Kombi names

Loads of people out there have given their busses a name. So how did the name for yours come about?

Being a ginger myself, when I ordered mine from Danbury it had to be Orange. I never had any intention of giving mine a name but as time went on the name Ginger started to crop up. Eventually it stuck and that's how she got her name.

We had a red and white MINI in the household when our Kombi moved in so the terms Min and Max were bandied about - despite the fact our MINI was called Austin - and our Kombi ended up being called Max.

Snail Trail gave Eva her name and we decided to keep it when we purchased her.

Scooby was named by the better half of the team
It was after her favourite cartoon character and was part of the pact in buying a BraziBay
Rooby Roo

We chose our camper as she was good value, low mileage, water cooled but not really the colour of our dreams. Conker brown with ginger biscuit coloured seats......very sensible. So we decided to vamp her up with leopard skin trim and she took on a whole new personna.... We called her Magda to represent her german heritage, full name Magda de Santos to represent her brazilian side.

Recently had a real live Magda call round to the house and she was thrilled with her namesake as she had always wanted a camper.

'Mish', short for 'the commisioner' , bought with some of my pension when I retired from the 'Met'.

Madge.

Mrs Haddock and myself have always been big fans of Dame Edna Everage and I plucked the name in honour of Madge Allsop - her long suffering companion. In truth I would, if it had been totally my decision, have gone for Pele but Mrs H insisted the van was of the fairer sex.

we calles our kombi : gelatti
the name ist from my collegs from my work. they called it at the first time i have the car.

Tallulah - after a character in a children's tv programme, the patchwork elephant from Driver Dan's Story Train. The programme came on during the family discussion about naming our van. The decision was unanimous.

Bessy Blue - cos she's blue and both Bessy and Betty worked well with Blue, but I had already told my little boy that the little lady who spoke the directions and lived in my sat nav was called Betty so Bessy it had to be!.

Albert is the name I was always going to give my victorian ventriloquist dummy when I find him that is!

On that basis Paul, somewhere here we must have an Orville!

"Dennis", Dennis the dub. Tim

Absinthe:- cos she's the Green Fairy; intoxicating and liable to drive you mad at times.

Graham after graham norton because he's a CAMPer van

LILY because green and white and they are my lovely wifes favourite flower.

Ours is called Phileas as in Phileas Fog around the world in eighty days because it takes that long to get anywhere.

Blue Seagull because she's blue and can fly along. We also hoped it would help keep the grey and white seagulls from c***ing on her. It didn't.
