Any issues with me naming my new bus freebird?

It's so cliche and so obvious that I feel like there's got to be others out there. I've just been thinking about names and this project stands for freedom for my family in so many ways. It's also a blue bird [emoji851]. Just don't want to step on anyone's toes...

I say freeBird it is.. everyone's bus name has come about in different ways...

someone here has a buys named Bubble Unicorn because the DMV screwed up their title and wrote that as the body type.

one of mine is named RedByrd because the painter repainted the blueBird logo red instead of black..

so i say FreeBird it should be if you want it to be.

Freebird sounds better than Asswipe Express

I just checked the National Skoolie Name Registration. There is only one other bus named Freebird. I recommend that you keep a magnetic T on board so that if you run into it at a Skoolie gathering you can just cover his B with the T.

@Gonce4: This is what passes for exemplars around here. Don't say you haven't been warned!
