General What's in a name....

[Alan.D]

OK the Italia 90 is still without a name and as he will be used for the Arctic trip next year it would be nice to have one....

Last two were Willie and Ivor (how's he doing btw?) so no Willie or Ivor 2's I know this section is great for picking names (Vin picked the Ivor) so what idea's do you have?

Here he is surrounded by Ivor & Willie for inspiration...





He's currently at my bodyshop mates being looked over for all structural and paintwork required to get him in A1 condition, but needs two doors preferably white but not essential. Once that is sorted i'll start on all of the mechanical work. But he does drive very tight so that's a bonus.

As he's a footy car then how about naming him "Diego" or "Maradona"? They were both round about the same era too! Every time you remove/ replace one of the football wheel trims you could say it was done with "the hand of God".

And I know Maradona was Argentinian but he's still got Latin blood like the Fiat

Somehow "Paul" or "Gascoine" doesn't have the same ring to it

Good idea / names Floyd is called Floyd as that's the name he came with. Bobby is called Bobby because he's blue and an ex Police car, and Noah (4x4) is called that because of his numberplate - last three being ARK.

Good luck in picking a name

Ciao was the little stick figure logo, and the captain of the Italian team was Fabio Cannavaro.

They beat England for the 3rd place position

Ciao looks favorate at the mo...

 

[Pandarus]

Fabio sounds good to me.

 

[Nuova500]

Waddle... as in Hoddle and Waddle, Pandas kind of waddle dont they?

I think Fabio sounds better, plus it's got the footy connection - what with it being the captain's name, and of course with Mr. Capello being England manager at the moment.. (and I know you're of the Jock persuasion, but you're living on OUR side of the wall )

Cheers,

Unfair, I always keep my fingers crossed for any UK team in the world cup whether it be Scotland, England, Wales or NI, even Eire. But I never watch Scotland cause I'm sick of seeing them f**k up....

OK so Fabio seems the more popular than Caio, BUT it's not grabbing me that much so any more idea's?

 

[gaz.d]

gino
gianni

[hensteeth]

Umh that talk of food yum risotto ha!ha! would do me -on the footy theme one name i suggest is Baggio as in Roberto who was a top player and scored a great goal against the czechs in the 1st round or schillacci who won a golden boot in the tournament in 90.what you think m8?

 

[Alan.D]

Like the thinking but would struggle to call the poor thing baggio

 

[aquamarine]

A few more football related ideas:

Calcio (means football)
Gioco (means game - good Jock link)
Mondiale (world cup - who cares if Ferrari pinched it first!)

 

[Flossyfly]

I'm not terribly original, but looking at the number plate I would call him Erik....

 

[greenbomber69]

How about Luciano, in tribute to Luciano Pavarotti ? He sung a little song to the world cup,didn't he ???!

 

[carlt]

Pav. is great name , he sang the world cup theme song and was a pro goalkeeper before the late night pasta sessions

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

I like the name baggio, for a car would never call my children it.

 

[Flossyfly]

Toto.

My partner says that Toto Schillaci was the top goal scorer in Italia 1990. I think its kind of cute too

 

[hensteeth]

Yeh or pronto panda ha!ha! just come quick 0-60 would be good? baggio holds a lot 4 me
I like the b word though I called mine Basset as its allsorts of colour.
