I call mine "Babe" (like in Paul Bunyan). I was teased at first that my RK was too big for me. When I first jumped on it, I thought well maybe they are right this thing is as heavy as an ox (and it is blue).
If you not bored reading yet, there is a funny story to go with that name before I even bought the bike. My son was 3 when my daughter was born and had the experience of learning how Mom feeds the baby. You should have seen his face! "She is going to feed Mia (his sister) with your bubs"? He called them "bubs" for the longest time .
Well....I have BUB7 slip-ons. So......I like to tell the wife I bought bubs for my babe and I want to ride her all day long

All of mine have had names. My current girl is Lucy. You cant just pick a name for a bike randomly. After you get to know her a bit the name will come to you. Crazy i guess but thats my experience.

My RKC is still nameless, but I've named my new to me Deluxe "Woody" since the tins are painted to look like wood grain. That and the fact I get a "woody" just looking at her!
