Eddy. I think it would be silly to give it another name.

Agreed. It's a bike, dude. If you want to name something, go buy a goldfish. Or knock up your girlfriend.

i do not name my bikes. every piece of paraphernalia i own has a name, but i can't say i chose them, they came to each piece.
mine is named "my beyonce" it was named that by a cop who either "a" couldn't write, or "b" couldn't read.
I was unconscious and taken to a e.r. on christmas eve after crashing my bike.
I got a police report from the cops that says
"left his beyonce with hospital security."

Named because of the scene in the Life Aquatic when Jeff Goldblum hits the dog.

Subdural hematoma is cool. I don't think of my bike as a person. But, my friend and sidekick.

Aww. :love:
Hm. I don't name my bike. But recently my female friends have been calling it the "cherry popper" since I have this rock hard seat that every time someone borrows my bike, they end up in pain. Just thought it was funny...

Diversity. It was an old old wooden ship.
I actually don't have a name for it, but I have joked around and called it that before.

I wanted to characterize and add my own touch to my Surly by scrapping away some letters from "CROSSCHECK" to make the word "ROCHE" which means "Rock." In doing so I named the bike "Green Rock Monster" since there are hints of green in the setup and it has a monster load of options along with probably being a bit ugly as well (but I think it's a beauty ;))

well, thanks. but it's not cool when you suddenly awake in the hospital bed and cannot remember what happened the past five weeks. that's what subdural hematomas are all about...
