    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 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”.

                I name my bicycles.

                Steely Fran is my touring and every day ride (she's a Salsa Vaya, a steel-frame gravel bike)

                Moon Unit is my fat-tire bike for snow, dirt, and rockhopping fun.

                  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.

                                I called by previous car Trolvo. My current one is Lolvo.

                                You will never guess the brand...

                                  1970 Chevrolet Impala: Liberty (I bought it from a guy in Liberty, KY).

                                  1997 Nissan 200SX SE-R: Dot (It was Pacific Blue)

                                  2003 Acura TL: Sally (Generic name for a generic car)

                                  2014 Camry LE: Pearl (It was Cosmic Mica Gray which gave the car a pearlescent sheen).

                                  I currently have a 2019 Camry Hybrid XLE, but have yet to name it. I'm leaning toward "Betty", because the car has so many warnings, alarms, and notifications that I feel like I'm being bitched at when I drive it.

                                  I have owned several cars over the years that I never named. My absolute favorite car I've ever owned was a 1985 Corolla GT-S that I raced in Pro Solo for a few years and it never received a name. The next car I owned was a 1992 Sentra SE-R and it never got a name either. Also had a 1969 Chevelle that I drag raced in my teen years, but no name there.

                                      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?

                                      A couple years ago I had a neighbor named Patrick, and although we didn't have assigned parking at my apartment, we all tended to gravitate to the same spot regardless if others were available, and I parked next to Patrick's car nearly every everyday.

                                      Wife starts calling our car "SpongeBob" cuz it's always next to Patrick.

                                      To this day, as we're doing things like leaving a store forgetful of where we parked, she'll say something like "where's SpongeBob?"

                                        My current car is named the Goose, I had never named one before. No particular reason, but I got goose license plate holders and a goose with a knife sticker on the side of the mirror to embellish the ensemble. Still need a good goose to put in the back

                                          No real naming scheme, mostly just stupid names because they're funny, though a couple names have been roughly related to the car to which they belonged.
