Just to resurrect the topic I have used operatic names:
Brünnhilde is the name of our main tandem. The current Brünnhilde is the second one. Brünnhilde is one of the Valkyrie, as in Wagner’s Ring Cycle. The Valkyrie carry the souls to Valhalla, ie heaven. If riding tandem is not heaven what is?
Siegfried is the name of our second tandem, low back tandem, named again from Wagner’s Ring cycle. Brünnhilde gave up immortality to marry Siegfried.
An old half bike of mine was called Turandot – from Puccini opera of that name. The legend was that Turandot tortured her lovers. And if riding a 1 in 4 hills isn’t torture what is?
For our dearly departed triplet we called her Mikado, as in “three little Dee’s”
Rather then stick with the name of BOB for our Yak, Senior and Junior management named her Yasmine.
I have yet to decide on a name for my new baby, but one has 3 weeks after the birth to register the birth and name!
