I don't really like "code red" myself... it reminds me of the soda... and that doesn't give me the impression of "profession". I named my new horse "Helios Pyrrohs" because I'm really into greek mythology (Helios is the sun god, it means "sun" and Pyrrohs means"flame-like") it doesn't really make any sense when you put it together and I sort of played around with the spelling(its actually Pyrrhos not Pyrrohs... the spelling just makes more sense like that to me).
I like these names:

AETON: Greek myth name of one Pluto's horses, usually rendered "swift as an eagle."
ARVAK and ALSVID
: ("early riser" or "early splendid") and ("all-swift" or "all-scorching"). In Norse mythology, these were the names of two horses who pulled the sun goddess Sunna's chariot. It was said that the sunlight came from their manes, while the sun, itself, only gave off heat. They are also called by the Icelandic names Arvakur and Alsvidur.
BALIOS
(Βάλιος): Greek name meaning "dappled, piebald." In mythology, this is the name of one of two immortal horses (the other named Xanthos) who drew the chariot of Achilles during the Trojan war. They were the offspring of the harpy Podarge and the west wind Zephyros.
PHAETON
: Greek name meaning "the shining one." In mythology, this is the name of one of the steeds of Aurora. The other is Abrax.
AITHON (1): One of the fire-breathing steeds of Ares.
LAMPOS: One of the two immortal steeds of the dawn-goddess Eos.
STEROPE: One of the four immortal horses of the sun-god Helios.

I personally like these names because of the history.
:)
good luck finding the perfect show name!

how bowt "Golden Perfection" seeing as your extrainer gave up on him (talk about no commitment pfft) and he has turned out so nicely.
or "(insert your name here)'s Golden Apprentice" I know you said you would like to have a one word name, but thats hard in my opinion lol and the second name would make people look.

I trained a mare once that everyone else gave up on. In the end, I named her Nothing Else Matters. (We never showed and she wasn't mine but that was what I called her in case I did show).

Not gunna lie, one of my favorite names ever is Applause Please. I always just thought it was adorable.

How about "Armament"? He looks like a type of horse that a knight would have ridden into battle.

Tequila Sunrise? I like code red, I have one other, but I bet you would snatch it and I'm saving it for my big red horse, if ever.
