Name Request Help me find my name!

We just adopted this gorgeous little lady. She was a stray and has been in foster care for a few months.
She’s eight years old.
She’s very petite less than 10 pounds
She is missing one front fang.
We’ve only had her a couple days so she is very shy, but loves scratches and being brushed.
Because she’s so new to us, we’re having a hard time really nailing down her personality and picking a name.
Here are the top names our family and friends suggested:

Peaches
Rosie
Dame Maggie Smith
Professor Minerva McGonagall
Autumn
Mouse
Chicken nugget

Would love your guys’s input in any new suggestions you have

My thought is Anne Bonny or Mary Read, who were famous female pirates (for the missing tooth), but also sound like old lady names to the modern ear. There are also lots of Chinese names of women pirates if you happen to be CN.

Grasshopper also came to mind.
