Naming
Ours is named Happy Draggin'
Red & Black RV7. Can't figure out how to get my picture inserted.
Flying her sure makes us happy. Of course she drags the steering wheel in back.

"Little Bird" Is what's affixed to the tail, but I never refer to it as anything other than my "RV" or "The four"

Sweet Baby
I have named my project (soon to be an 8A) after my soulmate and muse, Sweet Baby. Pinup nose art will complete the picture.
However, I did not stop there. Since I plan on flying Sweet Baby around the world, I have named her engine Constance (it?s aspirational).

They said...
They said,"Building an airplane is a journey."
I respectfully pronounce that as a massive understatement. In my experience it is nothing less than a pilgrimage. I'm in the doesn't-name-things camp, but in this case an exception is mandatory. If I ever get it finished it shall be known as Pilgrim.

My Baby
My wife's maiden name is Beebe (bee bee). With just a bit of sweetness, that became "My Beebe" as I hold her (my wife) in my arms.
So the RV-9A now - thanks to John Stahr - a nice moniker of "My Beebe" on the nose.

If you take more than two decades to complete, then you need a suitable name... 
Not connected to the tail art though -

Or drop every extra penny you can scrounge up while building her. When they ask what her name is I'll proudly answer "Pretti Penni".

I never had the problem, I call mine "Air Force One". It always gets some puzzled looks even from pilots, then I have to explain it is not a nickname I use for it, but that it is actually registered as Air Force One! Keeps me in libation as well, ALWAYS good for a case of beer bet that I own Air Force One!

Go Buggy
Just call it The Go Buggy. You can explain about Jack Ilfrey's connection if anyone asks.

My Dad's call sign as air attack boss with the Forest Service in the 60's and 70's. He built wood boats when I was growing up, so I got the 'builder bug'.
