Ok, so we’re house shopping and we found a small farm in our price range. I loved the house and the view is incredible, plus he had several horses. The owner said we could pick a horse to go with the house! I fell in love with a very gentle black saddlebred gelding…absolutely gorgeous! I need a name for him, but am coming up blank. It’s been my lifelong dream to have a small farm with a horse…Oh, man am I excited!!!

Congrats. 🙂 I’m excited for you!
Of the horses I’ve known… the short names have been “Fancy” “Surreal” (Sur), “Namron” (Norman in reverse), “Justy”, “Blackberry”, “Courage”, “Commanche” and then there was “Wart” and “Taco” but… those may not suit him! Hope these serve as inspiration for you.. Good luck. You’ll find the perfect name, I’m sure of it. If not.. there’s always:

Considering what Fiasco translates to.. I’m not sure you want negative feelings around him. He’s gentle and is helping you fulfill your lifelong dream. I’d pick a more upbeat name. I’m not familiar with the Othello play, but it does have a nice sound to it. Can you imagine yourself yelling it at him when he does something you dislike? Or sharing your experiences of him with someone else with that name
If you want something like “Blessing”
Bendició (literally bendición) is spanish for Blessing and rolls off the tongue kind of nice. Shortens to Benny? *isn’t sure why I have so many strange suggestions for this horse* Sorry! Hah. I’ll stop 😉I’ve always loved names having to do with the wind for horses. See this link for some interesting options:

I wish….I just met him today and it was a total shock when he said I could keep one! I never dreamed the house would come with a horse!! It’ll take a bit of time and work to sell this house but he doesn’t mind the wait. I’ll see if I can visit him in the meantime and get some pics!! Oh, he’s gorgeous! Big and glossy and BEAUTIFUL! I really liked some of the wind names…keep suggesting! I’ll take all the help I can get!! 😀 (going back to peruse wind names…) 😀

Zephyr was the first thing that crossed my mind when wind names were mentionned, especially since he’s gentle. Breeze might also do it.
