Hi Sara! I'm terrible about not naming my reptiles. I'll call my adult female burmese "gal" or "big gal" and my male "boy," and one of their hatchlings "lil' un" (lttle one), but they don't have official names.
Once in awhile a characteristic will jump out at me that brings a name to mind, like my okeetee corn snake has a perfect "E" in the middle of her back that made me immediately think of the name "Ellie" as in "Ellie Mae Clampet."
Looking at the pics of your rescue it appears that it's not the traditional "big-blotches" pattern, and more of a marble type (or labyrinth like) pattern. Being a girl I might call it "Mable," which is "marble" minus the "r."
That sounds silly, crazy, even. But I've got a good excuse; I'm a hillbilly. Heeheehee!!!
Just for the record, I also realize that what I'm calling a "marble-like" pattern is different than what's recognized as a marble morph. 
The bench in the pics of Pixil in her cage threw me off, making me think that it was a cage built around a china cabinet of some other furniture. Ha! Ha! That may be what got "burmeseman07" too. Lookin' good.
Have a good one! HH ----- Due to political correctness run amuck, this ol' hillbilly is now referred to as an: Appalachian American
