MB Names?
 

So, who all names their trusty ol' MBs, and what are they? I'd love to hear the names and the reasons behind them.

I personally haven't named mine yet, but I'm thinking about it. There's just something about these old diesels that makes me want to name them. They seem to have more personality than other cars, I guess.

Anyway, post away! Hopefully I'll get inspired and come up with a name for mine.

Baby
 

is what I call my blue 1985 300SD.........
Baby blue to me.
My baby.

Just in case anybody is wondering...... "Mercedes" was named for Frenchman's daughter.

When DBAG (Daimler Benz Auto Group) first got started, their success relied heavily upon ONE distribution source in France which sold practically all of the cars that they produced, single-handedly keeping the car company afloat.

When the auto company asked what they could do to show their gratitude, the Frenchman replied: "Please include my daughter's name in your product."

Mock Turtle.

I think it used to be a real turtle.

I am still trying to think up a fitting name for her.

We call her The Tootsie Roll, for obvious reasons....even my friends and family use the name...it's hilarious...

My mechanic and his wife call me Mr. Roll.....:p :p

I actually named mine a couple of days ago. I named him Otto. I dont really know why, he just seemed like an Otto to me??????? Oh well who knows?
Oh Otto is an 83 300sd that is dark blue, with 202,xxx miles.

"My Bi*ch"
 

She does what I want, when I want it done (With some groaning and griping at times).

I don't know how many people would choose a name like this, but I did.

Because my first thought after a few days with this car was that she will eventually hurt me, one way or another.

Mercedes French? I think not.
 

"Mercedes" was name of a car designed in about 1900 by Wilhelm Maybach for Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. It was named after his daughter. Thankfully, the French had little to do with it.

My '82 Grey SD is called "The Grey Ghost" and my '86 SDL is referred to as "D2" either for daily driver 2 or diesel 2

87 300SDL is named 'moby'... the white whale of course.
85 300D is still waiting for an appropriate name, though greenie is getting close. My wife thinks it looks green, even though it is anthricite grey.
my 87 volvo 240 wagon was called the band aid- for the color.

Yeah, I'm leaning close to naming mine "Kermit." You know, it's not easy being green...

240D - Perfesser Leaky
E300 - Big Smokey
TDI - Lil Smokey

Misspellings are deliberate. ;)
