Default New quilt - help me name it

I made this quilt just for the fun of it. I wanted to use up some scraps and challenged myself to make this without buying any fabric (I did end up buying one FQ of green). I really wanted to experiment with tints, tones and shades. It should look like a wash of light shining on the quilt. I designed and pieced it. Claudia Reeves did the quilting for me. I tried to get some good close ups to show her quilting off.

The question is, what to name the quilt. Right now I am calling it my rainbow quilt, but I think there is a better name. Here is another question, is it too girly for a 9 year old boy, I know it depends on the boy, he is very artistic and knows about the color wheel etc. There are no flowers, butterflies, hearts or fairies on the fabrics. I am contemplating giving it to my grand son. I might just ask him! I like to give surprise gifts, but I also like my gifts to be appreciated
