Naming problem

Hi all,
I've just designed a new pair of crochet fingerless gloves that I want to publish in a few weeks. The photo shows the first prototype that will be slightly adapted but not changed as to its looks.
However, I cannot think of a catchy name for the pattern. So I thought I'd ask here if somebody has better ideas than I have.
Thanks in advance.

I don't really like fingerless gloves, and I don't care what you call them, I just want you to do a knitting pattern for them, because they are the neatest things I've ever seen. Totally want a pair. Please, Please, Please.
Well, I'll be doing a crochet pattern for them :)
However, there is a knitted version already available: http://knitting-and-so-on.blogspot.ch/2014/06/starburst-mitts.html
The mitts are really lovely; so many wonderful and descriptive names have been suggested.
When I see your mitts the pattern of the stitches remind me of the wings of a humming bird as it hovers to sip nectar. A good friend came over to take pictures of the humming birds one summer; those beating wings, swept forward look like the swoop formed in your mitt. Wings bones of birds are analogous to hands of people - it is fascinating.
Your color choice is fantastic, if it were other colors or plain the mitts would still - to my eye - swoop or hover.
So, I suggest something like: "On the wing", "Hover wing", "Hands take flight", "Wave Wing", or something similar that connects with the wing / hand form and function. Maybe someone else can come up with a good flight name. It will be fun to learn what name you choose. Thanks for sharing your work.

They remind me of furrows in soil for planting so I looked up synonyms for furrows and got these:
ditch channel corrugation crease crinkle dike fluting fold groove gutter hollow line plica rabbet ridge ruck rut seam trench wrinkle crow's-foot rimple rivel
Maybe you could go with something like 'groovy ridge mitts' or 'corrugated mitts', or some other combination of those synonyms.
Cute mitts.
Because the lines all come together, I'm thinking Convergence
These fingerless mitts have more flare than I've ever seen in a mitt. Nice job.
I showed them to my DH and he said they remind him of a tornado. He suggested Whirlwind Mitts.
Hi, thank you all for your great suggestions. Unfortunately it took me a while to publish the pattern. I've decided to call them Sparkler Mitts - they are available here (free):
