my horses name and would like to know what 'blue eyes', 'blue' and 'sweetie'are in Latin.  I apologise is this sounds strange she will not have them all added just the one that sounds the best.
Thank you very much


Answer
Hello,

Your question is quite strange indeed, as you say.
Anyway “blue eyes” translates in Latin as “caerulei oculi”, where “oculi”  is “eyes” and “caerulei” is “blue”.

As for “sweetie”, it can be translated as “deliciae meae”, while the adjective “blue” is “caeruleus” in Latin, but it must agree in case, gender and number with the noun it refers to.  
Here however you did not  specify such a noun and then I had to tell you only the nominative case in the masculine.

Best regards,
Maria
