I see in a lot of threads that people have unique names for their cars. So lets post em up!

My previous car was a 96 Legacy and I called her Mildred because she was an old b****.
I don't have a name of the Impreza yet. I haven't gotten to know her well enough yet.

I just love that it's a boy! Eric thinks I'm weird because my car is boy as well! And I love him!

My L is named Dmitry and when I met Eric I named his RS Julia. But our son renamed it Julian because he wanted it to be a boy like Mommy's car! haha

My 96 Accord I just got rid of was Betsy. I hated that damn thing!

Oh and gizzmo, I love both your names, their awesome! Specially the flannel one! haha That is one reason I do not want a wagon, because I can come off lezbo-ish at times and don't need help with that image! haha

I have to agree that name is awesome. I drove a wagon for almost three years and I never felt lesbo-ish. In fact I felt more Soccer Mom in the wagon.

My 93 Nissan Sentra was Phil.

My 97 Pontiac Bonneville was Bonnie.

My 04 WRX is Wrex. I know, how original. But it was what the previous owner named him and I knew the car as Wrex before I bought him and I couldn't just change his name.

My 2000 Camry was called Janet, he was sophisticated, moody and totally bi sexual (yes I said he... long story).

My 2010 WRX is called Sno Kone, cuz she reminds me of a sno kone for some reason although some people keep calling her snow ball. lol.

My husbands 04 WRX is called Rex.

The name has to come to you. Then it will all click into place.




My old Impreza is named Stripes. My STi is named T.K. short for Turbokiller, since it blew 2 turbos in as many months. :D

I name my car based on personality. Which could be either male or female.

I think girls are better at this than guys. And by better I mean less sexist. ;)

considering the relationship that most guys have with their cars. i wouldn't consider it sexist to pick a female name for them... i'd consider it heterosexual. my bugeye was definitely my 2nd girlfriend(ironically she costed a lot more than most of the girlfriends i had too)... it just wouldn't be right if i talked with as much love and affection as i did about that car if i named it a guy... "yea i love that car! every time i get in and turn it on... walter never ceases to get me excited."

I love naming cars. Mildred was named that because she was an old b**** that just wouldn't die. However I still can't come up with a good name for this one. My boyfriend suggested I name it Rusty, but that name just doesn't sit right with me.

I don't doubt that is reason for many men. But it still has a very large "possession/control" connotation to it. Just sayin'!

Right. The objectification of women. :lol:

Am I the only one knows what I'm talking about?

I'm just teasing though. It's just a bad habit by this point in time. A tradition that's been going on for a long time.

05-23-2010, 10:30 PM
^^ You own the car, which has a female name, subconsiously (sorry for poor spelling) you own a women. Just saying. Though I see your point too! "Oh, Walter!" haha

I keep thinkng I need to change Dmitry's name to Lazarus due to the brought back from the dead thing! haha

well it's not like i call my girlfriends "my car"... i consider it more of a term of affection to call a car a girl's name, it makes it easier to care for it if i feel some sort of affection for it(im weird, i know) I could give it a cutesy nickname like "baby-cakes" seeing as how girls always say my car is cute.:lol:

i haven't and won't ever say i OWN a woman. i make payments on a car, hence i own it. they are 2 entirely different things. if i were in a relationship where i felt like i owned my girlfriend, i would break up with her, it's just not fun if i feel like i have some sort of control over what she does, i wont OWN something that has a mind and should have free will.

anyways back to the fun... subiemommy, i will paypal you $1 if you permanently name your car zombie jesus.:lol:

My 2005 WRB WRX limited, swapped 2.5/6speed's name is Frankenstein because it has so many different parts from different cars on it. :lol:

My 2007 OBP STi's name is Charlotte, off of Charlotte's web. I don't know, she just reminded me of her for some reason. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I was thinking of a name for her.

I seem to give my car nicknames instead of actual "name-names" Example: the car I had before my current one, a 2005 Kia Rio Cinco was simply referred to as "The Jellybean"

http://i27.tinypic.com/2dam2ko.jpg

I think it earned that well, and strangely enough, Kia calls this paint color "Rally Blue"
What a joke, considering its lack of speed...but hey, it was pretty close to WRB :lol:

Anyway, my WRX wagon is genderless, and nicknamed "The Toaster" :devil:

(yes, I have an affliction for hatchbacks/wagons. I've owned one sedan and absolutely hated the trunk. Nothing ever fit in it)
