So I can make a good case for myself for both. The roll off the tongue and play on name for WILLY GOAT. However Wanting to keep the WILLYS name, but WILLYS (pronounced Willis) GOAT loses the play on the name billy goat and also don't roll off the tongue smoothly.
I decided instead of leaving it to the fate of a coin toss, I would get the input of other Jeepers and WILLYS owner to help out.

Thank you for your vote

What you talkin' about willy's;)
Several years ago I said that to my daughter a few times over the course of a few days. One day she replys - why do you keep calling me that?

Funny how something ingrained in one generation is completely unknown to another. Like slamming down the handset of a phone. : )

OP - I generally don't give Jeep name advice, but for you I'd go with "Bruce".

Just a couple of thoughts that jumped to mind:

To a fellow Jeep owner, Willys invokes the thought of Willys Overland. Willy is a milder and more g-rated term for a penis.

To all the non Jeep owners that will see it on the road, willy is one penis and willys is more than one penis.

My vote is to choose either Willys or goat, based off of personal importance to you, and come up with a better 2nd word or abbreviation. Also, I'm pretty sure that the maximum letter/digit count on all plates across the country is 8.

Example:
BILYGOAT
WILLYSOV

LOL! Choose the one you like best.
I’d planned on calling my Willys either Bruce (nod to Willis namesake) or Sarge (color of mine) but after owning mine for several months, neither name stuck and my Willys is simply referred to as “Dad’s Jeep”. ?

Just FYI, it’s not for my plates. That is already picked and has more to do with my wife and her plates than anything. Her plates are a play on her name, her name is Helo.
the name will be replacing the WILLYS stickers on each side of the hood. I am leaning more towards WIlLY GOAT.
My wife’s nick name is goat. When we go hiking she’s always first to the top out of what ever group we go with. And I don’t mean like 10 or 100’, I mean by 30 to 60 minutes or more.
so when I bought the Jeep I knew Goat was going to be or part of its name.

Just call it Gruff.

Also, if you have LED headlights, they look like goat eyes.

Why can't we add our own options to the list?
Because it’s my jeep. Lol
Serious though because I know what I want to name her just not sure on adding S or not.

as the day has progressed I’m leaning more to the Willy goat. But now I’m wish I did go with Gruff for the plates as suggested above. That would have been a great match.

I always thought vehicles wind up naming themselves.

I've had a "Sunuvabytch", a "Pezzachit", and a "Whathafuknow" in my days. The rest I call "My Jeep".
