You know, a picture stimulates creativity. i.e. I don't care much for either of your names but possibly a picture or sketch of what you have in mind or even a description of your td might provide a fit.

A number of tears have a theme which is carried through in decorating. I/we chose Compass Rose and Nancy did a compass rose pattern quilt and I had a Logo and graphics made for CR. I wanted some symbolism in our desire to journey.

Naming is to me important as it symbolizes something.

you start your build and the name will come when you aren't planing on it but it will come.

I named Charley for the engineer who built the Wright Brothers engine for the first flight; Charles Taylor. I wanted something that was aviation related. Wife said I had to femanize it to make it a proper build.

Teardrop names just come out of nowhere. I spent 1/2 my time sketching, revising and finally designing my little 8 foot woody, and since my name is Nelson, I decided to call it the 1/2 Nelson Woody. No, I never was a wrestler either.

We call our first trailer "trailer 1."

We haven't named the second trailer yet.

I vote for Hillbilly Delux . The best teardrop name I ever saw was "The Gas Chamber" Cliff thought it up but his wife said no way.

The Gas Chamber is a funny name!! But Hillbilly DeLuxe would be a good name too...

But work on the build and it will name itself...hey, maybe that's why mine doesn't really have a name..it was factory built!

Good luck...with the build and the name!!

I just had a thought about your name conundrum . There are lots of naming sites on the net. They will give you thousands of ideas. Just google race horse names, or boat names. That helped us. Good luck.

I'm with you on this one! Twelve years of traveling in a teardrop & it never crossed our minds to give it a name. Works for us! :)

I've got a name for a teardrop.....but I don't have a teardrop :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe I'll get a teardrop after my sister retires to FL and I sell the SideKick. We'll see in the next couple of years.
