Naming Help!

[ria.mills]

I just bought a flea bitten grey Arabian mare about a month ago and I’m having trouble coming up with a name for her. She came with the name Shakira but me and my instructor agree it doesn’t fit her well and plus I can’t not think of the singer. I’ve thought about a few names such as
Pepper
Scarlet
Aurora
Mirage
But I feel like none of them are quite right. She’s very feisty and independent yet very well mannered. I’m trying to come up with a name that maybe still goes with Arabian theme but if not then a name that sounds elegant yet powerful. Open to any name suggestions.

What about looking at Arabian words, like Elixir, Zenith, or a constellation like Altair?

Aquila means bright in Arabic. Zahra means radiant. Malika means leader/ruler. They might suit an independent, strong grey horse.

We need a photo so we can see if the name fits.

I looked up some Arabic words:
Pretty - Jamila
Elegant - Aniq
Chic - Anaqa

Or there's a bunch of Arabic girls' names with meanings here. Lots of very fitting possibilities.

Scheherazade. Name her after a strong, beautiful, clever, Arab female! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade
