Name our cardinals!

As I'm tired of referring to our resident cardinals as "the male cardinal" and "the female cardinal," I want to name them. As I can't discern any personality other than "male cardinal" and "jumps on the windowsill and looks inside when there's no food in the feeder" for the male, but the female is quite insistent about driving away her rival in the window on a daily basis, are there any het literary couples where the woman is canonically jealous of her rivals that spring to mind?

(I'd name them Peter and Harriet except that Harriet is way too sensible to be worried about the Harriet in the window taking the affections of Peter. In fact, for quite a lot of her story, she would welcome that!)

Using the "Hank the cardinal" tag just because that's my other cardinal story.

She's a cardinal. She may have female plumage, but 'Scarlett' is pun enough.
