did you name your buddy? what was your thought process in coming up with a name? I want to give her a name I'm just at a loss...

Posted: **Wed Apr 11, 2012 1:19 am**

Yep.. just got "Jolene" today. Was listening to some White Stripes and the song came on and I just knew it was her name.

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.

My Metro was "Yoshi."

My Blur is "Blitzen."

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?

Posted: **Thu Apr 12, 2012 1:27 pm**

I don't think I would name a scooter but if so it would most likely be the same as the dog in Steve Martin's The Jerk

Posted: **Thu Apr 12, 2012 1:47 pm**

I like the name Bella

Posted: **Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:43 pm**

My Buddy's name is iScoot.

Posted: **Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:36 pm**

Electric Sally is the Blackjack...'cause of her LED lights, and Serafina (Italian for 'burning one') for the oil burning 2 stroke Stella.

Posted: **Thu Apr 12, 2012 6:33 pm**

named mine Bianca...rolls off the tongue, sounds sexy, and cuts right thru me

Yes, but is it worth $600 a share?

I DECIDED. Mercury.

Tangerine Orange Buddy-Sting for the singer, my uni mascot (Yellowjackets), and for the Longaberger Bee (our convention we have in the summer)

(and no, I still haven't added my Yellowjacket sticker-can't decide where it should go!)

My red Pamplona is named Manuel... After the character in Fawlty Towers

Posted: **Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:53 pm**

Named mine Gordon Shumway. Seriously. It just felt right.

Posted: **Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:58 pm**

So far ...... .been calling him "Buddy Boy"

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2012 2:22 am**

My Italia is named Doby . Like its' elf namesake its' small size is quite deceptive when it comes to speed and power.

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 first blue Buddy was named Buddy Holly but it recently died. Not sure what I'm going to call this new/used black one I'm now riding.

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2012 6:32 am**

Phil. Maybe Bob.

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2012 8:47 am**

I would not think to name a scooter, no.

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2012 11:29 am**

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 named mine, Jacques. He is a 2009 St Tropez 150.

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:26 am**

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.

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2012 11:24 am**

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.

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:08 pm**

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."

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:09 pm**

My 170I is named "Gizmo Dodad Skeeter Rodrigez" or just Gizmo Rodrigez for short. And no my sur name isn't Rodrigez. That's just my humor...

"The Mothership"

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"

Poppy.

I watched the show Scrubs alot...so I named my St. Tropez Sasha because that's what he named his blue scooter!

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:53 pm**

My wife named my Buddy "Putt-Putt". "Are you taking your car or 'Putt-Putt' to work?"

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2012 12:46 am**

I named my scooter Sancha....she is a dirty little 125

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2012 1:59 am**

My Vino's name is Zin, short for Zinfandel. I have yet to discover my Blackjack's name.

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.
