Not that anyone cares, but I finally took a photo as I finally had a chance to ride and I hope I will be doing that more often, but life is way complicated.
And I think I'm decided on Twacky (my grandmother's cat's name from my childhood) or Vidalia which is a type of onion and Ogres are like Onions according to Shrek.

I own a cow named Vidalia. It's a good name, she's a good cow, and in my opinion your bike bears a passing resemblance to my cow.
She has grown up and doesn't look much like that now, but it's the picture I have handy. That's her licking off her first calf.
I was going to suggest Olga Korbut: feminine and graceful, but has all the sounds of "ogre" in the name.
Edit to add: I'm scrolling while milking cows, and Vidalia just came in. Here's a not very good, but current, picture of her face:

Cool bike, definitely a very practical rig.
Glad you finally settled on a name though I personally have never really understood the desire to do so, so none of my bikes or cars have ever been name. Somebody early on mentioned that only calling bikes by what they are (eg Surly Ogre) is like calling a dog "dog" and I have to admit, I do that all the time. The cat who lived on my property for many years was just cat. She had a name but since she didn't have a collar and technically belonged to the neighbors (who we didn't like), none of us knew the actual name, so I just called her cat. I'll do the same with my partner's dog a good chunk of the time despite knowing the name.

Never give a name to anything that might be sold or eaten.
That being said, Betty is a nice name.

Penelope because --
*Penelope is a timeless name that's literary, romantic, and unarguably adorable.*
p.s. - My Day6 Semi Recumbent is named Fireball because on the first after midnight nighttime ride on it I saw a FIREBALL. I reported the sighting as did 14 other people in Fl and Ga.

Growing up on a farm, my dad said that my siblings and I wouldn't know what to do with meat that we didn't know the name of. He was 95% correct. You can definitely get used to eating named meat.
