Name my horse!

Hey everyone! I need help choosing a show name for the mare I just purchased. She's a chestnut, 16.1, Warmblood mare who I plan on bringing up the levels of eventing. Her barn name is Roux (which means reddish-brown hair in french) if that's any help to anyone, but the show name doesn't have to related to it at all! Get creative!

Is Roux the name on her passport, or just her stable name?

Sorry, a tad confused around if you’re just looking to change her stable name (I think Roux is quite easy to say, and original - works nicely?) or if you don’t have a passport for her/want to change her passport name (because it’s hideous/weird etc).

Both totally valid things to do, but Roux is a good strong name so could be used as both! ?

Roux is her stable name, but I'm looking for a name to be her passport name. I talked to her breeders and they deciding to sell her before giving her a name within the breed registry, (which is very nice but also kind of a lot of pressure lol).

If you're looking for some more info, her sire's name is Hope to Heaven, her dam's name is Iselle, and her dam's sire's name is Sir Chamberlain. She's chestnut with a blaze, two hind socks and one front sock. So far I have Heaven Sent and Mrs. Opportunity picked out, but I'm not sure I vibe with them.

I think Heaven Sent is quite a good one - I also really like the name Iselle, so here are some potential combos (with the red theme snuck in)..

Heaven’s Iselle
Rouxelle / Roselle
Heaven’s Chamber
Isellaine / Iselline
Red Heaven
Heaven’s Carmina (ie like Carmine = red, but also means ‘gardens’)
Carmina Burana (classic!)
Lady Iselle (possibly a bit boring)
Crimson Heaven
Crimson Hope
Carnelian Heaven
Carnelian Hope

Any combo of the above!

Crimson Heaven (posted by another but adding a vote)
Amaryllis
Cardinal Sin (Cardinals are a red bird and plant)
