Time for Name the Cat Two!

The girls and I got another cat from the pet store. It needs a name. Lilly has the final say due to reasons of kid-diplomacy, but please vote for or suggest a name!
Pardon the crude form. I'll post a pic of the cat after my camera battery recharges.
The cat is really a kitten. She's very small, but extremely feisty. I put my fingers through her cage and she immediately started wrestling with them playfully. She lost interest in that when a bunny cage was placed next to hers, and she literally started trying to fight the bunny through the wire of both cages, hers and Mr. Trix's.
Since being home, the kitten has confounded both of the other cats - who each out-size her by about four to one - by attacking them. She arches her back and does "I'm taller and scary" at them and hisses viciously. Then jumps at them, all claws and teeth.
They seem confused - "Hey, is that puff of fur hissing at us?" - but for the first night they actually seem to be doing her bidding. Not sure if it was the female "I'm the Queen, Dammit!" thing going on or what.
After a day, I think the older cats are finally getting sick of her attitude.
Last last night The Casey finally got the balls together to chase after her, and she ran like hell. But until she's finally had the smack put down on her once and for all - 8x-the-cat style - she's going to run the joint, despite her stature. It's hilarious.
She's also very sweet. She goes to sleep in the girls' laps and curled up with me to sleep on my neck while I was on the phone last night.
If you have cat name ideas with no outlet, Suggest Them!

Michelle has a Friskies cat food box on wheels. It's basically a rubber-made type box with a locking lid and casters for easy rolling. We brought it over from her old place and cleaned it out this week. After it had been on the balcony drying, I brought it into the house.
My cat, The Casey, wanted to investigate. He started sniffing the box as soon as it was inside. He even tried to jump it, but it started to tip over, so he backed off. Ever the helpful pet owner, I picked him up and put him in. I even petted him a few times so he would get comfortable. He seemed happy.
I was happy because the instant he got comfortable, I started wheeling him all over the apartment, making car noises.
Now the cats won't go near the box.
