Do you have a name for your car?

There was a thread about this a few weeks ago..... My Smart is called Daisy as she has red and silver daisies all over her

My mate's car is called George. I don't have a car, but my laptop is called Gus and my MP3 player is called Zac. Maybe it's a girl thing ?

Lol Orly Bird!

Never heard of naming a laptop or mp3 layer before!!!!!

Didn't see the earlier thread so apols if this is a bit of a rehash ?

I call my Beetle 'The Meepster' - which it finds a bit emasculating given its v5 engine, poor thing!

I bought a Hetty hoover because she was pink, and we now say 'the house needs Hetty'ing' rather than 'the house needs hoovering'!

I'm getting an i20 in a couple of weeks so I need to choose a name. However, I think I'll have to see him before I choose one. And yes, unlike most people I think cars are male.

Hector the Hyundai or Ivor the i20 maybe.

My car has cow print seat covers so she is called Bluebell, the cowiest name I could think of that wasn't the obvious Daisy.

(My husband calls his wallet Walter ?)

My clio's called Ruby - she's ultra red and the song Ruby Ruby Ruby was very popular when I bought her. Before that I had Gina who was french, dark metallic orange and pretty fizzy in the engine department - so Orangina or Gina seemed to fit. ?

? These are funny

I think I need to improve on Fifi, which is the provisional name for my Fiat 500

Do need something cutesy though I reckon!

We currently have Ruby (red fiesta), "the red dragon" (red capri); "the blue whale" (blue mk2 granada) and Dirk (grey capri, but the letters of the reg sound like dirk), so no, you're not the only loons ?

No i dont but if i did, and was getrting a Fiat 500 i would call it Foxy!!

Its only since meeting the hubby I have started, well he started it!

My green bug is called Shrek, it suits him down to the ground!

ooh me likey ?

Yes. My first car was called Heart of Gold, because (Hitchhiker's Guide nerd alert) every drive was an improbability.

Now I belong to and work for a car share group and I have named some of our cars as well. There's Voodo Child and Prima Donna, for example.

I currently have a Stella the Stilo and this is the first car I've named. Not sure why we've named this one and not my previous 2 cars.

My Mum has always named her cars she's had Florence the Fiat Punto and currently has Doris the motorhome!

My fiat 500 is called Rocco, it's red. I struggled to choose between Rocco and Elvis though, so you can have Elvis if you want. ?

Yes, It's called 'Golden Thunder'

Never normally name cars, but with our current car it seems to have picked up that name.

it's a gold coloured, big Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4, the engine makes a big roar and the name seems to suit it rather well.

My first car, a corsa, was called Corrie. I was heartbroken getting rid of it.

My current car is 'the midden', as my toddler seems to think that it is a dumping ground for toys/food/everything ?

I have only ever named one car- he was a Smart Passion cabriolet in black called Dinky. I adored him <sob>

My daughter has dabbled with "Poppy" for my far more sensible red Toyota Yaris, but I am afraid it is just "my car" as opposed to t'husband's Jeep, which is "your car."

We've named all our cars. Ruby a seriously old but super reliable Vauxhall Polo estate (red), followed by Benny a Vauxhall Astra (green). Next was Arthur, a '93 Saab 900s (black) and currently Roxy, another Saab 900s but a '95 (metallic red).

Ironically when we had a beautiful Jaguar XJS V12, it wasn't given a name just The Jag. Seems we have a more personal connection with our dodgy old motors.

Oh dear, I really don't get it. Never named a car or anything else I own (other than my cats but then they owned me ?)

i don't really get it either and we do name ours ?

Possibly for us it's because we spend a lot of time in ours.
