Ibn Khaldun was a famous historian and traveler. Ibn Batutta was also a famous traveler from Tangiers. Those could be quite appropriate if he's going into endurance.

I think the dog name you are thinking of is Ibn el Kalba....probably could be good on certain occasions.

"Ibn"  means "son of."  You could call him "Ibn <name of sire>" but that

might not work so well if his sire's name is, say, "Twinkle Toes."  Maybe

Ibn Colt  (Son of a Gun!)  Sorry, don't know the Arabic for a female

canine.  (One is never the son-of <a woman>, anyway.)  All of that

style naming is pretty Quarter-Horsey, though.

 

You could pick one of the famous "Ibn"s, like:  Ibn Saud, Ibn Rashid

(they'd love you in the UAE :-), or maybe Ibn Khaldun (famous Islamic

historian and philosopher).  Probably already taken.

 

What are your dreams for the horse?  Pick your "I" from that.

 

More random I's:

 

Isengard

Illium

Ibex

Ibis

Intaglio
