She needs a name

I've been thinking of a name for my new Cooper. A co-worker suggested the name April since I bought her in April and my birthday is this month. Do any of you have any suggestions? She's an 03 in Indie Blue, loaded with leather, sunroof, cruise, pw, pb, ps, xenon headlights, etc.

So let's hear some good female names for her! Thanks!

I just learned the name of mine! But some of the ones I thought of for girls were:

Mariah (like in the Gregory Peck movie & the old song "They call the wind Mariah)
Mitzi
Zsazsa (like ZsaZsa Gabor)

I don't like the name April. If you want spring related, call her Haruko, meaning "spring child" in Japanese.
Others...

Ayaka
Yoriko
Aki
Miyuki
Natsumi
Kanako
Shiori
Mei
Chiaki

These would all make good names.

Can you show us a pic. I'd really like to see her before I make a suggestion.

April blue showers bring May flowers like a blue Iris.

She's a beaut!! Do you have a favorite movie or thing that you like to do? That's one way of triggering a great name! For my dogs I name after towns. My english bulldog is "Bailey," my yorkie is "Frogknot" and my hedgehog's name is "chugwater." There are some great town names out there like popcorn, noodle and things like that! Just do a search and you'll be amazed at what you find!

Oh, and my other car is a harley too! I have a Heritage Soft Tail Classic. His name is The White Pearl.

I can't wait to hear what you name your new baby! Congratulations on getting it!

I've never heard of that anime before, but I'm always looking for more material to practice Japanese listening with.

I know this may be seen as a bit pedestrian, but why not "Nubs"?

Transforms to "Nubbie" in the diminutive and "Nubbins" when she is really good.
