How about 'Bette' for Bette Midler. For some reason, the pink scoots remind me of the Divine Miss M....A little audacious and flirty, but man can she sing.

Wow - there's been a lot of reponses to this since I first started the thread...

As for my scoots name; I had originally named her Reba, but after my boyfriend had to come rescue me when she conked out a couple of weeks ago (don't worry - she's ok ) he started calling her "Pussy Tourette " (a drag queen/night club performer )and it's kinda stuck...

Jmazza, Let me tell ya something - I dig your work. Playing one side against the other, in bed with everybody - just fabulous stuff.

My buddy was simply Buddy until recently. A lab-mate has begun calling him 'The Praying Mantis' and it has grown on me. So it's official...Buddy has a name!

AmyNTX · Post by **AmyNTX** » Thu May 29, 2008 3:22 pm

yeah..I still can't think of a name...it's pink...and girly..and I am very outgoing..kinda silly...hmmmm any thoughts?

Orange Guy · Post by **Orange Guy** » Thu May 29, 2008 6:06 pm

After some internal debate, I'm calling mine Iroh, inspired by a character from the cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender.

My upcoming decal work incorporates a logo from Iroh's nation, so it all ties together.

Also, a lot of Iroh's character applies to the scooter and scooting. From wiki:

"In the show, Iroh is a Firebending master and a former Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, a race of people who can create and control fire."

"Easygoing, friendly and dryly good-humored, Iroh treats his self-imposed exile of the first part of the series as though it were an extended vacation."

"... he focuses more on the pursuits of relaxation and amusements. However, beneath the easy going exterior lies a wise man experienced in the ways of the world, a seasoned and wily strategist, and a powerful Firebending master."

"He also demonstrates a respect and appreciation for all cultures ..."

"Iroh has a tendency to not involve himself in battle, but when he does partake in them, he displays great skill."

If I had a pink Buddy, I'd name him Mr. Pink - I am of course a Steve Buscemi fan. In fact our cat has a pink nose so we named him...

yes, Mr. Pink is a good idea.

I actually named my cat Toby.
Chew? Toby Chew?

I was kind of wanting a girls name for my St Tropez, but I'm liking the name Gilligan, you remember from the TV show, "Come on little buddy" says the skipper.

Any reference to Bob Denver is more than acceptable. He is an icon almost on par with Don Knotts.

And now, introducing Gumby & Pokey in living color!

Gumby is my husband's recently painted Piaggio Fly 150. Pokey is mine.
I have no explanation for the socks and funny hat.

We have a pink Buddy 125. We named him Piglet.

Well being the HUGE Scrubs fan I am, I decided to name mine Sasha after JD's scooter on Scrubs. Although he drives a TNG Venice, I still pay my respects to him.

Juice is his given name.

sometimes referred to as scoot juice.

mostly just Buddy

What a great name: Scoothulhu! I wish I had thought of that! Maybe I could spell mine "Scthulhu".... Of course, I would have to have my Buddy-to-be repainted a blasphemous shade of green in order for the stars...er, I mean the name to be right.

I'm a big fan of Lovecraft's weird fiction, too.

Maybe I could get a lobster red one and name it Mi-Go. Or have one resprayed a brownish color and call it Brown Jenkin.

My pink Buddy's name is Piglet -- I even have vanity plates with that name on it -- cuz when it grows up it wants to be a HOG.

You're not the only one with a Piglet, but may be the only one with matching plates!

Mine's CKUTHNK, pronounced Scoot-nik. It's the best transcription I could do using English letters for Cyrillic ones. It's named for the Russian satellite Sputnik, which means "traveling companion."

Tangerine Buddy 125.

I covered this in a separate thread, but the name went from RN Uglad to Clementine and I have now settled on Velveeta.

I named mine Absinthe, or call her Abbie or Sin for short.

I'm all set to name mine "Fat Chick" Even have the sticker made, I'm just not sure my wife would want to ride two up with that printed under her butt!

My brand new (300 miles, 3 1/2 weeks) baby-blue Buddy is Bubbles. She has decal bubbles from the scrapbook store on the front cowling, and has the woven basket on the back, adorned with a large blue bow.

I'm trying to figure out how to rig something that will blow bubbles when we stop at lights.

Yeah, she definitely has her Girl Card!

I named my scooter, DOLCEGITA - since she's a Series Italia model. That translates to sweet ride and that she truly is. Good luck with your name selection.

chrissolo48 · Post by **chrissolo48** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 8:23 pm

Hi! Just put the deposit down last night so I have a couple of weeks to decide.

At first I was set on Gilligan ("Hey li'l buddy!"). Then I thought of Leila-like the song. Then my husband and I talked about getting his & hers scooters and starting a radical motorcycle club (The Key Largo Pirates) and we were joking about couples' names - Laurel and Hardy, Martin and Lewis, Bogie & Bacall - that one sounded like it would fit in nicely with our motorcycle club and it ranks up there as a definite possiblity. We also talked about Zeus and Apollo ("Patrol") - a shout out to Magnum PI.

Of course, there's always the possibility of Gilligan and Skipper...

I think my favorites are Bacall, Apollo and Gilligan. At least I've narrowed it down to 3.

Ok, I've managed to read all 4 pages, and nobody has mentioned Tang. I'd like to place a temporary hold on Tang and its derivatives for a few days while my local Council of the Buddy Name deliberates. Thanks.

What color grips on yer Pink Buddy AmyNTX? Pearl Grips by any chance... like a too fancy to shoot pearl gripped pistol? A name like Pearl is like a Kanji tattoo, it will spark conversation and need an explanation.
