Default Winch Names

We are probably going to finish construction on the winch within the next few day. Then its time for paint. We need to come up with a name for it. I was wondering what you named your winches.

The portuguese word for winch is guincho my idea is "Guincho the Wincho"
Any suggestions would be great as the name is not set in stone as of yet.

The English word for winch is winch, so I’d probably call it “The Winch”.
But then I’m not Portuguese.

We were in discussion on a name for our winch, but then i thought whats the point, we will only ever call it "Winch", or maybe sometimes "The Winch" so there good enough names for me.

Im sure Pauline will think of something quirky though!

There's a list of winch names on here

I agree with Radlam though Its a bit pointless. My hand was forced with the first one we built becasue one of the other guys was adamant on naming it something proper gay.

Unless your thinking of making them as a business, i don't see the point in naming either.

Not so quirky after all Rick!!!

Think we should attach a jagermister optic to the winch though!! For some end of run refreshments. and a JD one too.

maybe we should call it "the motorised bar!!"
