My Commuter Needs a Name

My commuter needs a name. My daughter wants to name it "Olaf" but I think it is a "she". She's been my companion now since August. Any suggestions?

With all those reflectors on the spokes I'd call her "Sparkle"!

You could call her Olive.
And give her a paint job. Or not.
I've heard of blue olives...

Another friend has suggested "Gypsy". Leaning towards that. Although I do like Sparkle. Or maybe Sparklin' Sally.

Oh, I think she/he looks like an Olaf! Very Swedish colours. Olava (Ou-LAV-ah) is a feminine version, if you like.

There's a Norwegian singer called Ingrid Olava:
