This is a topic that comes up every so often.
I had in mind to call ours Minerva, but she didn't seem to like it and wanted to be called Vanessa. Alis doesn't like Vanessa so she remains unnamed. A tricky conundrum Peter. May I suggest Jacob as a suitable name perhaps (as in the cream cracker). On reflection I think I shall christen mine Betty (as in the Ram Jam song Black Betty).

Could not think about another name will fit better ... Superb Ralf! It'll be a long winter but then a 'Great' spring. Pics required when she arrives, of course. Cheers

KLE are the grouped Alphas in my +8 plate and I thought it might be a nice idea to give brains the opportunity to name the car when I arrived home in it back in July.
I gave her the keys and she took off to give it a little exercise returning and pronouncing that "it's very nice but it won't catch on" !
She didn't like the names suggested by the Alpha's as they were Kylie and Kathleen so "The Morgan" it is. How about Kayleigh ?

A friend in Australia bought a Landrover with broken suspension. He called it "Eileen", and when fixed it was "Noeleen".
Another friend had a Transit that kept breaking down, called "Gloria" (sic transit gloria).
True, both.

Woodstock, the 4/4 was named by my mother as it was rather yellow. The three wheeler was bought at the time the Elk test was in the news and gained the name as a result of its dislike of German motor cars and being denied sweets at nine years of age when war broke out.
