Every good vehicle has a name. I started searching for a name while I was still in the buying process. My Black Diamond is named SAM.
This is why...
I looked up the name of the Bond villain from "Live and let die" and found that his name was Baron Samedi (Geoffrey Holder from the 7-up uncola commercials).
The villain was named after the voodoo loa of the dead. When I read this from Wikipedia, it was final.
"Samedi is a loa of the dead, along with Baron's numerous other incarnations Baron Cimetière, Baron La Croix, and Baron Kriminel. He is usually depicted with a white top hat, black tuxedo"
Black Diamond with white top.
The name SAM also fits with a fishing joke that a friend and I share.
It's kinda weird but the fishing joke, Bond villain and color description all fit.
I've seen some others refer to their rides by name (9-ball, brick house)

Whats yours and how did you come by it?
Francis Jean
My brother in law and I name our motorcycles. His was Kevin Kawasaki, and mine is Vincent Vegas. (It's a Victory Vegas named after the John Travolta character in Pulp Fiction) Well now my b-i-L has a Suzuki so his bike is Simon Suzuki. I still have the Vegas. He calls his Mitsubishi suv "Marty Mitsubishi" So naturally I needed an FJ name....Hence, Francis Jean.

After first buying my truck I struggled with a name. I've always named every vehicle I've ever owned. Some took only a second whilst others I've had to get to know over time. Within six months of obtaining my rig I felt that it was a 'he' for a change and he went through a pretty aggressive transformation in that short of time. Everytime somebody commented on my rig and it's ever changing apperance (including my wife) I remember hearing on more than one occasion how "It looks like it's mean" and "it looks like a big bully" stepping back to look at him while laughing and not taking it personal, it came. The name.... 'BRUTUS'
