    Shirl's Sunrise
    Shirl's Sonnett
    Shirl's Solace
    Spirit of Shirl
    Shirl's Sun God

          I was looking for something that rolls off the tongue and interlocking the words in the name with the first letter of the first word seems to work.:scratch::dunno::snork:

              Hi Kyle, calling it Iron Pyrites doesn't exactly roll off the tongue!!! Maybe I'm the fool for trying to find a name for it:snork:

                It's either "Shirl's Sun rise" or "Spirit of Shirl's"....it could never be "Shirley" as she hated being called that, Joolz!!:snork:
