Name and upgrade build

Caught the Bug
So, I purchased my '07 jk Sahara, used, stock (ended up being a buddies wifes old dd)(what a coincidence)
While setting in the dealership, I was already ordering parts:
3" BDS short arm lift
34" Nitto Trail Grapplers
18" KMC Rockstar Wheels (truly a newb thing to do)
Aries full steel front bumper
9500 Bulldog winch
Warn Elite rear bumper with tire carrier
WoLo Bad boy horn
JK Ultimate Sway Bar
JK Front lower control arms
BDS shocks
So, currently, I'm setting like this.

Over time I did add the Screaming Demon coil and wires.
And, now it's time for an upgrade

Upgrade is going to include:

Yukon 5.13 ring & pinions w/ master rebuild kits
ARB Lockers (front & rear) 5.13 ratio
ARB differential covers (red)
ARB HO Compressor
Russell braided stainless steel air lines
Fox 2.o shocks w/blue boots
Banks Monster Exhaust system
Banks air ram intake
Alloy Grande Axle Tube Seals (red)
EVO air compressor mount
Hi-Lift sport cage jack mount
River Raider Weld In Sport Cage ( canary yellow pc, most likely )
Superchips TD2 w/ 4 relays
Aries 15600tw recovery Hooks
Rugged Ridge Eclipse Sun shade
35" Nitto Trail Grapplers
Custom axle & c gussets
Cutting Fenders
Body Armor Rock Sliders (going to weld on)
Daystar TD2 dash holder
Adding an air chuck in the grill to take advantage of compressors air abilities.

Showing my newb in this, I have, apparently, mistreated my jeep by not giving it the courtesy of a name. Truly, my bad. In the effort to alleviate my oversight and make reparations to my jeep I have come up with 4, I believe, are worthy names and would like forum input to help this wonderful machine to become worthy. And, as a final add to this build, I will have it named. Current name options are:

Phantom
Rrangdar
Drachyn
Wraith
MaBitch ( takes all my money, but fun to ride )

I am not mechanically inclined, per se, and work lots of hours, so work will be by others. However, I will stop by daily to learn what I can and ask tons of questions. Over time will become, hopefully, self sufficient and mechanically adept.
Will update with pics as I can.
I hope this turns out as good as I envision. Also open to all criticisms on things that I may do differently, or as a add later on.
Thank you, in advance, for reading and advice.

The name Rrangdar came from my nephew. When he was a little boy, maybe 5 or so, we played an online game together called EQ2, the first character of mine was named Rrangdar and he said it would be really cool to bring a piece of something we did together as he was growing up into this world as something that we enjoy doing together now. (Truly, how do you argue with a logic like that) Also, Rrangdar was a bit flamboyant in his own right so it is only befitting to bring some of that trait along as well. Red, yellow, black & blue should do nicely on that front. Lol at least I hope so.
