We all do it so.... What's the name you have given your Jeep?

I call mine Martha. Traditional, but there's a reason.

What about the rest of you?

Lol.... I've never quite gotten the "naming" of one's vehicle. It just feels contrived.

Now, lots of guys I've wheeled with over the years have nicknamed their rigs, but usually it's more a description of the actual vehicle. I.e. - "the beater,"mall-crawler," "McNuts (due to the color scheme), etc.

Only women call their vehicle a name like it's a person, in my experience.
