He came with his stable name Gilbert. I have checked Weatherbys name availability and Gilbert is not available. Do you have any suggestions ?

Gilbert Grape? Does he have to be registered with Weatherbys?

Gilbert the Great ?

Or Scott-Heron which is the surname of a fantastic musician Gil(bert) Scott-Heron.

What is his dam and sire name?
To be honest, as long as the name isn’t already taken then you can pretty much call him anything.
if you want Gilbert and it’s taken try something like Gil Bert

Roman numerals and suffix letters are your friend.
I once tried to call a horse "Whitey on the Moon" after Gil Scott Heron, (horse was a 2003 KPWN, so W year). Sadly the name change was rejected as I was trying to lose an originally assigned name....

I can't help but I do appreciate all the Gil Scott-Heron fans on the forum!

You may be able to get the passport overstamped and give your horse a name rather than go through Wetherby's where it is £200 to name a horse. It would be worth looking into and would give you greater scope for a name that hasn't already been takan by a racehorse.
