Re: her name, it shouldn't be too hard? I mean, you're not humanizing it so much as just giving her a human one. Her powers could easily be enhanced physical capabilities (which would include senses) or her mind-melding abilities.

She wouldn't necessary get in trouble for it... unless she had a job that required her to speak with people. Maybe something like a reporter or perhaps a social sciences major? Look at me, pretending to know what I'm talking about...
