Yes, I have some ideas about Cholent's name. But no, I'm not telling yet.
You can offer your suggestions though.

Cholent [CHUH-lent] is a slow-cooked stew of Eastern European origin that is eaten on Shabbat. It may contain any combination of meats, potatoes, eggs; grains such as barley, wheat, rice; beans, chick peas, onions, spices. Done right it is delicious, warm, and comforting. Consider this Cholent a stew of ideas, thoughts, and the influences that spice up my life (aka my children)

How about Nadine? :-)
I think I know several variations of what here name could be.
Love
ME
Nina? I like it.
Nora? Not so good with a mother named Laura. Remember when I had a sister-in-law named Nora? It was confusing. Nice name though.
Olivia? Ezra W.'s fiancee is named Olivia. I think she's cool. Just makes me think of olives though, and oblivia -> oblivious.
Oritte? souns very Israeli. "Or" means "light" and there are loads of names on this variation. They are considered particularly appropriate for babies born around Hannuka (example: Festival of Lights) which is more or less the season that Cholenta is due.
Some examples: Or, Ora, Orna, Ornit, Liora (I get called Liora here sometimes so that's out too, but I like it).
Ophelia (Greek -- helper)? I can never take this name seriously because my mother grew up with a kid named Ophelia Dickey. Bad, bad.
Penelope/Peni/Penny? First thought is the Israeli name for boys: Pini. Can't do it. Also I had a traumatic experience in France with a Brassens poem that required knowing that Penelope rhymes with "salope".
Phoebe? Has a nice sound, but I couldn't give a name I couldn't spell myself. In Hebrew it might redux to Peebee since you don't usually start words with "f" sounds, only "p" sounds.
Adding to the N list: Nili. Feminine, easy to pronounce in any language. Was the name of an Israeli underground resistance organization against the British.
Also one of my dogs is named Phoebe so not so good
