Does your truck have a name?

as most in here know, this is Mutt....
but the reasoning behind the name wasn't as many would suspect as a conglomeration of brand parts... tho there is a bunch of that going on... the reasoning was it's alternate purpose, other than a marine service rig, was a kennel rig build for my pooch, Kai...
my K5 has no name other than the labor pit...

Bow chika wow wow .
Buddy of mine named the K10 “The Animal” after a day in passenger seat in Moab. Those of you that grew up in the 80’s will remember the toy with the claws that came out of the tires.
Couple of my other cars and trucks have names too.

I was in Moab too, and that was a fun conversation the next day
Yep, it’s like wheeling on grip tape in a lot of places
I never named any truck. My oldest sister always named hers. I used to have the red truck and the green truck. I bought a red '79 K30 which I planned on referring to as the '79.. for some odd reason, the wife and daughter decided that wouldn't work. So then they decided that my C10 was Pearl because of the paint job, my shortbed is now SC, short for stepchild. It has had a few fits in its life like a red-headed step child. Sorry if that offends anyone, which is why it has initials now. The old '79 was Beast.
The now gone '72 K5 was Bruiser because of the dents and being black and blue.
My '90 came with a name... Jimmy.
@Bent77 and @Justin V seem to think that it needs a different name.

Never "named" any of my vehicles,but I have called them several vulgar names often,when they pissed me off !..like F-N P-O-S..!
"Rotbox"..."Valdez".
The 82 K2500 has been a pain in my a$$ lately,and since I put the skull on the plow frame back around Halloween,people are asking me what his name is..
I could use "Jolly Roger" I guess,seeing my dad's name was Roger,but most would think its a pirate's name..
Others have suggested Sgt. Scully...and
"Bonehead",that name fits me better for owning two 6.2 powered trucks though.
....another friend said "Red Skeleton" fits well,seeing the truck is maroon ....

I don't name vehicles. It's too juvenile to me. It's something young teenagers do (or older people who have the same mentality still as teenagers). Not trying to offend anyone on here, I just find it real dumb.
Doesn't matter what you name it.....it still wouldn't come if you called it

I agree with @Kay86K5 naming stuff is stupid. Got a name for you lawnmower or snowblower, how about your kitchen blender, or mixer??? Yeah.... Thought so....
But unfortunately some of my stuff have assumed names over the years.
The 76 in my avatar has assumed the name the white sleigh for a joke with my wife about no snow at Christmas and Santa would use the stepside instead.
My dump truck assumed the term "dumpy"
My 79 is called "big red" by my friends. I shutter every time I hear it.
The 60 studebaker lark is called "Shirley Temple" by my wife and her sister.
And lastly I call my current work car. (Impala) a fu©king pile of shit

I agree to a point. It's somewhat why I like the idea that no one gets to name their own vehicle. A name can be handy since to a certain degree we all drive the same thing, and/or have several of the same thing, and it becomes an easier way to talk about someones vehicle other than "the white one, no the other white one, no, the one with the lift, the bigger one...etc"
Around anybody other than you guys, my blazer has always just been "the blazer" or "the '72". My daughter always called it "big yellow truck". Those names worked just fine because it is unique enough to be the only one of any of those around. Around you guys, not so much... although the yellow does stand out in the crowd still.
Oh, and now I have 2 of them.
The best names are organic, ie, everyone just starts using the name and it sticks. Or, it's named by your kids.

My Samurai is "Sick Puppy", K5 is "WTF?!?"
Don't think I've spent decades working on, and tens of thousands of dollars on any of the stuff you mention lol. Let alone quarts of blood.

I understand your point, but my point was that most people don't name other inanimate objects in their life....
How about your house, that's easy to dump tons of money into, and have blood sweat and beers, poured into it. Your house have a name?
Certainly can't answer the psychology of why vehicles get named...to differentiate among multiples? It's shorthand..."the red two wheel drive chevy" or "the black dodge 3/4 ton". "the '87", "The beater", "money pit" , etc.
I don't have multiple blenders for instance, so "the blender" works.
