Do you name your cars, if so what have you named them?
-
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?

I always name them, but I have no naming scheme per se, other than vibes. First car I ever owned was a light blue 83 Cutlass - that was "Bob". Had an early 90s Dodge Shadow with a v6 and that was "Pepe." Most recent is a 2010 VW Final Edition convertible w/ blue & white two tone paint and she's "Elsa." The names just always seem to be there already when I get them.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I dont usually name my cars, but my first car kind of naturally developed one over time:
Het Groene Gevaar
Meaning "The Green Danger", so called because it was green and had no airbags.
I loved that car

Got two cars: one with a hook and one without. With a hook, then it's male, so it's called Herman. The other is called Embla.
My others cars were called, in no particular order: Bob, Betty White, Alfred, Ellie.

I've named mine except for my current one. None of the names have felt right. I have to fix a major problem with the soft top cover deck, so that may inspire me.
It's frustrating because it's a great car and it's fun to drive. Maybe we just haven't bonded fully yet.

Our car is called Tufje, based on some letters on the license plate.
My dad came up with the name as a joke and it kind of stuck. -

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.
