I do a lot of research on human pedigrees (medieval noble families) as well as horses and I find that the names women had in those days were much different from those in use today. Some would make nice horse names, like:
Helisende and its cognates Alissante and Alixante
Achillande
Aminiane
Faquilene
Audearde
female versions of Guy - Guyotte, Guiote, Guyonne, Guigonne
Gaucienne
Faydide
Senegonde
Jaucerande, also spelled Josserande
These are all French forms, so the final 'e' is silent in each.
