Not aware of anything. I always choose some element of the quilt to name it. It may be something to do with the fabric, the block, the pattern name, the quilting design or the giftee. For example the quilt I made for my brother was based on his tattoos so I named it Dan's Tats.
Another example, I made a pattern that was called "star dancer". My focus fabric had cats on it so I named it "kitties dancing with the stars".
Another, I made a pieced cat quilt using all homespuns so I called it "homespun housecats"
My current WIP is another cat pattern done in all batiks. Most batiks are made in Bali so I am calling it "bali cats", a play on alley cats.
Naming is fun and easy. Just pick something about the quilt that inspired you like the color, the block, a quilting motif or if it is a gift for someone and have fun with the name. There are no rules and no limits except your own imagination.
