Stable name for new TB - inspire me!

[tobiano1984]

I took delivery of my latest TB baby last night, and need to come up with a stable name as he's currently The Chestnut. His racing name is Ivan Mazzeppa which is horrendous and he's definitely not an Ivan. He's just turned 3, about 16.2, very handsome. No white on legs, lovely red chestnut, small snip on nose and very faint star.

Here's a pic - he's more red in real life! Any ideas? Just something short - I need to come up with something before people start calling him Ivan..!

I like Zephyr/Zep

Ivan is ok but just doesn't suit him. His neighbour is called Kevin!

He's going to be readjusted, reschooled and then probably up for sale depending on how he goes. Got a couple in at the moment!

Just googled "Ivan Mazeppa" and it appears he is named after a rather famous figure in Ukrainian history. In fact there is a street named after him and a monument erected in his honour in Kiev !
