Aurelia (aurum is latin for gold)
Marigold
Aurora (again a play on aurum)
Xanthe (goddess of autumn, personified and associated with the golden yellow foliage of fall)

I didn't say it, but Marge was the first thing that came into my head. It was so bad I didn't say it.

I named my silkie Greta, which means "pearl". Margareta is the long form of that name, and I think it pairs nicely with Barbarossa.

I do think the Marigold/Marge/Margareta sounds great with the Barbarossa. Marge for short, one of the others for when it's more serious. I agree that Margareta seems to fit the naming scheme we have around here. Marge/Margareta... We will try it and see how it goes.

Thanks, folks!

Okay, husband's opinion is that Marge/Margareta is a good name for a Mercury, "Margareta the Mercury Grand Marquise".
In the end it's my car, but I know he's going to put a stink up about it. Which is fine, because if he likes it too, he'll call her by it, which is entertaining to me.
He didn't favor my suggestion of Loraine, too old of a name. He briefly suggested Loretta but still was not convinced.
His suggestion, something that sounds good with an L, a T, or a C, and not French because she's not a Cadillac.

I know it was panned at the time, but the Edsel is such an awesome shape.
