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 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
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’m in the same boat. I’m into cars, and have a couple that I enjoy very thoroughly, but I’ve never been able to think of a name that sticks, even tho I’ve tried. I usually just refer to as “The Mazda” or whatever. Mayhe one day I’ll have a Jaguar, and will be able to refer to it as “The Jag” like Jeremy Clarkson haha
Only ever named one of them…
Petey.
Petey seems like quite the cruiser
I like that wagon you’re dragging 😏
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.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 had an orange beach cruiser I called The Cheddar Shredder
Cheese and a rhyme scheme, phenomenal.
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 have a Mercury. It’s name is Freddy. Freddy the Mercury.
Edit: hey! That’s the wrong “its,” me! Get your shit together!
I had Fofus, Lancy and now Yogi.
Yes, currently Robert RedFord and Suby Roo.
I called by previous car Trolvo. My current one is Lolvo.
You will never guess the brand…
I have a pink fiat 500 called Lady Penelope
Our newest car we got of Friday the 13th. Named it Jason. Have a mask facing backwards on one of the back seat headrests.
I have a red prius named Lobstah and a Nissan names Paul.
I had Horsybird 1, Horsybird 2 and Dobby. My current one doesn’t have a name.
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
