You can apply for change of name with the Irish Horse Society.

As above, I was going to do the exact same thing, I hated his passport name I thought it was totally meaningless until I managed to trace his previous owners and I found out what his name meant and it was so symbolic to me now I couldn't possibly have changed it!

If he has a prefix then you may have to contact the owners.We have a prefix registered with The Irish Horse Board and the new owners have to ask us for permission to change it.

I thought it was bad luck to rename a horse?
