What did you name your rig?

I am looking for inspiration for naming our new to us Barth 27' (1976 per name plate inside and 1977 per registration)
What names did you choose? What there a meaning behind it? If so, what was the meaning to you?
Thanks for any who might respond

Our's is named "The Family Truckster" after the famous station wagon due to the paint job . Someone said it reminded them of that car and we agreed with them .

Sometimes I refer to the Monarch as "driving the bus" Actually, if you look at the Spartan VIN it was originally built for a cement truck!

Have Barth, will travel, soon

Thank you for the replies! So far I have been just calling it 'the bus' too. I felt like we were not naming our new family member and it would be like calling a newborn 'the baby'

.
Did Barth start naming lines later (ie regal or regency)? Mine is pretty 'vintage' and so far it seems to be just Barth. Is this correct?

Called my first Barth "Nose" because it had a fiberglass front AKA "glass nose", just used the year manufactured for the last two, 86 and 71!

My first I called DBarth. Dbulls, Dbears and DBarth! That was my 94 Aristocrat.
My 72 is Camp Barth. No motor no transmission still on wheels and pullable as a giant toad. That’s how it got to camp. I pulled with DBarth.
My current driver was called Black Betty. It’s dark blue?? We call her Midnight. She’s dark but not black.

We refer to our Barth as Barf from Spaceballs. Something fun we enjoy.
