My scooter is named Nancy, not beacause it has no guts or power (like my buddy chris, who we all call nancy for those reasons) I bought it from a wonderful lady named Nancy, and she had a label on the dash of the scooter that said "Nancy's scooter" it seems to have stuck.
Mine is named Serenity for the ship from the TV show "Firefly" (and it's corresponding movie, "Serenity") that I felt had a scooter-y look to it... and because that is the feeling that it brings to me while riding.
I had the idea "bella" even though its not from the italia series, i know its a girl and she is beautiful. I have the 125 white. Otherwise i was thinking of blanca. i love the show weeds and thats what they call her... what do you think?? blanca / bella?

Hah! I loved the puns and bad comedy in that show!
That show was/is criminally under-rated. I'm not sure why it made me laugh as much as it did but it still gets me every time. I'm glad somebody appreciates the reference!
My tangerine Buddy is named Fireball. My husband originally started calling it Cutie like the little oranges and I was joking and said Cutie was a wimpy name, I was thinking of something more like "Fireball". And the name stuck. I didn't know there was actually a an Atomic Fireball scooter until later.
I tagged my RH50 as Sporklette... as in, not quite a full utensil. There's a massive story involving sporks in my life... so almost everything gets tagged in such a manner. Even my online "persona"/handle.
My buddy's name is Aguacate--means avocado in Spanish. It sounds Latin and mysterious even though it's just the color of the scoot. My bikes all have names too.
Buddy name = MOTTRO for: Microwaveable (and dishwasher safe) On The Top Rack Only... but soon that will just be its classification, because of it's plastic shell, I think I may change its name to something manly, like "Belle."

It's nearly impossible to go anywhere without being noticed. They arrived, and ultimately left on the mothership, so I found it fitting to name my unique vehicle "the mothership"
My wife named my Buddy "Putt-Putt". "Are you taking your car or 'Putt-Putt' to work?"

I named my scoot "the road runner" after I got passed by an Arizona road runner on my way home from work, I was doing about 35 when this huge bird popped out of a bush and ran along side me for quite a while. I though it fitting to give him the "meep meep" from my horn and he promptly sped off ahead of me and disappeared into the dessert. I laughed all the way home.
