Naming the 'fender

jplambs · 24th September 2009, 10:52 PM

Ok then, I need some help, although it is not of the urgent variety.

I have just registered my new (95) and first defender in S.A. and was allocated the plate S851-ADY. This has brought up the matter of names.

Now my first inclination is to give her a female name, mainly cause I keep referring to her as "her" and "she". My sisters on the other hand want me to give it a male name as they consider anything else to be an insult to femininity. My Grandmother calls it The Beast and some other female friends call it a Man's Truck.

So here are my thoughts so far after getting the plates, either Sadie, Lady, or Adeline if its a girl or Andy, Randy, etc if its going to be a guy.

Has anyone got any other suggestions? Also are your Defenders male or female or both?

you will be calling it names we cannot repeat on this forum, but thats in the privacy of your garage.

Sandy has got my vote.

I call my Defe Rustic and "Sieve" was the other name in mind because the "excellent" sealed body and mechanical components

Darth Vader comes to mind as the thing is bloody evil at times, and it calls me over to the dark side. ( I love the thing though)

The name you decide on is obviously personal - but for me, my Defender is a fella. But I'm trying to buy a Series 2 at the moment - and she's definitely a lady! Good luck with your new buddy.

I'm liking Sadie.

Scallops - I always thought that cars should have girls names, until I realised that my cars to date have been named "Gus", "Monty", "Harold", "Ambrose" and "Austin"!

Hello Shonky - yeah, I have always thought so too. But when I got my Defender - it just said, "G'day mate, you and I are going to have a lifetime of fun together now". And then - I swear - it scratched "it's" nuts!
