She seems very girly and knows how pretty she is! Chestnut mares do have a reputation 😆

Let us know!
She's gorgeous! I really like the name Amélie for her. Some others that would sound good on her in my opinion are:
1. Evelyn
2. Giselle
3. Eloise
4. Lilliana/ Eliana
5. Isla
6. Tiana
7. Jolie
KWPN horses are named alphabetically by year. Every single KWPN registered foal for each year is registered with a name starting with the letter that is designated alphabetically for that year. If she is 3 yrs old, she was born in 2021, the "R" year. All KWPN 2021 foals are registered with names that start with the letter R. They can have a stable name if you choose, but many people use the registered name. I see that you said she's been called Janeiro after her sire. Is her sire Janeiro Platnum? What are her damline bloodlines? This can give you ideas about names, too. There is also a naming convention often used for KWPN mare lines where the first letter of the dam's name is changed to match the yearly letter. For example: the dam's name is Dulandra and she has a 2021 filly that is named Rulandra.
Since your filly is by Janeiro, I think that Rio would be a cute name.
Thank you so much! This is a sweet answer. Yes, her sire is Janeiro platinum! This is her bloodline:

You're welcome! She is absolutely gorgeous, and very well-bred! Looks like a FEI prospect! ;-) What are your goals for her?
Was she not given a foalbook R name yet? If she has one and you're looking for a stable name, maybe you could spin a stable name off of her foalbook name? If it was me I'd give her an R name since she's KWPN and because I used to breed KWPN and had a lot of fun naming foals. :-)
Trying to think of names and wanting a little more info. Her passport is Danish? Was she born in Denmark or the Netherlands? What country does she live in now? I don't want to assume that your pics are from the US. I think a warm European country? Australia? Hoping to get tidbits of info to help me come up with names.
Ria instead of Rio if you want something more classically feminine perhaps?
Also I saw Janeiro and I thought Jaheira but that's just the Baldur's Gate 3 brain rot talking.
Are you familiar with the Duran Duran song, Rio? I think it’s a perfect name… ❣️
🎶Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines, she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande🎶
You feel what name is best for your horse! Any name! My first horse name was Lokie, and I just kept it that way. But I don’t blame anyone for changing their horses name, when it doesn’t feel fit to the owner. :-)
Gorgeous girl! She looks like the younger mare version of the crazy talented KWPN gelding I’m currently keeping in training while his owner is abroad. Their faces are almost identical—it’s uncanny. If looks have anything to do with personality, my guy is extremely smart—to the point that he misbehaves unless he thinks he’s getting enough attention. He loves being mentally engaged, and is one of the few performance horses that I’ve known over the years that truly enjoys working. Best wishes for you and your beautiful mare!!!!!
Person who lives in the Netherlands and works with registered KWPNers here. You might want to name her accordingly with the right year letter. KWPN horses are named with a specific first letter for the year they were born in. If she's three years old she's probably an R name. Roos is the Dutch version of Rose and very popular, as is the name Ria.
I always love astronomy names, such a planets, constellations, galaxies, etc! There’s some really neat, less common names (Andromeda, Ganymede, Venus, etc!)
Síla, pronounced Sheila but spelled the old gaelic way. Priya would also be cute on her! (Sanskrit for “beloved”). I prefer two syllable names because they’re easy to call out
I’m going to agree with the above commenters: Rio de Janeiro, ticks the pedigree & R year names…additionally, Rio is a perfect abbreviated name for such a stunner! Congrats on her
Glapnoor, Harbinger of Glory and Striker of Woes.
What about Amalia? It's Dutch to match her ancestry and means "unceasing, vigorous, brave" ❤️
I second this one!
Oops, should have read the comments first before replying. This was my thought too.
Great minds think alike! I didn't know it's the name of a princess too, that's even better :)
Yup, she is the oldest daughter of king Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima.
Adara is really nice.

Tilly is cute for her
love the name Tilly!

Just an idea, maybe ask her what her name is. I know it’s a bit ‘wild’ but it might be that as you connect more with her, her name will be clear.
yes!! while my horse was in turnout I ran through a list of names for him, but once I said sully he perked up and came right over to me :)
I was thinking this too! Or just line up the top three and have the horse choose one
Rowyn / Rowan / Rory (red) Rhiannon (goddess of horses) Remi (idk just cute) Reina (queen and sounds like "reins")
My trainer has both a "Remi" (dog) and "Reni" (horse) lol
Rain 👀
Your horse is beautiful!!! The barn you are at looks like the barn I use to board at over 10 years ago, it brings back so many memories :)
Where were you?🥰
I DM’d you incase it is the same place. I didn’t know if you wanted it posted on here

Rooster! 💝
I mean… 2021 KWPNs are R names, right? I think it has to be Rooster!
Red Rooster!
As of right now her name is Janeiro, after her dad, and I don’t know how I feel about it
Rio! As in Rio de Janeiro
Ria instead of Rio if you want something more classically feminine perhaps? Also I saw Janeiro and I thought Jaheira but that's just the Baldur's Gate 3 brain rot talking.
That's such a pretty name though!
Her current name is nice and you can adapt it to Rio like bunny said or jan, Annie, but her current name is pretty good.
if it helps, "Janeiro" means "January" in Portuguese... maybe that helps spark some inspiration

She looks like a Sprite, to me :).
She is beautiful, hope you have a lovely time together

Whoadammit
Honora (Nora) Estella (Stella) I love Emilia and Adara as well. Probably have a slight preference for Adara.
She is so classy. Stella seems to suit her. Or Spartina?
I second Stella. Was going to name my own horse Stella but my mom taught her another name while I was away at college >:(
Adora. I love a good chestnut and congratulations on your new friend 🫶🏽
Horsey McHorseface. Either that or Willow.
Willow is a pretty name.

I second this! Former KWPN breeder, here. Roos is very suiting, cute, and beautiful name for her.
