Jeep names. What is yours and why?

Nemo

With Punk’n the kids thought it should be named Garfield or Nemo. Nemo won since we spend so much time at the beach or lake and that’s where this truck will be a lot! The interior color also made it look more like a “Nemo” too!

I named it The Red Dragon. (Y Ddraig Goch in Welsh) Because it's Red, I'm of Welsh descent, and I like the Red Dragon of Wales!

Da iawn!

Not what came to my mind when I read that. Then again I don't know that language.

Welsh is not an easy language!

Thanks for all the replies. I first got interested in Jeeps because of the opening scene from Kelly's Hero's a favorite movie when I was a kid.

Kelly's Heros's intro

There is a family poll to name the Jeep based on the movie. So far Big Joe, and Crapgame are the favorites.

Oh c'mon...it's got to be Oddball!

Still working on a name for mine since I've only had it for a couple weeks, but currently leaning towards calling it Ganondorf (Ganon for short).
Given that it's a granite crystal JTR, it already has red accents everywhere. So I figured I could lean into the theme and get a red bedliner using the TotK version as inspiration:

Usually nothing, but sometimes I call it the “The Ugly Truckling”

When I’m attempting to work on it, it usually goes by “rotten piece of Mopar dog shit” “mother f’ing Chrysler garbage” “miserable junky red-ass S.O.B” etc…. I really like to freestyle with the insult names.

Growing up and up until recently all the family cars had names. I have been thinking of bringing back that tradition. I have a few in mind, but wanted to see what other chose and why.

Cheers,
John

Bruce, because the guy who created the Willys name pronounced it "Willis".

'The Jeep' or 'the Gladiator'. Seems easy enough

When I say we are taking 'the truck' the GF somehow gets confused and wonders if I'm talking about my old beater project we never drive ?

Wife named the Gladiator Vlad

and her Charger Raquel.

Montell (As in Montell Jordan)

It's a black JTR, "Gotta get mine in a big black truck..."

“Green Flash”, remembering 10 years of Hawaii’s sunsets, and an additional 6 years on other Pacific islands.

The Truck.

Because I own a Willys Wrangler, so saying "The Jeep" is no good now.

I always name my vehicles.

no name for my vehicles. They are inanimate objects.

Ok two new names added to the family poll Willie & Joe based on the famous comic from WW2

Eventually it will be Rubijave. I am going to be putting Mojaveesque suspension on my Rubicon so I can run fast in the desert, which is where I live, but also be able to crawl when I need to.
