Need a name for a new handgun
Today a Kel-Tec PF-9 followed me home to be my backup/deep concealment/jogging gun.
My wife who is not a gun person, has asked me to name all of my firearms so that she might be able to identify them better (it has worked thus far).
Rules: it must be the name of a man in pop culture (music, film, literature..... preferably not too obscure) who uses a woman's name.
Examples: Loretta; Monty Python's Life of Brian (my 1911's name)
Betty; Kung-Pow, Enter the Fist (name of my Glock 23)
Sue; Boy Named Sue (name of my Taurus .357 magnum)
Alice; Alice Cooper (her future 1911)
These names and Marylin are taken or reserved. Ideas?

Marion Morrison - John Wayne
Marion is a more gender neutral name. I'm trying to avoid those. Lesley and Dale won't work either.
Marylin Manson - Rock/pop singer
Reserved for a future revolver
Boy George, In the old days he looked like a female Believe he group was Culture Club
George is a boy's name; won't work.
Tim is also a boy's name; sexuality is irrelevant to this criteria.

I vote for Lola
Anyone else remember the Kinks?
I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [lp version:
Coca-cola]
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well Im not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well Im not dumb but I cant understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

how about from "gone with the wind" .....scarlet.
A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it.

If it's for her, try this.
Call it "Secret", it's strong enough for a man, but made for a woman

Sorry, but I'd scrap this particular naming scheme, pronto. This particular scheme (a woman's name used by a man) seems like a deliberate ploy to limit the number of firearms you can purchase.
Devious. Very devious.

I agree though, this is a ploy to limit you!

Beat me to it! Jackie definitely fits the PF9 as stated by rhinokrk. Small and slim but packs a big punch is right on!

Trust me, this is not a limiting factor on my purchases. Gun comes first then name. If I should wind up running out of names, I'll change the criteria or go without.
Lola is a great suggestion, but for some reason seems more appropriate for a large revolver.
Also recommended by my facebook friends: Jayne from the series Firefly.

How about a woman who uses a man's name, in pop culture?
The anorexic and svelte "James" (as in, runway model James King, or "Jamie") might do, for the PF9.
You know, as in pullin' out "Jimmy" when the time is right.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.

disarming victims
