Whether you’re dreaming of getting your first Jeep or recently made the big purchase, a looming question on many new Jeep-owner’s minds is: what should I name my Jeep? Naming your Jeep is a momentous decision that’s not taken lightly - it needs to be just right! The naming process turns your new ride into a sidekick and gives it a distinct personality. Thankfully, plenty of Jeep owners have led the way with creative, clever, and fun names that suit their ride perfectly; it’s hard not to be inspired by the Jeep names all around us.
Without further ado, here are some of our top ideas and inspiration for naming your Jeep.
One of our favorite ideas for naming your Jeep revolves around location; whether that be the first place you took your Jeep, your favorite place to take your Jeep, or a location you’ve always dreamed of traveling. If there’s a place that feels like you, that’s a great starting point for naming your Jeep. Think “Blue Ridge,” “Kona,” “Everest,” or “Banff.”
You chose your Jeep’s color for a reason; it resonates with you, whether it’s bold, classic, adventurous, or totally unique. Let the color guide your naming process, whether it’s a sleek black Jeep named “Shadow,” a red Jeep called “Blaze,” or a gray ride named “Storm,” your Jeep’s name can reflect its personality.
Do you have all of the seasons of The Office memorized? Have you been a Star Wars aficionado as long as you can remember? Can you not stop quoting Napoleon Dynamite? TV shows or movies that resonate with you are an incredible place to start when naming your Jeep. Whether it’s “Dwight,” “Vader,” or “Tina,” choosing a name tied to your favorite character or cult classics adds both a personal and relatable touch to your ride.
For those of us who are passionate about off-roading in beautiful places, choosing a nature-inspired name is an absolute must. Think about the landscapes that take your breath away, like towering mountains, beautiful forests, desert canyons, or quiet rivers. A name like “Sierra”, “Red Rock”, “Aspen”, or “Ocean” connects your Jeep to the great outdoors and reminds you why you hit the road in the first place.
An animal-inspired name turns your Jeep into a trusted trail companion. Many Jeep owners choose an animal-inspired name that reflects its capabilities and the kinds of adventures you plan to take it on. Some choose a name that embodies their own characteristics when out on the trails. Think “Fox” if you’re clever and quick on the trails, “Wolf” if you’re a lone adventurer or pack leader, or “Ram” if you love rugged mountain terrain.
What energy do you and your Jeep give off? Are you a bold adventurer? Think “Ranger,” “Trek,” or “Dash.” Are you known for your chill and easy-going demeanor on the road? Think “Drift,” “Sunny,” or “Mellow.” Are you an experienced and confident trail-master? Think “Tank,” “Titan,” or “Compass.” Naming your Jeep with your personality in mind adds a layer of character that gives other Jeep owners a sense of who you are.
You’ve picked the perfect name and can’t wait to start sharing it - what’s next? Many Jeep owners opt for custom decals with their name and a name-inspired design. Online shops like Jeep Graphic Studio offer fully custom graphics that bring your vision to life.
But don’t stop at decals, there are plenty of accessories that can reflect your Jeep’s personality. Think custom seat covers with your choice of fabric and stitching colors, a paintable Wild Door to match your Jeep’s body color, or bold grille inserts in a color and style that speak to your Jeep’s vibe. Every detail adds up to a ride that’s unmistakably yours.
