Compound Gaelic Name Help, Please

[Roan]

My mare is an unregistered Lipizzaner and I want to register her this year.

Lipizzan fillys/mares must be registered with a name that begins with the same letter as the dam, with an "a" on the end.

Her dam's name is Canissa-10, so her registered name must begin with a "C" and end with an "a".

Currently my "C" name of choice is Càiristiona, however her barn name is Fionna. If possible I'd like to use that in the name I would register her as. I want her name Gaelic, of course.

Anyhow, I also don't want something so long that it would be too difficult to pronounce -- I do intend to show her and it wouldn't do to have the announcer trip over the name too much.

What I am looking for is a "C" word that I can use as a prefix to "Fionna". Yes, I am aware that an adjective is supposed to go after the name, ie: Fionna beag, but I'll just have to make do.

As for Fionna : Physically she's big, white, has "freckles" that are red-brown, a Roman nose, and wavy/curly mane and tail. She bounces when she walks/trots/canters.

Mentally: she's very opinionated and feels that everyone exists to serve her. She's also very willing -- she tries very hard -- and VERY forgiving (of my numerous mistakes).

So, any suggestions from the pros?

Okay, never mind.

I just heard from people from both Lipizzaner registries that Fionnghuala is perfectly acceptable. So, I'm probably going to go with that.

One more question, though, I've heard this pronounced a few different ways and I currently say "Fee-ON-gala" - is that how it should be pronounced?

Gaelic words always have the stress on the first syllable, except AFAIK for some Irish dialects.

According to this site the name is made of two words, so my best guess is Fin-GHUA-la or FIN-ghuala, with dark n and l. The gh is like the ch in "Loch", but it's voiced.

i'd make it

FYON-gwala

with the g somewhat gargled
