Just in case Rob has any blog stalkers six months post facto, this is my favorite blog on the proper naming of bicycles.

I think you picked a good name. I like it!

Because of Kellen’s comment… “References to obscure literary figures gets bonus points as does nostalgic childhood memories,” my choice would have been “Yoda.”

Fine. If you’re not going to post pictures, I’ll have to name it sight unseen. My choice is The Solar Speeder.

I kind of like the “princess” that has already been suggested, but you could also call it “Buddy”. That has a nice ring to it.

By the way, I bet you won’t last more than a month without posting spandex pictures! Ha ha..

Francie (short for Francis) meaning “from France” of “free one”. You love le Tour. ‘Nough said.

How about: 痛苦美好

I did a little search for you. Here are a few Chinese possibilities: Jingjing (means Perfect Essence), Ting (Slim, Graceful), Meiling (Beautiful and Delicate), or Mu (Admired). All of these have fitting meanings for a favored bike, however Mu – assuming it’s pronounced “moo” – sounds like it means cow which may not give the desired effect. I still like Maggie, though…and so does Kellen. :)

“I think Missy is right on the mark.” Let me just revel in the glory for a minute (or a week). Thanks Kellen!
