Name the Tractor Contest

Posted in Blogging Frog

We like to name our vehicles (and appliances, and everything else).  The cute little guy pictured in the post below needs a name.  Please comment and submit your best suggestions.  If we choose your name, you'll get a prize!

 

Here's the prize:

Child's Book of Art

Child's Book of Art


I accidently purchased duplicates of this book, so I can give one away!  Submit as many suggestions as you wish.  If we name our tractor the name you suggest, you win!  Just be sure to give me some way to contact you.  (Link to your blog or send an email.)

(Editing to add the contest deadline: Friday afternoon; lets say 4:00 pm MST.)

Oh goodie!!! I love naming tractors, laptops, and various other things...


My first thought was Freddie. Then I thought maybe your sister would be offended so I kept thinking.

Paddy was next. After all, he's green like a leprechaun and it is March after all.

I think Brett fits because Mary would be proud.

Gunnar works. Kind of like what you have to do to get er' goin'!

Then there's...


Fritz
Kermit (he's green, a frog, and well, you like those K names)


I'll be back if i think of more... I like naming tractors! This is fun!

I think he looks like a "Hardy," or if a female, "Tracy the Tractor." How wonderful to have enough land to need a tractor!
I always enjoy your blog so much, Dell. Thanks!
Blessings,

Posted by StacyinAR
What about Johnny? or JD? That is a few of the names my boys use to refer to their tractors. The All About John Deere DVDs even have a few songs to go along with those names.

When tractors go to new homes, do they leave Deere John letters?

"Cooter"... or maybe "Kooter", in keeping with the "k" theme!
Adorable vehicle, by the way.

How about "Sprout"... the Jolly Green Giant's little guy. Or "Jolly Green Giant", for that matter!

"Spud"? Good ol' "Henry"? "Frank"? "Tater"?

How fun!

I asked my crew, here are their guesses...

Rocklin- Grampa Greenie
Jerald- The Green Deer
Magdalyn- The Green frog

I called Aaron over and said, "what should that Tractor be called?" He smiled and replied with "Mine"

okay, hmm, how about Leap? Tad? Tony? Lil' Green Machine? I know, how about a "D" since you have all those K's around the prairie...Dave? Duncan? Dredge?

We just named our call but I don't think that name will fit the tractor.

Green Machine
Growing Green
Grover

That is all I can think of now.

I looked at your tractor and it's name should be Kerby. It just fits.
My name is Deena

Hi! The children want it to be named Terence, after the tractor who is friends with Thomas the train.

While I think that's a good name, the perfect name is achieved by using an alternate spelling. "Terrance" has "terra" in it, meaning earth--which is, after all, your little tractor's main interest.

Also, the worship of the roman goddess Terra Mater (Mother Earth) involved cows. And I *love* the cow-like tractors in the movie "Cars"--the main character goes tractor-tipping with his backwoods friend, and it is *hilarious*!

Frogger! (Remember the arcade game from the 80's?)

Yep. If that was my tractor I'd name him Frogger. No idea where I'd put him, but that's what I'd call him. :-)

I LOVE sewingfanatic's suggestion of Kermit (and her Deere John joke! I literally LOL'd!).

I also liked (can't remember who suggested it) Kerby.

My suggestion: Mater... kind like Ta'mater, but without the Ta! LOL!
