I've seen this question asked before, so I'll give you the same answer that I did the last time. I don't care at all that there's already a popular Bojack. If you feel that the name suits your character, use it if you want to. He doesn't have to get teased for it because he's fictional, and he could live in an environment where no one thinks that the Horseman similarity or possible "BJ" nickname is funny. I wouldn't worry about that if I were you, because you're the author. I think most people just call the deed by its full name, not the abbreviation "BJ", but it might just be my location.
Either way, the Horseman association will never decrease unless there's another popular character with a similar name. So if your Beau-Jack becomes something of an icon, then no one will think of Bojack every time they hear about him. His chance in the spotlight will be shared with the Horseman, but it won't be so overbearing that your character is overshadowed. Do what you want to do, it's your story.
I personally think that the names sounds country, cute and southern.
