Good names for rovers...

[davidy12]

Yep, it's another name suggestion. I just downloaded Roverdude's rover and I would like some suggestions for the names besides Karibou?

[Xyphos]

Spik3.

IDK Y but "rover" always makes me think "dog"

[The_Rocketeer]

Korolla, Korsa, Katerham, Krysler, Kruiser, Kolt, Kontinental, Kortina, Kestarossa, Korvette, Kougar, Kayenne, Kountach, Kuantum, Wildkat, Viktor, Vankuish, Skamp, Spektra, Maybakh, Mikra.

And my personal favourite:

Kevin.

[AbacusWizard]

I often name spaceplanes after birds, so analogously I often name rovers after land mammals. Skwerl, Wolf, Cheetah, etc.

[LordFjord]

"Won't flip MK I", "Certainly won't flip MK II", ...

(general rover names, not related to RoverDude's awesome creations )

[Haruspex]

"Won't flip MK I", "Certainly won't flip MK II", ...

"Tumbleweed"

[Thomassino]

Kuriosity?

[Sirad]

Flipper ?

[r4pt0r]

Hermes, or Bucephalus.

[RogueNine]

Sirius, perhaps?

[LordFerret]

I have one named "Jeep". lol

[Delrey]

Rover Cleveland

[Lord Aurelius]

Mako or Hammerhead

Or Ricochet (one of my favorite RC cars growing up since it had tank steer and was invertible)

I like "Scarab," principally because I tend to name my designs after Ancient Egyptian themes, but it's also a semi-obscure "Battlestar Galactica" reference.

[Bill Phil]

Roving Vehicle.

It's certainly not wrong, right?

I had a design called the iJeep.

TheMoonRover

But I usually just call mine things like "Duna Rover" or "Minmus Hovercraft" etc.

How about naming them after land animals, for example: the mouse, the kitten (for small rovers), the badger, the wolfhound (for larger ones), the tiger, the rhino (for even bigger ones), or the elephant (for a roving base)

[TheGeekno72]

I called my creation the Nomad ! because if a thing can move it's nomad so...

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

There are some that call me.... Tim?

[Starhawk]

R.O.V.E.R - Reliable Off-road Vehicle for Exploration and Reconnaissance

Happy landings!

[IAbandonedBobInSpace]

I named mine oppritunity to honor the mars rover

[Richy teh space man]

Rovey McRoverface

[Aerodynamic Kerbal]

Hope

[king of nowhere]

After some exceptions in the first part of my career, I now name my rovers based on the similarity with common object. A rover with four "columns" and a flat surface got named Stool, an U-shaped one was dubbed Horseshoe. A plane became Arrowhead.

[Nazalassa]

I commonly name my spaceships after stars and constellations (Arkturus, Sirius, Nova, Eridani...) and rovers and bases after minerals (Ruby, Emerald, Beryllium, Amethyst...), for surface stuff being on ground so I choose things deep underground, and space stuff being in space so I choose things far away in deep space, for symbolic reasons. Thus my surface stuff will stay on ground and my space stuff will go deeper in the cold Universe.

[Misguided Kerbal]

If I can't think of names, I usually go with acronyms such as MMEV, or Munar Multipurpose Exploration Vehicle.

Or you could also name it 'vroom vroom drive machine'
