What's a good non-pejorative nickname for a smart person?

I have a teenage character who needs a nickname. People admire her for her smarts, but I don't want to call her "Brain" or "Genius." Can anyone come up with a complimentary nickname for her?

    How about "Lucky," or "Gem."

    Lucky because not many people are actually smart enough to be admired, and Gem because she is one of the fortunate ones who is intelligent; one in a million, rare as a gem.
