Love this thread-- naming bikes must be a girl thing.

LBTC - love the Brady Bunch idea-- especially since your hubby would have the other three-- so you would officially be the Brady riders.

BikerMamma- in case you were curious, Flicka means girl in Swedish!

Love this thread-- naming bikes must be a girl thing.

Actually, no. My hubby is the bike namer. Eric (the Red), Rosebud, Sonya (Warrior Princess), Mathilda (because she waltzes), etc. Though I did come up with Binky (the pale horse who rides through anything - you Terry Prachett fans will get this one).

I thought that too until I took the Hornet in after his first time playing in the sandbox and bless his heart, my LBS guy said he'd take good care of her. I said no actually this one is a He and the LBS guy apologized to Hornet for calling him a she!! *sigh - just breaks my heart he's married *

I'll take bike names for 50, Alex.

For a steed so faithful and so majestic as your Cannondale, I'd skip the "naming after" to avoid giving her "performance anxiety". Instead I'd name her for a fine breed of famous whites.

Name her Lipizzaner... you can use "Zany" as an affectionate call name.

In doing a search for other white horses, lookie what I found....isn't he a beaut? My heart does a flutter-thing for these Arabians.... but I've always admired the Lippizaners, as well. I saw them in Fresno when I was a kid. Hmmm...maybe I can find an individual Lippizaner sire/dam as a namesake??? Good idea, Spazz, I like it! Zany's a good name, and somewhat describes my personality, as well. I'll let ya know what name I finally choose. I can see this may be a hard decision.

Sulis -- I remember now that I heard that about the Flicka name. Makes it fit even better!

Thought you might like the idea BikeMama.

That is a beatiful animal! God I love horses!!

Famous Lippizaners, hmmmmm!

Here's a link to some history of the breed; very interesting...

General Lees' horse was very well known - a white horse named "Traveller"!

[nuthatch]

Oooo! I like 'traveller'!

Do you know the names of any blue horses? I need a name for my new bike, too.

[SadieKate]

I had a blue poodle that I rescued from show-dom. We went fishing instead. His registered name was Prince Hubba Bubba.

Sorry the pic is so grainy; it is pre-digicam days.

[CorsairMac]

the only thing I could think of was Pokey - but I think he was orange! Gosh hun - I don't know any blue horses, most of the horses I know are really happy!

Corsair "can ya tell I rode at lunch again today?" Mac

[MomOnBike]

I knew a blue roan once, but durned if I can remember the name. Probably something really inspired like "Pete."

No help here.

OK, I lost count at one point of how many times I reread this book as a child. But for a white bike, Merrylegs won't work - he was a dapple gray!
I had (have) a bike named Silver. It's a good name!

[nuthatch]

So many good names! Thanks for the picture Sadie. What a wonderful life for a dog! I'm going to have to think hard about this.....
