Snowblower Names

Snowblower names can turn one of winter’s least enjoyable chores into something considerably more entertaining.

After all, if you’re going to spend a Saturday morning walking behind a machine while Mother Nature dumps another six inches on the driveway, you might as well give your snowblower a name.

And there is plenty of inspiration out there.

Snowplow naming contests have become surprisingly popular, with names such as Plowy McPlowFace, Betty Whiteout, Taylor Drift, Blizzard of Oz, Sleetwood Mac, Snowbi Wan Kenobi, Scoop Dogg, Darth Blader, Dolly Plowton, Fast and Flurrious, and Sled Zeppelin earning recognition in Minnesota’s annual Name a Snowplow contest.

But a snowblower deserves its own identity.

Whether you’ve got a red Honda, orange Ariens, green machine, yellow blower, or one of the increasingly popular battery-powered models, here are more than 300 snowblower naming ideas.

Top Ten Snowblower Names

1. Sir Blows-a-Lot

It sounds distinguished right up until you say it aloud. That’s exactly what makes Sir Blows-a-Lot an excellent name for the machine ruling your driveway all winter.

2. Snowbi Wan Kenobi

The snow is heavy with this one. This famous snowplow-contest-style name works just as well for the machine you’re counting on when the driveway looks like the ice planet Hoth.

3. Blizzard of Oz

Follow the yellow brick road—or at least clear a path to the mailbox. Blizzard of Oz is particularly good for a snowblower that seems capable of taking on anything winter throws at it.

4. The Abominable Snow Machine

Your neighbors may own snowblowers. You own The Abominable Snow Machine, which sounds considerably more intimidating.

5. Blowzilla

Short, memorable, and appropriately monstrous. Blowzilla is perfect for a big two-stage or three-stage snowblower that devours deep snow.

6. Snow Mercy

Your driveway asked for mercy. Your snowblower declined.

7. Flake Eliminator

There’s no complicated pun here—just a job description. The flakes arrive, and the Flake Eliminator makes them disappear.

8. Snowmageddon

Some people see 12 inches in the forecast and panic. Snowmageddon owners head to the garage and prepare for battle.

9. Frosty the Snowblower

Frosty isn’t a snowman anymore. He’s got an engine, an auger, and absolutely no interest in letting snow remain on your driveway.

10. Lord of the Flings

One blower to rule them all. Bonus points if your machine can launch driveway snow halfway into the next county.

How to Name Your Snowblower

The best snowblower names usually relate to the machine itself.

Start with its color, size, brand, personality or power source. A giant two-stage blower might become Blowzilla, while a compact battery-powered model could become Silent Knight.

Pop culture is another gold mine. Movies, musicians, celebrities and familiar sayings can often be transformed by substituting words such as snow, blow, flake, frost, ice, drift, sleet, slush or blizzard.

Most importantly, don’t overthink it.

If you laugh when you say the name out loud, you’ve probably found a winner.

That’s precisely why it’s fun.

You’ll be firing up The Abominable Snow Machine.

And winter had better be ready.
