My olive green 2012 170i Italia is called "The Olive Pit". I even picked up an Olive Pit key fob for it at the Olive Pit store in Corning, California. I also have an '09 150 Blackjack but so far it's nameless. Any suggestions? BTW, what's the significance of "Armondo Sancho"?

I only name some of my scoots. The name has to come to me while riding or in a flash of inspiration.

Most recently, named my Helix Ramona, from RNA, a single helix. :nerd:

At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

On Fuelly.com, I called my Italia 'Enzo'. If I pick up a Vespa, I guess I'll need to call it 'Aldo', or some other fine Irish name.

Khamûl. It's a Nazgûl name. I think if you pronounce it out loud your voltage regulator will burn out, so don't even try. :twisted:

If that happened, then I guess you'd have to walk a mile (or more) for a Khamûl.

Armondo

Post by ScootLady »

I wanted an exotic name, so Armondo was for the first name.
then a girl friend told me that Sancho means lover of married woman. And I love him so

Makes sense IF if it's your only helix....but if it gets a stablemate?
Might I suggest:

DiNA, or DiaNA, possibly DNAmy ( yes, the gene splicer from Kim possible)

Why? DOUBLE HELIX! DNA....

no name for mine yet, testing a few out to see if they "fit"...you know if it "feels" Like a Betty, Marlene or Gwendolyn...

Oh, you want an elaboration?

"Stinky" is the nickname of my first dog. She is gone now and it's in her honor. She was rough and tough and cute all at the same time. Same as the Psycho. We also used to call her "Psycho Mutt", so more connection.

"Hoot"? The C3 is just a "hoot" to ride.

Alert-Alert Name Change---Name Change!!! The silver Pullet is no more. Not a suitable name for a Buddy 170i. Hence forth this scoot will be known as the Silver Dragon. :wink:

Anime reference. It's the name of a fictional species of butterfly that escorts the recently deceased to the Other Side. They also act as messengers on the Other side.
