that's the same colour my bike will end up with. I used Chevrolet Orange Engine Enamel from Duplicolour. That ****e takes like 5 days to cure! And I still have to do the clearcoat. Or should I forgo that? Cuz that'll mean another 5 days before I can build it back up!
As for names...
1. L'Orange
2. Tang
3. Phunby

I love the orange. I think you should name it Nancy or Barb, which you could stencil on in navy script, with a heart on one side...if only to make people scratch their heads.
And progre-ss: don't skip the clear coat!!

Looking at it again - whatever you name it, get rid of those cable routers. They look like they could cause pain, and it doesn't really look like you're using them anyways...

Chuck Yeager's X-1 Bell airplane (the first to break the sound barrier) was very close in color to the bike. The X-1 had 'Glamorous Glennis' painted on the side:

How about "Oranjeboom" after the beer from the Netherlands...I don't know if it's still in production...I kinda think their barley fields got hit with the Chernobyl cloud. You could print this image and use it as your headbadge.

nameing a bike is serious business. Its something that should not be taken lightly... i think the best thing here is to pack up the bike and send it to ME... then I will ride it around for a while, figure out what the best name would be, then maybe send it back to you.... you can totally trust me!
its a nice looking bike, even though I have NOCOINS on the side of my fixie, I dont think you should do anything to this bike, its simple and beautiful.... dont even wrap the bars.
....meh, **** it, name is Kevin! (thats me!)

Just thought of another one...
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
And then when they ask you why, you break into the knock knock joke that goes something like this (prolly doesn't need explaining but hey, I'll explain anyways)...
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Banana.
Banana who?
...and then you start again at...
Knock knock...
go on until you you see fit and then end with...
knock knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
