Do you have a nickname for your Jeep and did any of your friends nickname you for your Jeep?
My Jeep's nickname is "Big Black" and a few of my friends who don't drive Jeeps call me TJ since my Jeep is a 99 TJ even though my real name is Cole.
 
My girlfriend doesn't like climbing up in my Jeep and thinks it looks hillbilly (as she would say), so she calls it Jeb. I didn't like it to begin with but now I think it's a name and it adds some character to what some might call just a machine or automobile. Term of endearment, I suppose.
 
being on the gulf coast about 25 minutes from galveston...I came up with HURRICANE. I have it in Rubicon font in flat black on my hood. Next is going to be custom...all black plates...CTGRY 5. Category 5. For you inland guys that is a designation of the severity of a hurricane..5 being the most powerful.
 
I was trying to come up with a name for mine while still learning "his" personality. I had ideas like Hidalgo (loved the horse in that movie) and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes, the tiger always got Calvin into mischief) when a friend of mine said "Kate, you should name your Jeep "Ajax" ! I told him I thought it was a stupid name and ask where the hell he came up with THAT! He replied; "Ajax was a great warrior and besides... Ajax is stronger than dirt!!" (from an old Ajax cleanser commercial)

Damned if it didn't stick!:doh:

Eveny now and then he'll pop off with "Say it Kate... you know you want to!" :rolleyes: it makes me laugh every time.
 
Still have not figured out a name for mine. I thought about naming it Gibbs after the character in NCIS because I shifted a little rough one time and my sister hit her head on the head rest while doing something stupid... but the name has not stuck.
 
I'm still working on one. I love the story about Taffy 3 and the Samuel B Roberts at Leyte Gulf during WWII.

Taffy?
Sammy?

Something completely different?
 
My YJ is named "Junior". My daughter named it after our old CJ5 whose name was "Jasper". I was taking her to school one morning and said we needed to come up with a name for the YJ. She said we should call him "Junior", as in "Jasper Junior". I thought that was pretty cool and it stuck. FYI: Jasper is my avatar pic. I sure do miss that Jeep!
