I think it depends on the stud book you are registering the foal with.
Ours were by a stallion who is BWBS, we had to choose names that began with the first letter of the stallions name.
If we register with AES (Mare is reg. with them) we can just register whatever name we want.
Ours were by Icon's Image, we are going to register a prefix so their names will be

Fox Folly Independence (Dexter) ... he was going to be indestructable but we were worried it might be tempting fate!!!

Not too relevant, but thought I'd post this anyway... got it a few months ago:... this announcement made by the Swedish Warmblood Association of North America...
Important new rules about naming your horse:
Publication Date: Tuesday, April 01, 2008
In order to ensure that each Swedish registered horse can retain a unique identity, SWANA has adopted some important new rules for the naming of SWB horses. These rules are in place effective immediately for any new registration, regardless of the horses age or gender. Over the next few months, SWANA will also be retroactively re-issuing names for previously registered horses, except for those who may already meet the new criteria.
1. No abbreviations of any type will be allowed, this includes abbreviations for farm names or organizations. As an example, all L.A. Baltic horses will be renamed to Los_Alamos_Dressage_Baltic etc.
2. Blank spaces are no longer permissible; names must now include the underscore symbol as a word separator, so that "Shadow Dancer", for example, becomes "Shadow_Dancer". As an option, you may choose to spell out underscore instead of using the symbol, as in "ShadowUnderscoreDancer."
3. All names must begin with the first two letters of the sires name, end with the last two letters of the dams name, and include the middle letter of the breeders middle name, except in cases where this violates the i before e except after c rule, in which case you may swap the order of the aforementioned rule. If your middle name has an even number of letters, or if you do not have one at all, please contact SWANA to obtain an appropriate middle name.
4. The state flower of the breeders home state will be appended at the end of the horses name. If your home state does not have an official state flower, you will need to move to one that does before registering your horse. Canadians have the option of using Maple_Leaf or MapleUnderscoreLeaf if their province does not have an official flower.
5. In order to preserve lyrical integrity, horses in the desert will have no name.
6. Lastly, to guarantee that no duplicate names can exist, the cube root of the breeders zip code will be added to the square of the horses height at the time of registration, and this will be used as the prefix for the horses name. We are actively working on a new mathematical theorem that will allow us to take the cube root of Canadian postal codes. In the meantime, Canadians can submit the last five digits of their phone numbers.
Please note that April_Fools or AprilUnderscoreFools are not acceptable names.

As FoxFolly said - it does depend which registry you are going with. There is another post somewhere further down from a few weeks ago where someone very kindly listed the naming requirements of the different society's.
AES and SHB(GB) have no naming requirement and so name can be anything.
Zangersheide - name has to begin first letter of the stallion's name and end in Z - for example, Clinton is the sire of Clintissimo Z
I believe many of the other big registries such as Oldenburg and Hanoverian also require the first letter to be the first letter of the sire's name.
