Default how'd your jeep get its name?

ok, I've often wondered how folks come up with names for their jeeps? so my question is.

" how did your jeep get its name? "

and has anyone seen that show "my strange obsession with the guy that gets intimate with his car? Thats just crazy.. I told my wife im going to go rub my jeeps transfercase and she said she would burn it to the ground .. NO IM NOT INTIMATE WITH MY JEEP! BUT I LOVE IT

so.. back on topic, lets hear it?!

Mine had three names. Got them from Jeep/Chrysler. They were.. Jeep, XJ, Cherokee.. Or some combo of those three.

I named mine "Jay". Thought I'd simplify the word "Jeep" by using the first letter "J" and spelling it out.

Mine doesn't have a name. It's a car... not a person.
