Mine is "Hurley" because I bought it shortly after watching the episode of LOST where Hurley gets the bus running. _________________ "I am convinced that [nothing] in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

My '78 Bay Window is named the Imperial Transport. I bought my bus recently to transport my full sized R2-D2 around among other things. Also I call this temp carport "The bus barn".

Ok I really want to see R2D2 in the back of the bus. Even better if he had his claw arm in the engine hatch adjusting something to fix the hyper drive _________________ 1979 Westfalia "FireFly" Subaru 2.2 with Subaru gears 5spd.

The Mexican '75 Single Cab I had initially named "Arándano", which is Spanish for "blueberry", since it's blue:
But there's a problem: Its original color is light gray (L345), and it will be returned to that color. At that point, "Arándano" makes no sense. So, I'm thinking maybe "El Raton" (The Mouse)...? Still undecided.
The 1973 Wild Westerner is Jelly Bean, because it has the colors of jelly beans:
And there is Ann the Van, a 1972 Sportsmobile named after its previous (and original) owner, Ann, and because "Van" rhymes with "Ann" (Don't judge me!):
And finally, BlueBird, also since it is blue (Neptune Blue, to be exact):
Other names I have given are
Cassandra, named after its previous owner
Number 9, since its VIN is 2332000009 (number 9 off the production line for the 1973 model year)
Ko'och'it Wa'sti'ch, which translates to YellowBird (story behind that is earlier in this thread somewhere)
Then there were Y2 and Y3, which followed YellowBird and were the same color Westies).
Snickers, a lovely original paint two-tone brown '79 Transporter, looked like a big candy bar.
And AZA, since I had registered it with a year-of-manufacture sample license plate, AZA 000. _________________ John
