The nickname for my very slow build RV7 is "Sweetie", which brings to mind a couple nice sounding "monikers"
"Sweet Freedom"
"Sweet RV"

Sweetie ryhmes with tweety.
The prototype was painted yellow.
It flies like a bird.
So it must be called Tweety Bird!
(But I still like Kent's Aurora proposal. It is legitimate as both the home town of the company and many of the name's meanings have a poetic relevance:
Aurora \Au*ro"ra\, n.; pl. E. Auroras, L. (rarely used) Auror[ae]. [L. aurora, for ausosa, akin to Gr. ?, ?, dawn, Skr. ushas, and E. east.]
1. The rising light of the morning; the dawn of day; the redness of the sky just before the sun rises.
2. The rise, dawn, or beginning. --Hawthorne.
3. (Class. Myth.) The Roman personification of the dawn of day; the goddess of the morning. The poets represented her a rising out of the ocean, in a chariot, with rosy fingers dropping gentle dew.

One of the reasons that I put Aurora in my list...

This is why 30 years ago I named my first daughter Aurora.
