Mine has been christened Black Betty, after the Spiderbait song (originally done by Ram Jam) of the same name:
Very cool song, Alyssa, but it's roots go back way further then Ram Jam...
Black Betty by Leadbelly (1939)

MrW called me up and said "I have the perfect name for the Jeep... and so the Willy Mammoth was born.."
I think names need to come by chance, you can't overthink it, something just sparks one day and WAH-LAH...
~and if you ask me why I'll say, cause Oscar Mayer has a way, with b-o-l-o-g-n-a~
