Introducing...

The new man in my life.

Thank you all so much for all your fantastic suggestions. You all got very creative in your responses! I chuckled a bit, because some of the names you suggested are actually names of men I have a history with (but I won't tell you which names!). GeorgiaSnail's suggestion of "Does "Fu@k, that bike is hot!" work for a name? That's what everyone will be saying...." probably made me laugh the most.

I had a hard time deciding on a name, so I took him out for a ride today to think about it. As I was riding, I made my decision. And the winner is....

Kane.

(pronounced kah-nay)

It's the perfect name. It has the Hawaiian mythology component (leader of the four main Hawaiian gods), but it also is the Hawaiian name for "Man", so it has a bit of an ironic twist.
You know, like "I'm going for a long one on MAN"...or, "MAN has been locked up in the house all day, better take care of him and give him a good ride".... And, I can wake up every morning with a man next to me! (Okay, enough with the innuendos, I promise)

I think the name is strong yet gentle. In the Hawaiian language, it refers not only to man but also means "strong sea" which again lies with the triathlon theme.


So, three people actually suggested the name. (Thanks alot, guys, now I have to come up with THREE goodie bags! Sheesh...)
