Well,

The wife came up with the name, but I'll admit I really like it.

I have an Orange Buddy 125. Therefore the name is:

OB1

Yes, I know it's spelled wrong, but it's still cool....

Pokey
Cheetoh

Punky (pumpkin)

Any thoughts? My scooter is not gender specific

Name dilemma

Post by PammySue »

I had a sunset buddy that I was determined to name Pepe - now I have the St. Tropez and Pepe seems even more appropriate than ever!

But now, I can't get this one out of my mind - Bugs.



(Bugs Buddy) get it?

When my 75 year old aunt saw my Buddy she thought it must be German so she called it "Super Fahrt" (her translation: #1 Ride!!).....When I told her it was made in Asia, she said "then you have to name it 'SoHung'!".

So I must oblige....I guess my Scooters name is "SoHung".

If anyone, like me, wonders, "Who's Chasey Lane? Some musician I've never heard of?" and Googles the name, well...

Holy cow, you can really get some great suggestions for scooter names from her Filmography list at IMDb :shock:

I haven't read to many of your previous posts, so if my reply is off, well, you probably expect that from me anyways.

I have selected "Pokey" as my scooter's name. It sealed the deal when my husband got his Fly painted Envy Green (like the Scion xB).

Now we can be Gumby & Pokey (although he doesn't approve of the Gumby name, but I plan to wear him down)

I named my buddy before I got it like any good parents naming their child.

His name is Benny and the reason behind that is:

My boyfriend's best friend is named Ben. He hates being called Benny Boy.. So I call him Benny Boy :P In attempts to reconcile our new found friendship and basically stop the evil looks I decided to call my buddy, Benny. Hopefully I can contain myself and keep the name calling to a minimum. :D

Well I am a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan so I have no other choice. I had to name my scooter Scoothulu as an homage to the great Chtulhu. Just wish I thought of this before registering to the website, I would have taken that name instead of othergods lol I may have to reregister hehe

I've had her for a year, but Mr. cthoops came up with her name a few weeks ago - Olive. Not particularly original, but it definitely fits. Plus, after we changed the oil I was able to say "Olive has new oil!". Olive oil - get it? Yes, I'm easily entertained! :lol:
My other scoot is a road bike.

In terms of naming my Pamplona, I'm thinking either Bunny or Maude. The reasons will be apparent to some more than to others...

Man! you're full of 'em! Seriously, when I changed my oil, it spilt all over the "scooterport" we JUST poured the slab like a week before! Dang!

When Jimmy said our first local ride was gonna be on Saturday, I almost said "Saturday? I DON'T F*ING ROLL ON SHABBOS!!!" ...But then I reallized I'm not even Jewish and he probably wouldn't understand. Okay, I'll stop... for now.
