“What's in a name? that which we call a rose........ (1 Viewer)

[jansellsbond]

Do you have a name for your motorhome? How did you come by that name? Many years ago the wife and I had a motorhome in New Zealand where a beach hut or a more sophisticated equivalent was called a "batch" perhaps short for a bachelor apartment (citation needed) and we called our home for six months "WheelieBatch" . Now we are off for a couple of years of so in our U.K. type motorhome to tour Europe and will call our new home by the same name. Who has a name and a good reason for the name of their home?

Our old Bongo was called Valentine Teabag, bought on Valentines day & had a smell of teabags lol. Myfanwy for our Sprinter, as we have a strong Welsh connection.

"Wallace" - from its original registration before I had my vanity plate on it!

PUG
Cos we have a Peugeot PVC (panel van conversion)
I bought Ralph the reg RB14 PUG as a pressie for working so hard converting Pug ( Ralph Bev 14 PUG ) we love getting out and about in him as much as possible.

The current van is Buffy because of her registration ending in "BUF". The new one will be Jemima
Her registration will end in "DUX" and my Mum always said she wished she had called me Jemima because I was usually found sitting in any puddle I could find. These days I don't make my own

Ours is Celine.
Think the reason is pretty obvious.

Had ours 20 months now and it still hasn't got a name. Can't seem to find the right one. We call it the Van.
Could be Vangelis, Vanessa, Vanda, Evan, but none of them are right.

Just the van, the caravan that preceded it had the same as did the Bessie usually and all three have been and are the only van we have. I suggested Pontius for this one (since it's a Pilote, obviously) but Pete pointed out he didn't think that the original was really portrayed as a very nice person - so No Way.

My Chausson was a Gertie also slighly portly and bit overweight.

My new Hymer is an ML-i, I cannot have Millie as that has gone to another of the same ilk. Wifey wants Germima or Hermione.
If it is a choice then the latter, Hermione would be the better

I'm Irish and like to do a lot of Roving.......

Peanuts because of the tenuous link to the registration - **** YKP

 

[CWH]

Harvey because he has pretensions to being an RV.
But much to his disgust he's commonly referred to as 'the van'.

 

[Jaws]

Woman calls it She, I call it 'bloody thing' for short, or sometimes give its full title
'bloody thing has gone wrong again'
