Hmmm, I've always gone with names like 'Butterfly' (After Papilon' Roland's horse.), 'Peony', 'Buttercup', 'Dobbin', and 'Whitemuzzle'. I've run into a lot more horses with names like that than 'Odin's Thunder' and 'Hellfury'. For some reason there are folks who think my names for horses is weird...
The Auld Grump, 'Mist' is also good, and some day I will use the name 'Wall', for the horse of Richard III.

From one of my favorite movies (which I ended up getting the Walmart-approved edited version, dang it!), Rustler's Rhapsody, how about Wildfire?

Not An Evil Twin
Ooo, Ooo, a few that I inexplicably left off:
An Amerindian-influenced ranger with a buckskin medium warhorse named "Traveler" (after Robert E. Lee's horse).
A wizard/rogue with an Appaloosa named "Bucephalus".
A Celtic warrior with a white pegasus named "Star-Wing". He originally tried to capture the beast cos it would be way cool to have a pegasus mount, but the pair wound up in a fight with a very hungry dragonne.
The warrior stayed and fought alongside the pegasus, whom he freed after the battle, realizing that he'd been a big (borderline evil) jerk to try and enslave it -- which also struck at one of his core reasons for adventuring (village devastated by slave-takers, *sob* revenge, free da slaves, yaddayaddayadda). The critter decided that the fighter wasn't actually bad at heart (just stupid) and stayed with him after. It developed into a pretty cool partnership.
A kobod with an elephant mount named "Stewart" (after the annoying blond fat kid on "Beavis & Butt-Head"), complete with multi-level howdah.
Also, IMC, a PC has a bipedal dinosaurian mount (these creatures,and quadrepedal dinosaurian beasts of burden, are more common that equines, IMC; horses are a rare critter, and single-toed modern horses are even more rare and valuable) named "Adolpho" (after the PC's father, whom he did not get along well with).
A Dwarf PC IMC has a small herd of mutant multi-legged eohippi, which she wants to train and exhibit in a circus/carnival setting. She hasn't named them yet (but knowing her, they'll prolly have "mineral" names, such as "Quartz", "Agate", "Zirconium", etc.).

Bob. Bob the brown horse.
You laugh, but that horse was immortal. Durn thing never once, in a four-five year weekly marathon campaign, failed a saving throw. We sank a ship under it, lost all hands, Bob fought his way out from the hold and made it to shore. Followed us through multiple dimensions without batting an eyelash. My character thought that Bob was a demon-horse, but he wasn't. Just really fleeming lucky.

In our main campaign, my characters have riding mares named Ashes and Moondancer. The pack mules are Henry and Layla. Before Layla there was a mule named Manshoon.
In our smaller campaign my character is already on her third horse, Pembleton (Tordek and Kelvin are in the big corral in the sky...)

If it's a white stallion, call it Binky.
