Our eggs former owner had mentioned the popular British Scifi show "Dr. Who" when we picked him up and from then on it was known as the TARDIS.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Robin, you're not going to believe this: but the HUBBY came up with this just today! And you just know when it's right!

PERRIS BUELLER

Pretty far from girly----but sooooooo us! The poster from the Ferris Bueller movie reads: Leisure Rules and One Man's Struggle to Take it Easy I love the movie and I love this name!

For those of you still pondering a name, here are some ideas:

Lil' Latte, EggSpresso, Sir Gallivant (means: to wander in search of pleasure), RambleEgg (means: to move about at random over large spaces and a play on Scramble egg), Egg van der Drift

My work here is done---I'll hush now!!

I would love to have a name in foreign language that means journey. But so far I have struck out finding it.
If you are not familiar with foreign languages, you can make embarrassing mistakes. Nuance, connotation, denotation and grammar can all trip you. You don't want call your trailer "Bite the Wax Tadpole." To see people who have done this from their language to English, see http://engrishfunny.com/ .

Make sure that you connect with a native speaker - don't trust internet translations.

My girl friend is a full blooded Cree it was her father that named it "moniyaw wâwi" when I told him the Boler was somtimes called an egg camper, we all had a good laugh.

Trailer: 2001 13 ft Scamp / 1993 Jeep Cherokee
Posts: 1,293
From the day my little 13 footer was delivered to my home I've always seen it as a Marshmallow. So, I put a license plate holder on it that says "My Little Marshmallow".

One day my little Nephew said that I should name my Scamp. I told him I'm not in the habit of naming my vehicles but he could if he liked. Only one condition, it had to be something that would go with the My Little Marshmallow.

He came up with "Puff" as marshmallows are puffy. So Puff it was. I immediately ordered decals and placed them front and rear on the Scamp. My Nephew was so pleased and to this day just bursts with joy when I visit. He still takes his friends out to show them "his" Puff.

Hi Vickie - we do not envy you those Nebraska winters! Cold & snow are why we fled the Nevada high desert country and are 'nested' for the winter in Quartzsite, AZ - sunshine, scenery, music, fine friends! Yep, snow-birds rock! Regards, L 'n D

That is exactly how it goes: You just know when you found the right name!!! Perris Bueller is a nice one.

Puff makes sense, as those eggs really look like over-sized marshmallows, hihi! Nice ideas are coming up here, love it!!

Apparently Paris Hilton had a public melt down when security did not let all her Halloween party guests in....

Our Scamp is called Eggbert and our motto (on the spare tire cover) is Traveling Light. although anyone who sees us unpacking the van when we arrive would probably question how "light" we are really traveling! LOL The motto is partly because of the trailer's weight & also because it is decorated in a lighthouse theme.

Well it's offical the name of new Trillium is Fluffer-Nugget.
My young boys giggled with laughter when they heard it so it must be right!
Might help that the trailer is green and kinda has a booger-esk look to it....no offence to anyone, I love the green colour and was really happy when we found a green one to buy.

Hi Ho Fluffer-Nugget!

Trailer: 13 ft Boler ( 3 trailers 71/ 72/ 73)
Posts: 28
I have bought a few Bolers, one for me and one each for my kids. So seen as I shelled out the coin and am such a nice mom sharing. I took the liberty of naming them. The first I bought is a 72 and she`s mine and her name is DRAGON And shes green and will have a dragon on her front window guard some day. Then came the 73 and he came from Jasper Alberta so thats his name, just JASPER that is. As you might have noticed by now they also sexed. Now for the newest addition, turns out he belonged to two generations of Elliots so ELLIOT it is. Ok maybe I take it a bit far but The Dragon has a dragon mascot named Scorch (yes he`s a Beenie Baby) who gets his picture taken everywhere we go. Now that we all have our Bolers, you`d think I'd quit looking in every field and yard site I see. But it doesn't seem to be happening though
