Please help me decide on a name for my new wheel! The winner gets a 4 oz. bump of my new Serenity Roving in a surprise colourway. This fibre is made up of 80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon. It's technically a sliver prep which is just a slightly thinner version of roving. It's what you see on my wheel currently and I am really enjoying it. Nothing like starting out on a new wheel with a luxury fibre! Yum.
The time change has meant spinning at midnight. I'm so not a morning person so with springing forward, gosh, I have more energy in the evenings so I've been spinning. Not a bad trade-off for having a heckuva time getting motivated in the mornings. Do you spin in the evenings too?
As for her name, I don't know what to call her. I decided she's a "she" because the wheel is so darn cute. To help with naming her, her big sister is Julia and she's definitely Julia's little sister so what do you think? Leave your suggestion in the comments and I'll decide on Monday.
All comments should be made before Sunday, March 15, 2009 at midnight EST. One entry per comment please.
Thanks for playing along! I love to hear other's suggestions - hoping one of them will stand out and fit. Suggest away and happy spinning!
UPDATE: 3/17/09 - Comments are now closed and thank you to everyone who entered! This is not going to be easy - I have a couple of names that I really like so I'll let it sit for a day or two more before I decide. Stay tuned!
How bout Abigail.

I think she looks like a Ginny!~ (pronounced "Jinnie"...I have a piano-tuning friend who goes by that name, and the designs on this wheel remind me of her. :) )

I like another J name to go with it, so how about Jaqui (pronounced Jackie)

Kell as in the Book of Kells. I keep looking at the designs and they remind me of the Book of Kells. I love Celtic knots and even have them as tattooed on my body. So my vote is for Kell.
And I can't wait to try the new rovings.

I would likre to suggest Dierdre given the beautiful design.

I am thinking of
Lucinda
Pronounced: \l(u)-sin-da
Meaning: http://www.meaning-of-names.com/italian-names/lucinda.asp
It stands mostly for Bringer of Light

I'm definately thinking that she's a Catherine. Or maybe a Katherine? For some reason, she reminds me of Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII first wife, who he was married to four about 20 years before he tried to get a divorce. Maybe I just have historical intrigue on the brain. Good luck finding a name!

Siobhan....also a Celtic name to go with the beautiful patterns on her.
Posted by: Sandy | Thursday, 12 March 2009 at 08:23 PM
I agree that it should be celtic...how about McKenna?

From a distance she looks all lacy like, so I think Lacy/Lacey is a good name. :)

Jenny! Julia's little sister - Jenny! She's perky looking like a Jenny! I've not seen one like her - I don't know what kind she is. But she REALLY is cute and looks like she was made the get the job done!

How about Kenzie? I think it has a bit of a playful ring to it, but still a pretty name. :)
It's harder than I thought to pick a name!

She's a hitchhiker from Merlin Tree and a friend of mine customized her. See my blog post for details: http://zenyarngarden.typepad.com/roxanne/2009/03/a-new-addition.html

Hmm, what about Ella? Or even Bella? Or Cecilia (I'm not sure where that one came from but figured I'd throw it out there and see if any of them stick)? Good luck choosing a name. =)

Little she may be, but that doesn't mean weak. I think she should be called Minerva - after the roman goddess (Athena is her counterpart) Minerva is the goddess of crafting and because she the little sister, her nickname can be Minnie (Mini, Minne)

My suggestion is Jean. It comes from the Hebrew name of Yochana, tranlsted to latin as Joanna or Johanna.
It's a very beautiful wheel. Have fun with it!

If the big sister is Julia, maybe the little sister could be Juliette? (Pronounced with a French accent.)
Posted by: natalie | Friday, 13 March 2009 at 06:54 AM
She looks like a Josephine to me, or perhaps Josie for short! I have no brilliant reason other than I absolutely can't get that name out of my head from the first moment I saw her.
