Some names just stick

When I bought the X it had a sticker on the inside of both 2nd door windows in the bottom front corner. Its a white background with a blue check mark, and below that it say's Whale. Since the X is Blue Everybody calls it the blue whale.The name stuck. I don't have any idea what the sticker signifies,but I left them on. Some names just seem seem to fit I guess. I never named a vehicle before,but I do refer to it as the whale on occasions.

My daughter named ours The Limo and that has stuck. In fact whenever there is a school dance I end up taking all of her friends, pulling up in front of the school unloading all the girls sure gets the looks.

It is funny how names come about. My kids just gave mine a new name after I put the Buckstop bumpers on. Zombie Crusher.

A lady at my church keeps calling ours the Land Yacht....but that name as we all know, is taken.

Big Red works well for ours.

Haha.. that reminds me of the movie Robin Hood Men in Tights. When Little John says "The name is Little John, but don't let the name fool you, in real life I'm very big"

I made the comment, just after I bought it, that it was like driving your living room down the road. That name has stuck. My X is now "The Living Room". Going shopping? Just take the Living Room. Need to pull something? Use the Living Room.
