What's Her Name? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cam.man67 · 08-24-2010, 07:07 AM

So now that I've got my truck back, I need a name for her. I was originally thinking "Breeze" or "The Breeze", or something like that, but now that just seems dumb. Now I'm thinking "Bess". Heck, do I even need a name for her

? What do you guys think?

btullis99 · 08-24-2010, 08:13 AM

how bout "bree"

rusty baker · 08-24-2010, 08:28 AM

How about truck? I have called mine, all kinds of names, but I would get banned if I put them here.

**70cst** · 08-24-2010, 08:45 AM

Maybe "La Bree" ...

68gmsee · 08-24-2010, 10:00 AM

How do you know it's a "she". It may be a "he."

My '69 is "Grasshopper." Aptly named by my MIL cause it was light green and with a white tool box it somehow reminded her of a grasshopper.

The '68 GMC I named "Bluebell" for it's pale blue color like the Bluebell flower.

So, what's my point? Don't name it now. At some time in the future an appropriate name will come to you. If it doesn't, well it means that it's just another truck...

Well....if the truck is used for the Post Office its a "MAIL" truck.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I think I'll just leave her/him nameless for hte time being, and maybe something will hit me as I continue to drive her/him.

Mike J · 08-25-2010, 12:47 PM

Mine's named Gurdy

Short Circuit · 08-25-2010, 02:35 PM

My wife calls mine "The Mistress"

68Stepbed · 08-25-2010, 04:20 PM

I've had my truck 10 1/2 years now and never been able to come up with a good name for it. My sons nicknamed it "The Hotrod truck". My wife sometimes refers to it as "My other wife."

I used to have a 66 lonbed pickup that my wife called "The Booger" cuz it was green and she said it was ugly, nobody else thought it was ugly though. Unfortunately, The Booger stuck(get it?) and that's what we all called it.

Most car or truck names just happen. It seems like when you want to name one, you can't come up with anything.

ewoody625 · 08-25-2010, 05:14 PM

my buddy named my 71, he called it orville the big orange orge(not sure if i spelled it right but orge as in shrek). it was orange but im not sure where orge came from??? its orville for short and now that i wrecked it and am rebuilding a new one (a 70) its orville 2.0 but i dont think i like that name anymore and im trying to get away from it, probably stuck with it though...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-25-2010, 07:13 PM
