I still appreciated the suggestion
That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure

Here's some more random red based ideas...
Rudolph
Elmo
Clifford
Manhattan (from maraschino cherries)
Alto (stop signs, then it also has nice musical connotations)

I offer Cracklin' Rose.
I remember the tune. But wasn't it "Cracklin' Rosie"? How about Rosie? Or the name of a red wine, like Merlot, Cabernet, Chianti, Pinot, Shiraz. You could have a logo, a Chianti bottle with the car on the label. The possibilities are endless. (I haven't named mine either).

Not to hijack or get off topic, but Rufus is a great name. My red-nosed pit is named Rufus and he LOVES riding in the DVL. He loved the Princess Grace, too, although she is gone now and the photo doesn't show his excitement (see gallery).

He would be honored to share the name with you and no, you don't have to let him ride.

Scotch Bonnet peppers are found in the Carribean and named for its resemblance to a Scotsman's bonnet-ties it back to the UK, a variety of Habanero (also the name of my favorite restaurant at a resort near Negril, Jamaica). It's what gives Jerk sauce its flavor. So scotch or bonnie could be nicknames

I like Roja too!

Clifford is fabulous! The big red dog. heh. Perfect (imo)!

On this topic - how do you know what names have already been "taken?" I don't want to step on anyone's toes. Obviously we can look in people's signatures, but wondered if there was a listing somewhere?

You can search the forums for a name and see what pops up. (search button at the top of the page on the toolbar).

My MINI (a.k.a. the MINI with no name ) is still nameless after 2-1/2 years but it doesn't feel unloved
