Thank you for all the kind replies. After getting him interested in the 'ball' game every other email I'm asked about 'our' collection lol. I'd already told him how happy I am with her, I told him he can buy me more!

As for names...I like the odd ones so I'm leaning towards 'Gotico', 'Kynthia', 'Lamya', 'Liana', or 'Mokomis'... pretty much all have 'dark' translations (color dark not gothic dark except for Gotico which is Gothic in Italian).
