Re: Uh just curious
I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF A NAME SUITABLE FOR MY 86 SHORTY, BUT THE THOUGHT HAS CROSSED MY MIND A FEW TIMES. I CALL IT GIRL SOMETIMES, BUT I GET TO THINKING THAT MAYBE IT SHOULD BE A GUYS NAME BECAUSE ITS A CHEVY C10 = SILVERADO AS OPPOSED TO GMC = SIERRA..... GET IT??

Re: Uh just curious
People name there trucks to make them more personal,The whole reason they are named after women is because they are unpredictable,just like a woman.

Although I don't call mine by a name, it does have one. She is known as Shy Ann.

Re: Uh just curious
I call mine "The Heap". I guess the truck is a "male", wouldn't be cool to refer to a female as "The Heap". LOL

Re: Uh just curious
I've had a lot of vehicles, but very few end up with a name and it's usually named by someone else. My neighbors named our Suburban "Lurch". Although I do have a Camaro that I named "The Coon" because it had raccoons living in it when I bought it.

Re: Uh just curious
Some of my vehicles get name and some don't. Just depends of if a name fits or not. My truck is called Rufus ... no real reason .. just fits.

Re: Uh just curious
I thought they were named after women because they are both alike....on a cold morning when you want them to turn over they won't...

I think I've only named two trucks, if the name comes to you rather than looking for it you know you've got the right one. |

Re: Uh just curious
It happens to more than just cars/trucks. I've heard people in the Navy refer to Naval ships as women, and in the movie "Titanic" The designer states, "I assure you, she can, and will sink" or something closely similar to that.
You can name your vehicle whatever you want, but, [it sounds creepy i know] if you have that special bond with your vehicle compared to the "it's just metal and rubber" people, you know what to name it when you get behind the wheel. I have named all 5 vehicles i have owned. Mostly as a tradition, and some cases, like my old '82 C10, for the love and time i have put into it. Meet the ladies. "Christine" 1982 Chevrolet Silverado.   "Christina" 1983 Chevrolet Caprice.  "Kristen" 1991 Chevrolet Blazer.  "Kathrine" 1988 Mercury Cougar.  "Cassy" 1995 Chevrolet silverado.
