Names for buses! Yep, I'm going to need a new name for my new bus!

My 1972 Westy (off-road) is named Prospector because the previous owner was a real prospector and used this bus for prospecting trips. (This one is still for sale...)

My 1973 Westy is named Georg (gay-org) because the previous owner had already named him George and/or Georgie and I just made it more Germanic (and I like the movie "Sound of Music").

My new 1966 microbus camper (with the blown engine) we are just calling "Red" because it is red on the bottom (sort of) and white/cream/grey on top. After seeing the movie 'Wyatt Earp' the other day I suggested to Janice that we name it "Festus" (I guess I had Wyatt Earp confused with Matt Dillon) or "Doc Holiday" but she didn't like those names...

This bus might do with a feminine name, she seems a little different from the others. So? Suggestions? German girl's names?

-Dyer

P.S. I hope to have Red ready for the *Tremendous Transporter Trek* next spring/summer/fall :-)
