Help name my guitars!!

[Philly Q]

I was thinking Victory, but you've got that one already.  How about Viceroy or Viscount?

[WezV]

I think i am narrowing it down, i am aquite liking these

Vision
Venus
Vendetta
Vixen
Volcano
Varelle
Voodoo
Vortex
Veteran
Variant
Victory
Valour
verse
veloce
velocette
vega
vanguard
vagabond
Villain
Voice

I quite like ones that make some kind of gramatical sense when put with my name -   the 'Wez Venables Victory' sounds fairly impressive to me!!

Thats also why i ignoring things like violator or the obvious rude one

[noodleplugerine]

Don't think Victory quite works tbh, more the name of an event than an instrument :s

"I've just bought a Victory"

I actually really like Vega and Vanguard :o

[WezV]

Yeah, vega is growing on me - although it makes me think of a 60's danelectro kind of guitar.  Maybe if i do a suitably retro model that will be a good name for it.

I still like victory - but its the kind of name that needs to be saved for something really special!!

[Ratrod]

Be carefull, some of these names are taken.

vixen  (Gibson)

vermont (somekind of archtop)

Venus (Fender)

Vendetta (Dean)

Virgin (BC Rich)

Volcano (Reverend)

My first thought when I read 'Vega' was of the dude with the claws in Street Fighter 2

i know some are taken but i figure i am ok as long as i am not making copies of the guitars that already have that name - dodgy ground maybe.  A wez venables Vendetta will not look anything like a dean vendetta and the name seems too cool to pass on!  Especially since it was the 'V for Vendetta' comics and film that gave me this idea

If you look at my first message i have a picture of a blue guitar with 'not viper' written under it because it does share similar characteristics with a ESP viper in that its an ofset SG kind of thing - although its still quite different to the ESP

Good point, and of course there was the Gibson Victory series too:

[Machek]

May I suggest a small pool of french word:
Volontaire
Vivienne
Vivante
Vilain
Volage
Vaillante

More later

DUDE! i've never seen that before - looks awesome!

[plastercaster]

How about the wez venables ?

[WezV]

where did you get that picture of me?

I am trying not to go with overly metal sounding names!

I used to have an epiphone victory bass - awfull thing!  but i think i could use victory as a name for one of my guitars because its a fairly common word at the end of the day - its not the same as calling my guitars stratocasters is it. I will not be stealing somebody elses made up words in an effort to fool people into thinking my guitars are something else.

I am also aware velocette is taken by a trace eliot amp and an old motorbike but i still think i will have to use that one at some point

[Sailor Charon]

How about...
Valkyrie (sp?)
or, going off at a Dragonball Z tangent, Vegeta?

[deg0ey]

OR! Sticking with the Vegeta thing, you could combine it with your name to have the "Wez Vegeta-bles" :P

[WezV]

OMG - i cant believe someone actually went and said it.   I spent my whole childhood being called vegetables only to end up working at a bloody school and get it starting all over again.

Worse thing is every single bloody kid that says it thinks they are being original and truly funny - my grandad got exaclty the same thing all his life!!

I actually praise the kids for new, original and funny names they can come up with.  my favorites so far are Mr Crazy Horse, Mr Menopause and Mr Vanilla balls - all ones i have actually responded to when the kids have said them quickly, oh how we laughed :P
