Name for my new crystal? What do you name your favorites?

I'm not in the habit of naming my stones, but the name "Lode" (as in lodestone) just seemed to sort of pop out for a smokey sphere that I bought recently. I like the name because there is also the double meaning ("load").

I have a clear sphere that I received as a gift from a friend- the friend's nick name is Saruman, so the sphere sometimes gets called "The Palantir" but it really doesn't have a proper name. This is far and away my favorite sphere, and it never fails to give me visions.

Another clear sphere, my largest sphere is like ice.... Maybe "Issa"? Not quite sure if that name will stick.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I referred to her as Athena the other day, so I think that name as stuck! I'm going to name my smaller quartz point Freya, and keep Farida in mind for whatever stone I get next. I'd like to add a sphere to my collection soon so I'll keep an eye out for a Farida
