The Naming of She-Blob, Part 1 of Several

Now that Blob has graduated to She-Blob we can begin the process of picking names. That, coupled with the fact that within a few weeks She-Blob will, ostensibly, form working ears and be able to hear things adds a bit of urgency to the endeavor.

Since Bree and I have somewhat unusual names (granted, I'm the equivalent of "Jennifer" or "Mary" in Russia, but hey, we emigrated), we have always been open to names of the more exotic persuasion. By "exotic" I mean "unusual," and not "fit for a stripper."

We've tried to rise to the occasion ourselves, and have come up with didly. We've reached out to family for suggestions.

Between my mom: "Why don't you combine my and Bree's mom's names?"
Me: "Would that be Christena or Irenistie?"

and Bree's dad - LeCher, LeStar and Lila LaRue are all exotic in the "fit for a stripper" way - we're back to didly.

Somewhere along the way, we had the plan of giving She-Blob the initials B. L. O. B., and what began as a joke has had a strangely pervasive quality. Sadly, "B" names are somewhat lacking, unless we name her Bree after her daddy, something he firmly opposes. So, any suggestions? Should we run a contest?
