Name this Angel Trumpet and win it!

Here's a beautiful new Angel Trumpet I would like to register, but first it needs a name. 
namethisbrug.jpgThis seedling is from a cross made by nature, most likely by honey bees or moths. The pod parent is Brugmansia Orange Zest.  This seedling first started blooming in 2009 and really put on quite a show.  Although it was growing in a gallon size pot, it had rooted itself in the ground and the plant became quite large.  Before the freeze knocked it down to the ground, it was about 6-7 feet tall and equally as wide, with at least 100 blooms on it.  It bounced back the following spring and I decided to put it in my watch zone.
namethisbrug-2.jpgA year later after watching it produce flush after flush of blooms in the heat of summer, I decided this seedling is a keeper and worthy of registering and naming.  I would like to enlist the help of our membership in coming up with an appropriate name for this beauty.  From now through the end of September post your name suggestion here. If your cultivar name is selected, you'll win a clone of this plant.

The rules are simple, just come up with a winning name for this seedling.  Before posting your names makes sure it is not already in use by checking our cultivar nameslist.  On October 1 the winning name will be selected, the cultivar registration submitted, and the winner announced in this thread.  If the winner is one of our international members where plants cannot be shipped from the U.S., another prize may be substituted.

Let the fun begin, post your name suggestions now!
