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!
 
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?
 
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".

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?
 
Jacinto/ Jacinta

Ok these next ones aren't cultural but they begin with a 'J' and are a bit fun...
