Help me name my Seven!

[melissad]

I finally got the courage to put my Speedplay pedals on my bike after 2 years of riding with pancake pedals and hiding my head in shame. Now that I feel more legit, I'd like to name my bike.

The story behind the bike: My husband has been interested in cycling for years and I always wanted to join him but never really had the right motivation. That is until I walked into my LBS and saw this little lady up for sale and it was just my color The LBS owner bought it for his wife as a present after she survived breast cancer and the loss of their house in one of the major Southern California fires (thus the flames in the paint job). She rode is once and then it sat in their garage until she wanted to sell it to buy a horse. Luckily for me, it fit like a glove!

I'm still quite the novice rider, but my husband and I love to ride together on the weekends. We still are only going on 13 mile rides but we hope to really up the miles this year now that I've finally put the pedals on.

I would love to name her...she did help me lose 20 pounds but I'm just not that creative.

Any help would be appreciated!

Oh, how pretty! She looks like cotton candy.

I'm drooling....that is one beautiful bike.

How about Rosa (italian for pink)?

I'm Italian myself so I think that way, what can I say?

Ciao

I'm useless with names and normally I don't like pink, but I love the deep pink into pastel flames. That is one mean grrrrrl bike....somehow I think that bike's name has got to be the same...tough, yet feminine.

That is a really nice bike! Hope you and she can build up even more miles.

Thanks for the responses everyone! Great ideas!

For some reason I have Lola or Chloe in my head but there's no rhyme or reason for that name.

I was also thinking about Eileen, only so I could sing "Come on, Eileen" to her as I climb the hill

Carmine.....magenta.....permanent rose......scarlet.....opera....just thinking as I look at my watercolor paint selection.
