After much internal debate, I decided to go with Cheyenne.

"Meeteetse" is a wonderfully meaningly name, the place were BFFs were
rediscovered after being thought extinct, but you must admit it's a
little hard to spell and pronounce!

"Shirley" is a nice old-fashioned girl's name, but it makes me think
of this: http://youtu.be/0A5t5_O8hdA :-)

"Rosebud" makes me think of Orson Welle's and Citizen Kane!

But "Cheyenne" conjures up images of the old west and wide open
prairies, the homeland of the black-footed ferrets. And besides,
the little girl is described as shy!

Pick your favorite, but just remember to vote!
