"Quahog" is born

In deciding what to name the newest addition to the fiberglass family, I have scoured Native American names. I found 2 that are related the the fiberglass shell our trailers are made of. Leyati which means Abalone shell and Quahog which translates to the clam shell. I think Quahog sounds more like a trailer name, anyone have any other suggestions/ideas, or do you like the name Quahog? Thanks for responding.

Quahog, sounds good to me.

The name hasn't been over used and the clam shell sounds appropriate in one sense. We put "Thisldo" on our 17' SD less than a week after owning it. May yet give it a nick name.... "little john" or "O johnny" its good to know you're there...

If you go to the grocery store here in northern New England you find Quahog clams from Maine, sometimes called hard shell clams. They make good chowder.

That is why I picked the name, don't our f/g trailers seem like clams?

Quahog sounds like something a Razorbacks fan would like...... I don't care for it personally, but it's your trailer.
