Amaterasu is a goddess of the Sun in the Japanese Shinto religion.
Amaterasu was a Goa'uld system lord in the television series Stargate SG-1. She was a minor character and only appeared in the episode New Order, parts 1 and 2, and was mentioned in two other episodes.
Amaterasu also appears in a self named manga series and others, including The Five Star Stories, and 666 Satan.
Amaterasu is quite an unwieldly name, but it is very unique and beautiful. I could see Amy or Sue as nicknames, but they are so pedestrian compared to Amaterasu, that they almost detract from it. Perhaps she's best left to the middle spot.
There is a video game that I love called Okami. You play as the white wolf sun goddess Amaterasu Okami. Such a beautiful, fun game.
