    The naming scheme we followed, is based on the first letter of the car's brand—so for example, a Volvo gets a name starting with 'V', like Vincent.

    Anyone else done/do this? If so, what was your car + name + naming scheme?

    My wife calls our Mondeo "Fordeus", which I find super cringy but I allow it.

      I'm gonna go against the grain and say no, I don't name my cars other than what they are - my "Subaru" and my "Mazda". If I got another car from the same manufacturer, then I'd switch it to the model like my " Forester" and my "323"

      However, I do have a friend whose family has a designated learner car that they call "Socks" simply because the number plate ends in SOX

        I had an old Meriva I called her Marge. She was tall and blue. But my 2008 Lexus SUV … I can’t name it. Nothing sticks man. Occasionally I call it Lexy

          Not really but we occasionally refer to it as "Big Black" for obvious reasons.

            I have a relatively new car thats already had an engine swap. Nicknamed "the wreck" or "Raset" in Swedish. No, it wasn't my driving, the shop fucked up, long story.

            My other car, an old Renault box van, hasn't got a name. It looks like it does, but inspiration hasn't struck yet and it might not ever.

            To name a car, the car needs to deserve it, have personality. Not any old car gets named.

                  I've named mine after Immortan Joe's "wives" in Fury Road.

                  My first one was yellow and ancient so had quite a short life expectancy (a 2003 Suzuki Ignis, bought in 2020) so it became Splendid.

                  Next a white Fiat Panda, The Dag.

                  Now I have an electric in silver (I didn't have a choice of colour) so I decided to sort of break the pattern and named it Ms. Giddy after the teacher of the "wives".

                  Hopefully the next one will be red and will be called Capable.

                        My current car is an old heap called "Adventure Car" which earned it's moniker after I did a bunch of off-roading with it, expecting to kill it and then get something newer ... it not only didn't break but is still going strong 5 years later.

                        Many of my previous cars haven't had names, but all my motorbikes have.

                            Yes, usually after the first letter of the rego plate. My current car, a 2020 Veloster is called Siggy.

                              Only one of my cars was named, and not by me.

                              My friend called my Peugeot 406 the "Chariot of Dreams"

                                My mate had a crappy old van for his run around because it was the cheapest thing he could get his hands on, we called it the Red Enigma. My brother has a crappy old silver hatchback that was actually pretty fast and we called it the Silver Bullet.

                                So I guess, colour and whatever sounds right.

                                          The naming scheme we followed, is based on the first letter of the car's brand—so for example, a Volvo gets a name starting with 'V', like Vincent.

                                          Anyone else done/do this? If so, what was your car + name + naming scheme?

                                          Our newest car we got of Friday the 13th. Named it Jason. Have a mask facing backwards on one of the back seat headrests.
