Yes that did spring to mind fleetingly and then I looked at him!
...although of course it would only take slight body modifications and a few stickers and we could fool the world! :lol:

I'm afraid I'm probably sadder than most - I've not only named all mine, but even did it alphabetically!
Abigail (the Traveller I still have thirteen years on)
Beattie (BT van). geddit?
Carrie (Convertible, recently rehomed in Ireland)
Dixon (Panda car) - obvious reasons for those old enough
Emily & Felicity (2 short-lived 2-doors)
Gizmo (B'stardised Traveller bought for spares toward Abbys rebuild)

... currently looking for 'Henrietta'.... :lol:

Mines Betsey, '64 traveller. I really want to change the name but I'm not sure if it'll be handy karma, like re-naming a ship.

I'm thinking Marwood maybe. so if there is a monty out there all we need is a withnail perchance???

My wife named our moggy 'Hugo' after the film where a little boy restores his only toy back to its former glory.
Then my son (without knowing we had named the mog Hugo) told us he's named him Reginald von Bartelsby. :o
So like a good pedigree dog Reginald Hugo von Bartelsby...Hugo for short.
Has anyones moggy got a longer name than this??? :roll:

My 55 Split Screen is called The Count

Mainly as every time I work on it (no matter how small a job) it always manages to draw blood :o

:P

It wasn't difficult with mine, registration ROX, so it had to be Roxy. She's a little treasure too.

Well... My lowlight - DUD, because his registration plate is DUD, is actually short for Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell.

I don't think it's longer but about the same. :D

On the subject of names, my modified 4-door was difficult to name (WRC) as Wilberforce had already been taken by Relfy's car, so the only one that stuck was Lilly. I like that too because being modified and with a tuned 1380cc A-series she can be 'Lilly Savage' :lol:

My Trav (E reg) is Emilia
My Convertable (no reg letter) is Mirium
My Pickup (K reg) is KATY
My LWB transit is FLER (reg. letters FLER) - The university I bought it off named it
My SWB transit is Potempkin (Named before I got it, I thought it was P reg, but is actually N reg)
My 82' Mini is called Xena (X Reg)
My '72 Mini Clubby is called Lynda (L reg)
My 2 sprites are un-named at the moment (one is NRD, the other has 666 in the plate)
My X reg focus is called - irrelevant :lol:

Mine is Sirius Blue. Because JPX is not lending itself to names and it is a reference to a certain successful set of books/films.
