Ben, odds are all the names you're going to get here will suck and won't have any personal meaning.

If you must, I say, let your boy name it whatever he chooses. Don't try and coerce him, let him really think about it, come up with it, and stick with it. Even if it's goofy.

My 6yr old and his friends named their soccer team, "the flaming torpedoes" :ack: we tried to step in as parents with a reminder that torpedoes by nature really can't be flaming, but looking back now it's pretty funny and we always laugh about it.

Now, if I had a kid... That is the route I would take.

Flaming torpedoes is funny.

Actually, The Flaming Torpedo would work for this truck. Although it may come with some really bad connotations in this town....

And my kids will certainly get the final say.

Well, there was actually a *flying* torpedo - with Lucas electrics....

In the very early days of the LRO list back in '92 or so, one of the contributors was an engineer with Lucas's aerospace/defense division. They were designing a torpedo that when fired could sink to the bottom and lurk, waiting for an intended target to happen by. Well, somehow a negative number got programmed into its transformational matrix (its on-board, coded instructions), which the torpedo interpreted as an elevation, not a depth. So when fired, instead of sinking to the desired depth, it goes leaping along like some deranged dolphin, trying to fly. Worse, it begins circling, heading back towards the craft that fired it. Though it had no warhead, it was a few tense moments before the 'destruct' button worked.

Cheers

We have "The Disco" and "The Rangie." Sometimes "My rover or your rover" but lately I've been driving the Rangie more so that doesn't work.

Some of my college friends named my Disco the "Goldie Box" b/c it's gold and a boxy shape...but that wasn't something I thought I would use...especially not around a bunch of men! lol

i thought Jay and Jeff where from the St. Louis area? they were always writing about songs from that area. "a beach known for cancer" = Times Beach, MO. another song "Trace" was about Ste. Genevieve. MO.
and lets not forget about Golden Smog.

 

[DiscoveryXD]

My XD has been called all sorts of names over the years...

Rolling Twinkie
Banana Boat
The Rov
But the name that has always been used more than the rest, is "Short Bus"

 

[bigred]

she said "box"

 

[cptyarderho]

The short bus has come to mind -- I am a teacher.

I like The Twinkie.

And if it's girlie, well, I guess I'm man enough.

That would be funny, but you know one of the SPED teachers would flag you for a referral, at least many I know.

I had a sticker in the window of another truck that said Team Short Bus Racing, for a mountain bike event.

 

[Lake_Bueller]

Did anybody mention Yellow Submarine

 

[mountenn]

We have a black DI and a red DII, the black one is "The Rover," and the red one is, of course, "Red Rover." Clever? Absolutely.
