NAME THAT SPINNING WHEEL!
My spinning wheel is a Kromski Symphony.
Send suggestions to ThePurloinedLetter1 AT yahoo DOT com, or leave them in the comments.
There will be a little prize for the winner suitable for spinners, knitters, or weavers. The deadline is midnight on Sunday, August 13th.
After the contest, I'll post a few of my favorite suggestions!

I would name the wheel 'Mozart'! Lovely and delicate, just like his music.
Nice! I'm thinking Fitzwilliam in a non-sequitor kind of way.
I think you should name her "Lenore"
I say be different. Nonsensical. Goofy. Something that makes you smile a bit every time you sit down to spin, even when your spinning is doing the opposite of what you want it to do.
Earl. I vote for Earl.
For some reason the name Simone keeps coming up for me when I see your wheel - Simone the Symphony.... Since you asked :-)
Have fun!
Abi
Bob.
Wheel Bob Kromski.
always go with the Bob!
Hi
Nice wheel. I think my next wheel will be this same one! I have a Louet now.
EWESOSPINFUL came to mind for a good name!
Have fun at any rate spinning on this pretty baby!

Let me chime in with the Disney choice -- How about Aurora?
Keelan?
Kieran?
Seamus?
Siobhan?
WhirledGirl?
Krommy?
BlondBob?
BlondSin?
Nymph?
My suggestion is "Frederic" after Frederic Chopin, one of my favorite composers and one of the most well-known from Poland.
I like Anka or Anechka, Polish for Anna, meaning "grace".
She's Polish, and she looks very graceful.
Gotta go with Beethoven!
Annabelle Lee. Fo sho. :)
OK, so we've covered the Disney angle (I would go with Malificent, but that's my thing), the composer angle (Boccharini, anyone?), the nationality angle (Ziven is Polish, and means "vigorous") and even the totally random angle (Potato the Spinning Wheel).
Oh, and also the Poe angle.
I personally prefer the meaningful name angle, so my choice is Zihna, which is Native American and means "spins."
A charming wheel indeed.
Mathilde (Matilda) so that when you spin, you can be "waltzing Matilda".
Or Polish Saints' names:
Agata (Agatha)
Agnieszka (Agnes)
Apolonia (Pauline)
Anastazia, Anastazja (Anastasia)
Bronislawa (Bronislava, Bernice, Bertha)
Florentyna (Flora, Florence)
Kunegunda (Cunegunda) Kinga for short (love this, my stepdaughter's middle name, from medieval Queen Cunegonde)
Urzula (Ursula)
Could go on and on!
The minute I looked at it I saw "Jesse" < don't know why.....Ginny
I'm dating myself in this, but Polish anything to me brings to mind Bobby Vinton. So, definitely Bobby. (sings) "My Melodeeeee of Luuuuuv...!"
Zelda.
Or Maxine.
Or Sarah.
The first thing that came to mind was Stanley. Maybe I was thinking Kowalski, not Kromski.
It definitely needs something old-fashioned. Shirley? Gladys? Eunice?
Ooh, I know! Alma.
I forgot the obvious counterpart to Stanley - Stella. Of course, now I will have Ned Flanders' voice screaming "Stella!" in my head for hours.
I really like the traditional Polish names for this one. I'm getting stuck on the question of male or female. I do like female names which end with a- like Roza or Zofia.
Well, I really liked Matilda, and Adagio, and several others, but I'll take a stab at giving you still more options...
How about Simfonia Kromska, or Simka for short?
Or my favorite random, which I have yet to talk anyone into using: Spackel.
Or Dotty.
Or Sally Symphony (going the alliteration route).
Or Cupcake. (which sounds good with 'Kromski')
I don't know why I'm convinced she's a girl, but I am.
Hi we are almost neighbors I'm in Bowie.
I like TILLI.
Rest TILLI come back to spin again.
Something about the rhythm of a wheel going around makes me think of the persistence of Baroque music... Vivaldi?
It is a pretty wheel. I would call it "Spinderella"
i say Moirae, after the greek goddesses who spun the threads of fate.
I think she looks like a Tamerlane :-)
I thought of another great name....Virginia!
