Can U help to name a Lusitano colt? - needs to begin with a "J"

[Andiamo]

I need your help in naming my new baby

I have a new palomino Lusitano colt, born in 2014, he needs a name beginning with a "J" for his year of birth (in accordance with Luso naming rules).

I'd like it to have an Iberian feel, so could be Portuguese or Spanish.... no Jeffs, Joe's, or Jack's please! Creativity is good, but must be pronounceable. He's a big softie, very sweet and loving, so I would like it to sound soft, because he wouldn't really suit a "hard" or fierce sounding name

I need to make a decision in a few days time, so it can go in his passport

I've thought of a few myself, Javignon, Javidoff, Jalisco, Jimango, Jumanji....

Thanks for your help!

Just looking at my Portuguese dictionary ( ) - Janota (means smart/elegant) Jeitoso (handsome) Jogada (play) Jogral (jester) Juba (mane) Juizo (common sense)

HTH!

Jupilor, Jango, Jesus (pronounced heyzeus)

@The Tank - Jango is quite nice it's going on my shortlist

I like Jango! A friend has a kitten she named Jango, and he really suits it. I also like Jupiter.

Jupilor, Jango, Jesus (pronounced heyzeus)

the 'J' in Portuguese is not pronounced the same as in Spanish just fyi

Jango is cool though.

I like Jango and Jupiter!

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but must a Lusitano be named with the first letter of the month they were born? Is that a fun custom or is it mandatory?

 

[Auslander]

Javier - means "bright", which kinda works with the palomino thing.

 

[suffolkmare]

Jupiter, Jango, Juno, Juan..(uh oh... "Just Juan Cornetto...sorry!)
Some great ideas, let us know what you decide, and piccies please!

Lusitanos are named with a letter assigned to their birth year, so all foals born in 2014 will have a name beginning with J. In Portuguese J is not pronounced with a soft "h" sound as in Spanish (Julio = "Hulio"); it is a hard J as in "James".

 

[Dusty85]

I was going to say Javier too! Or Javiera.

Josias

Jacinta means beautiful.

Jorge

Jeraldo (pronouced heraldo) means rule by the spear!

Jeremias

When I got my first Bengal cat I looked at the county they came from on google maps and then chose a place name I liked! You could do that... just look for the ones which start with "J" in Portugal?
