Am I the only one that names his trucks?

I was just talking about my 78 C-10 Fred on another post when someone asked me about naming my truck Fred. Well being honest my wife named Fred. From the movie cars, all rusty and parts falling off. Well that is my Fred. But I have always let my cars and trucks name themselves. So I was wondering if I was the only one to do this. If not what are some of your truck names? How did you pick it?

2002 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab V-8 - Little **** Red
1997 Dodge Ram Extend Cab 360 - Linda
1978 Chevy C-10, 350, Flatbed - Flatbed Fred (Fred)
1972 Chevy Luv - Squirt
1977 GMC 4X4 half ton - Boomer
1991 S-10 Chevy - Tremors (after it was hit while my wife was at work)
1987 Chevy S-10 - Mona

And I have had many cars by many different names from Thelma to Babe the Blue Ox.

Rodney fan yes, but the song has no bearing on my truck.....LOL
I am glad to see I am not the only one who names his ride. To me it is kinda like a horse I guess.
