    Wow. Some real creative brains here.

    No, I'm just dull and thoughtless. Bikes are referred to their model name. I do name databases though....at work. Is a serious marketing matter. Seriously.

    I call my Felt road bike 'the Brat' because it gave me a few problems when I first got it (went to shift to the small chain ring and the chain came right off and got caught in the frame...almost took a nasty spill). Just got a new mountain bike but it doesn't have a name just yet.

    This is easy!

    I have a brand new Specialized Myka FSR Comp Full Suspension Mountain Bike
    and a
    brand new Specialized Dolce Comp Road Bike.

    Mountain Bike's name is "Myka" - means "Beautiful Girl"
    and
    Road Bike's name is "Dolce" - means "Gentle and Sweet"

    Those are their names and they are both so awesome and gorgeous!!

    I haven't named my new purple Luna yet but one of my riding buddies refers to her as "Barney". I think he's just trying to get under my skin.

    My road bike's name is Zippy Beckenheim.

    On my first ride after riding exclusively mountain bike for probably 15 years was, "Wow, it's zippy!"

    The last name... no idea where that came from. Someone had asked months ago if I named my bike and Zippy Beckenheim is what came out of my mouth.

    She deserve a way better name than Barney! I can't think of a fitting name but that bike is no Barney.

    I had a parakeet named BeBe but I pronounced it BB, he was a birthday gift so BB= birthday bird. Your post made me think of my pretty little buddy.

    I named my husband's bikes for him:

    The Cannondale (his roadie). I also have a Cannondale but since his took the name I call mine Miranda.

    The Stumpy or just Stumpy. His Specialized Stumpjumper FSR.

    Jake or The Kona. His Kona Jake Cyclocross bike.

    When talking about my bikes to people I call them "my Cannondale", "the Fisher" or "my hardtail". Like they will just follow along with that.

    Ole Clemmy...

    I've only named my fixed gear Peugeot mixte. She's Clementine. My sassy, purple little beaut. I have yet to find names for my roadie and mtn bike.

    My road bike seems all business to me and my mtn bike and I need to see a relationship counselor since we don't get along as well.
