Name that van!

[The Leanings]

Hi, Kevin and Denise here, we are picking up our Cali at the end of the month. This will be our fifth van and our previous vans have all had names...Felix, Herman, Helmut and Optimus. We are now in deep discussion as to what the new van should be called..Kevin found the word ‘coddiwomple’ on social media which means ‘To travel purposefully toward an as yet unknown destination’...which we thought summed up our camper van life very well...so this has then been changed to ‘Caliwomple’ but we need a first name..have come up with Boris Caliwomple and Greebo Caliwomple...
Any more ideas would be gratefully received ...look forward to hearing from you all

I would forget Caliwomple & call it towerofpizza it seems to go well with your user name

 

[TripleBee]

Gomple Caliwomple?

 

[Meoncoast]

Just call it "the Van" or " Van5" whatever

EXACTAMUNDO what @Meoncoast said. People giving vehicles names are mental in my opinion

 

[Georgiegirl]

Could it just be a Cali called Womble, or sticking to that theme Orinoco or Tobermory? #showingmyagenow

 

[Katie T]

I'd go with Boris

 

[Billywizz]

Just don’t name it

I don't really understand the van-naming thing myself. We love our van, but it's just referred to as 'the van' - it doesn't seem to mind.

Agreed
We've got..... "The Splitty", "The Cali", "The RS", "The Exige", "The Elise", "My Mini", "Your Mini". Just like you, none of them seem bothered!

We have the big van - the Cali and the little van - a Dinky Toy camper van

That's a lot of vehicles! We've got 'the van', & also 'the bikes'. But we do have a little boat (inflatable) which is called 'Notatoy', because my father-in-law (its previous owner) used to say 'It's not a toy!'.

The Splitty, RS and both Mini's are classic cars so tax exempt and classic car insurance, but yes. A "lot of cars". Just as my mother in law constantly reminds me

So one way or another you all give your pride and joy a name

Our daughter (who is now 28!) names all of our cars, as well as her own. She named our Cali “Daisy”. We’ve only had her a week and this photo is our first camping trip.

[Ocean Spirit]

Cornelius Caliwomple the fifth (using Roman numeral V vividly in your mind as it doubles up with van )

 

[Karlos]

Our new Van is delivered (fingers crossed) on Friday ready for 1st, we have called him Lui in memory of my wife's late father. Our last van was called Skippy as the first place we visited in her was Skipton. Denise the first name for your new van could be Simon as Simon Calder the journalist travels a lot.
