Our client is building a truck and would like to name it - is this normal and should it be a female name "Jane

Answer 1

Yes, it is normal and yes it should be a female name. It should, however, be a two or three syllable name such as Clarice or Kimberly. That will make it stick in people's minds better.

Answer 2

I think perhaps 'Jane' is a little too staid for a truck - I'd go with the Kimberly suggestion above!

And the naming conventions of many Western nations suggest that a truck should mosty definitely be female - countries, towns, ships, boats, ferries and trucks are generally referred to in the feminine - to a sailor, the sea and the ship he sails in are invariably 'she'.

My car's called Tink, she's a girl...

;)

Answer 3

of course it is normal to name a truck. Just look at Eddie Stobarts lorries...they all have womens names on the front

Answer 4

Yes name it.
Eddie Stobarts lorries are named, sometimes with two names on them. If I had one I would name it after my Daughter 'Lady Celtic' (pronounced with a K)

Answer 5

That is a lovely name, and quite appropriate for a truck.

Yes it is a female name.

Answer 6

yes, i think its a great idea, everything else is named: like The Titanic i'm sure she was a female, and my red car is named Ruby.

Answer 7

If its a garbage truck it should be called Jade Goody

Answer 8

Why not- my cars called Betty the Banger
