We are thinking to name our queen. We have a couple ideas but aren't settled on one yet. Anyone have any suggestions?

I entered a pie baking contest at the Wood Festival today. I made a Paw Paw with Black Walnut Streusel. It's the most West Virginian pie I could possibly think of. Both the main ingredients grow nativity on our property. I am so thrilled to have won 2 first place ribbons!!! How exciting!!!
