My dress form shall not remain nameless!

I know a lot of ladies name their dress forms, and I think this is a really cool custom. I've had my dressform for over a year now. She's old and a little battered, her shoulder wingnut is stripped, but overall in amazing shape for being 60 years old! I have an affinity for old things and antiques, as part of what I enjoy about sewing is the nostalgia of it (from my grandmother sewing).
So my dressform, she's my sewing buddy, and I would not trade her in for a new one. I would, however, like to give her a name!


So I've had a few running around in my head, and wanted to see what you ladies thought of them, or if you had any suggestions!
The ones that I've considered are Guinevere (or Gwen, for short), because I'm just into that whole renaissance romance thing.
I've also considered Ella, erm, can you guess why?  lol
Lastly I thought maybe Margaret, or Greta for short, for my German heritage.

What do you think?  Any other suggestions?
