Well, I think a name has been determined ....
When I posed the question of a name to the guy who recommended me to this LBS, he instantly replied, "Freedom." I said, "I used to ride a horse named Freedom."
There you go. Freedom II. And so it shall be named!
After all, I am getting this bike just as my two DD's have entered Junior and Senior year in high school, I've been gaining personal freedom at a record pace recently and will continue to do so as they leave the nest. Which is one of the reasons I'm getting so into biking now -- I'll need something to occupy my time when they leave me!
Freedom it is!
Countdown: 4 hours and 42 minutes to the adoption!

An excellent name.
My first road bike is yet to be named. 
I am a bad bike mommy. I just cannot think of a name.

Jennifer--Make a new thread like Quint41 did and let us help you choose a name. That's what I'm going to do when I get my Bianchi. Include a photo along with your bike's turn-ons and turn-offs, so we can get to know her a little.

I think Jennifer's bike might be a he.
She always calls it her "man bike".

Could just be an androgynous byke... like 'Desire' from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series...
I always picture european bikes (esp. the older ones) as being these pretty/handsome androgynous figures who would love nothing more than to sweep you away with their own certain elegant style and finesse...
...then there's my friend's beatup, sticker-covered fixie Iron Horse, named "Joe" who would be just as happy parked next to your couch while you eat cheetos and watch Austin Powers...
