Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
If you don't practice automotive birth control and end up with 6 babies, then I fully understand the need for some kind of shorthand nomenclature. My problem is that some folks tend to refer to their cars by these cute nicknames without providing the rest of use with the year and model of their beloved Fritz, Gretchen, or Liebchen.

Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
Chris - was that Tschuss supposed to be the platdeutsch word for goodbye?

Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
Once again, I am king of grammatic confusion. I meant not that I was from the north of Germany, but the word Tchüss is from the north, so I better NOT use it in Bavaria. I'm not sure where my German side came from (Schappert, who married Grimms, who married Bugles, etc). They came over in 1902. My wife's side (übersetzig) is from a little south of Köln...the region around Badorf, including the small town of übersetzig (imagine that! it's near Dattenfeld). This is in Nordrhein-Westhphalen. Engelbert came in the 1850's. McCann is a total anomaly, my father is McCann, his father is McCann and his father is ??. My grandfather took his name from his mother. Don't know if it was rape or messing around or what, who knows...so Not only am I barely Irish at all, it isn't even my real name. Kind of annoying, but I don't lose sleep over it.

Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
Hammer is an antropomorphism...sounds more like toolpomorphism. I'm not. It's traditional to name machines of all types becuase, although not human, they take on what could be called a personality or temperment...they have quirks, you can predict their behavior in certain circumstances and there is definitely a bond that develops between a man and a machine that serves him well. It doesn't mean you think of your car as a person...which is something MANY pet owners do. Have yet to see that in a car owner.

Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
Sometimes naming a vehicle is more than just fun -- it has actually become necessary. Since I am a person through whose life has passed a great number of needful things--most of them vehicular of some sort, I have become a steady customer on a first-name basis at the motor vehicle registrar's desk, the insurance agent's office and the NAPA parts store counter naming just a few. In order to accurately refer to each of these possessions efficiently, my wife and I must use the names we have developed based on the most quirky characteristics of the vehicle in question. And since once I have acquired any random needful thing, rarely will it have to worry about ever being sold -- I just line them up and use them for parts to keep something else alive. So for some of us at least it is much more than a silly anthropomorphism --it is a way of life. So there..

I don't know. I believe more in the Indian method of naming. If/when a name leaps into your head great, otherwise it's whatever. So the little Indian boy (er, pre-European-invader indigenous small human male) asks his mother how boys get their names. She says, well, for example when your oldest brother was born, I looked out the teepee and first thing I saw was an eagle flying in the sky so I named him Flying Eagle. And when your other brother was born I looked out and saw a deer running by, so I named him Running Deer. Why do you ask this question Two Dogs F...? [OK, so it could be viewed as being in poor taste, and I do sincerely apologize for that, well actually not the poor taste part but if anyone is offended by the implied name of the pre-European-invader small male human, which relies on a word many find crass and impolite but a lot of everyone uses it anyway, but it is kinda funny in a warped way.] --R

Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
Actually, there is a connection. When Emil Jellinek first started selling Daimlers in France, he insisted on changing the name as the French would not like a German named car. Although a Jew, he was fascinated by all things Spanish (AND was a diplomat of the Catholic King of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to France...he died in a French prison during or shortly after WWI) and named the car after his daughter Mercedes, whose full name was Nuestra Senora de la Mercedes - A Catholic devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the Title of Our Lady of Mercy. In Hugary, he sold Daimlers under the name Maja - his other daughter. So Catholic girls named Mercedes, have the Virgin Mary as their patron saint, as do our cars...including St. Frances of Rome (patron saint of cars) and St. Christopher (patron saint of drivers). There is alot in a name. Unfortunately, by all accounts, Emil Jellinek (although brilliant) was a real SOB in the personality department. His daughter Mercedes died in poverty. The MB Collections catalog sells a doll of her, which OF COURSE (ATTN: LT DON) my daughter MUST have. We'll see.

Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
I've had 3 300D's and a 300CD which were all named. The first 1978 300D was gretchen (just one that came to mind as was the second 300D, a 77, Frieda. The third 300D, also a 78, got the name Ingrid. The 300CD got the name Vinnie as my sisters were coaxing it up the Grapevine coming from SoCal to Oregon (vin diesel). It was creeping up that hill at 50MPH in true 617.912 fashion, slow and steady.

Re: [MBZ] I've got a long drive PLUS I need a name
Mercedes had become a common German name, but it is not strictly Lutheran. My Gramma's cousin (German Catholic) was named Mercedes. I don't think it is popular any more. But the origin remains the same...the devotion to Our Lady of Mercy pre-dates Lutheranism...it's medieval. Probably popularized by the Mercedenarians - a Catholic order of monks that would exchange themselves to the Muslims for the release of Christian prisoners (during the Crusade era). Kind of like Christopher it means Christ-bearer but lots of athiests/agnostics (like my parents) name their kids Christopher just becuase they like the name, it has just entered the culture. Just putting my 2 cents in, not requiring anyone to believe in patron saints. :-) Chris P.S. Back to Jellinek - Would like to know why he was imprisoned. He was a diplomat of an enemy nation, but you don't normally imprison diplomats...they normally are withdrawn, I think. I wonder if he was accused of spying.
