Naming my new (old) Trailer

[diz_girl]

Well, we've done it. Yesterday our trailer was delivered. We bought a vintage Airstream, a 1967 Safari 22'. I'd love to attach a photo, but I don't know how. It's usable now, but needs some work in order to restore it to it's original condition.

Anyway, it is customary to name a vintage Airstream, so I've been trying to come up with names. I was originally going to give it the name Lucy (after Lucille Ball in the movie the Long, Long Trailer), however it didn't seem right. I wanted to do an old-fashioned name, like Lucy, Fred, Ethel, Louise, or Madge, but nothing felt right.

Well, I was in the car after the trailer was delivered and a name finally came to me that felt right and I was wondering what everyone thought about it. The name that came to mind was (drum roll please)....

Minnie

The funny thing is that before I even bought the trailer I purchased melanine Mickey plates and Minnie bowls from Target that were going to be used in the trailer, so I think that Minnie is it.

Yes, I know that since this is a Disney Website, that you will be a little biased about the name, but what do you think of it?

Sounds like the perfect choice. It fits all your criteria.

Minnie sounds like a great choice, enjoy!

Minnie sounds perfect!!

While I don't have an Airstream, I named my Grand Cherokee Ferdinand (Ferdie, for short) for the gentle bull in the book by the same name. Kind of silly, maybe, but it fits.

'67 Airstream, huh ? Congrats - - that's a great trailer.

We have a 36' fifth wheel. When we were looking over the behemoth at the dealer, I commented "this thing is a moose" and its name was immediately born - - Bullwinkle. (Okay, that's a deer - we don't seem to have a moose smiley.)

The truck we pull it with, therefore, is named Rocky.
