I'd like to name my lake placid blue mexi strat but i can't think of anything that doesn't sound to corny. It has a maple fretboard and I've sanded the finish down and removed the gloss so it has a really nice smooth matte feel. It has a weird coat of metallic orange under the blue so there's spots of orange where I've chipped or worn the guitar. For the name, I was thinking maybe a type of blue and orange fish? Maybe a blue and brown bird even. It has this really interesting spotted maple that faded into the thinnest flame on the side of the headstock so it'd be cool to name it after that. I've never seen any other mexi strat with that on the headstock I'd like to name it after that. I'd love any suggestions! Thanks.

Feo Spanish for Ugly - According to Google Translate so probably nothing of the sort.

I remember watching this western years ago. The cowboy rides into town on this beautiful horse. This town kid runs up to him and offers to tend to it and asks what its name is. The cowboy tells him, "son, you don't name something you might have to eat, out on the trail".

It is certainly more difficult to sell or dismantle a guitar once it has a name, so that is very pertinent.

This is Big Red II:

Candy Apple Red nitro over gold base coat. Tinted maple neck. Gold anodized pick guard. White knobs and pickup covers.

Big Red I was my first CAR Strat and got its name from a visit to the grocery store. There was a rather large woman shopping in the vegetable aisle. She had bright red hair and a tattoo on her upper arm that read "Big Red". Instant inspiration.

I can't ever imagine myself selling this guitar, even though it's only a mexi strat it was my main and only strat for years so unless I completely lose interest in music I think it's a keeper. Thanks for all the suggestions though I'm really enojoying reading them! I'm thinking something to do with a desert because those ripples on the headstock I was talking about look like th dunes and ripples in the desert sand.
