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'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.

Only ever named one of them...
Petey.
Petey seems like quite the cruiser

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

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.

I theme the name based on the car. It could be the model, or it could be what it is known for.
I had a VW GTI named “Gertie”.
Currently I have a Subaru STI named “Satori”, and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 named “Electra”.
