Same for me. I am thinking the most unusual name for a quilt was "Dan's Tats" because the quilt was based on the tattoos of Dan. "Go Fish" was another one. The quilt was made for my brother, had a fish theme and I recall us spending hours as children playing the card game "Go Fish".
Sometime the fabric plays a role in naming, sometimes the pattern sometimes both.
Not all my quilts get unique names. Usually if they are being gifted or shown they get named and that gets put on the label. I have had some very uninspired names like "Batik Block swap" or just used the pattern name.
The spiderweb I am working on now is named "African Queen" because the fabrics are mostly African themed and the quilt is queen size.
