I haven't put my name on any bikes but three sport their own names. Jessica and the bike she inspired, Jessica J. When my namesake, the Peter Mooney, gets repainted, it will bear its name. Pete. INo relation to the builder, or my brother or uncle, all of whom go by Peter. Year two of the Mooney, I was riding and just realized the bike I was on was named Pete. That simple. I've tried naming bikes before but always ended up forgetting. But this time, the bike told me and it has stuck for 38 years without being written down.

Jessica (now retired) sports her name on the top tube. Jessica J is ti, so hers is on the right fork blade. Peter will probably go top tube.
