The longest word in the English language is
flocci­nauci­nihili­pili­fication (means the act of estimating something as worthless)
The longest word (may be in the dictionary) is
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis(a lung disease). It is a medical word.

A bit more info could be useful, like the colour, breed, gender...but dont worry :) If it's grey - Rainbow's Collection Realm of Silver If it's got some welsh breeding : Rhifyn Brenhinol (means Royal Issue) Melody Brenhinol (means Royal Melody) Or just put Royal, or Jubilee in a name or somehting :)

If it's in the dictionary then it's Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. But there are longer words.

'Floccinoccinililipilification', in English, (the act of saying something is worthless, ironically)
Or, philosophically, 'hope'.
