I don't know if this thread has happened before, but I thought it'd be fun to find out what you call your baby...

for me, Marilyn...she's curvy!

:D

Maddie!

But my wife also has a new Mazda too and she insists her's is called Maddie and mine is Dobbie.

... I don't like Dobbie :(

Mine is Rex!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! IT's a CAR.

"The Mazda"

I call mine "Rev" sometimes...

True car enthusiasts believe their car has a sole

soul

It's not due for 3 months so haven't picked a name yet. I think we'll have to see it first. Our Miata goes by the name of 'Yata or Jelly-Belly (after the jelly beans). Our pickup is "Starina".

Possible names for the new 8

Buttercup
BumbleBee
Buzz
Felix (in honor of Dr. Wankel)

yes sorry I meant soul and my last car (Maxima) was named Naomi so now I have to think of a good name for my baby

Exactly! Don't let this thread flounder!

My car's name is "Koi".

No, not really. My RX-8 is "Roxy" (duh, I know, totally unoriginal, but it fits her and I can find lots of T-shirts with her name on them).

I am the most unoriginal of all.

My '83 RX-7 is called "The Maz".

My 8 is called "Red".

And my 4x4 is called "Old Red"; often "Poor Old Red". :)

Haven't though of a good one yet, altho "the 8" has kinda stuck...

i have been bad, almost been a month and still don't have a name, but i've come up with a few ideas, i wanted to pick a name from greek and roman mythology, and i wanted the orignal meaning of the name to mean something proper. I was half minded to diana because my arrest me red 8 is......... red. I also like the name of Rhea, and then Helena was the most desirable woman....... and i can't choose.

Diana - Diana was the Roman goddess of the hunt
Helena - She was the most desirable woman in Greece
Rhea - Goddess of the hearth and symbol of the home
Leda - The queen of the nymphs and mother of Helena


Leucosia
Ligeia
Parthenope
These three were the three sirens that are described as dangerously alluring

Mine's "Nori." Because of her color.

Mary Jane- (red headed girl from Spiderman comic books) *No reference to Marijuana

Halie

My wife looked out a second-floor window at my 8 parked next to her '03 Camry and said it looked like a toy car. It's certainly my favorite toy. So Toy Car it is.

I've been leaning towards "Citron". It's yellow . . . so very, very yellow.

It has been pointed out to me that naming a car with so much new and pretty much untried technology after a French lemon is perhaps not the most sensible of ideas.

Fortunately, the car seems to be resisting the nomer. Therefore, it may be changing. I have always believed that cars really name themselves after being given enough time. I think what I really need is a road trip. I just spent two weeks with my mother's Jaguar, since my previous car died twice in a week and couldn't be used, and it came home being called "The Kitty". A little obvious, but nobody else thought of a name in the two years that my mother has had the thing.

My 93 Rx7 was called "Max" because it seemed to suit him.

He's still with us, but is now called "Blue Max" ( he' s Montego Blue).

His new Rx8 cousin is "Black Max" (he's Briliant Black).

Quicksilver!

Named mine "L'il Tiger"

Bought a mini Auburn Tiger ball cap and it was embroidered on the back so it kind of stuck.

RoXanne/RoXy

when i first bought my car, me and a few of my co-workers decided to take it to a local starbucks. we were mobbed by all the people outside trying to look at my car. this happened several times the first week i had my car.

everyone started calling my 8 "pimp juice" after that. i don't necessarily call her that, but she does supply me with lots of "pimp juice" when driving around.

"Sayward"

Lolita

I just call it the "8".

Mine is named Trinity. I was watching the Matrix Reloaded the night I got my car and realized both had nice curves in black.

I said that some where before..

Here again

I have a black RX8 and I call it "Gee Ma Goun" - Seasame roll (black outside and red inside)

Most of my friends have Yum Cha dishes named after their cars..

I used to have a Har Gao (Shrimp Dumpling) which was a white Integra Type R DC2 (lightweight ver.) with red Recardo seats.

Compare to my friend also has a white Integra Type R RSX (DC5) also red Recardo inside - heavier and his car's name is Cha Siu Pao (Pork Bun)

Someone has a grey Boxster S look like Yue Chi Gao (shark fin dumpling) it is expensive dish as well!!!!

One friend has a Yellow MR2 which is a Dan Tat (Custard Tart) and how has a R34 GTR which is white with black leather so... Tong Yuen (Seasame balls - a Yum Cha desert)

A black 200SX with strange green tinge to the uphostery - his name is Pei Dan (preserved Duck eggs)

What we call ourselves? The

My 8 has been dubbed the ROCK8. It goes with both a NASA kinda theme as well as "rice rocket".


On my 86 RX-7, I labeled the fuel door with:

Tweety.

sweet melissa after that allman brothers song.

I NAMED HER THE ONE BECAUSE OUT OF ALL THE CARS I'VE OWNED THIS IS THE BEST ONE SO FAR PREVIOUS CARS :1976 LANCIA SCOPION (MID ENGINE) 2 SEATER, 1986 BUICK REGAL GRAND NATIONAL, 1984 PORSCHE 944 BLACK, 1986 928S PORSCHE (THIS IS THE CLOSEST ONE THAT IS EQUAL TO MY NEW RX-8) 1996 MAZDA MELLINIA, 1987 FORD MRECUR XR4TI (MOSTLY MADE IN EUROPE) ALSO 1991 YAMAHA FZR 1000CC SUPERBIKE.. I'M STILL HAVING LOTS OF FUN!!

I ALMOST FORGOT MY NEW 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA FLAIRSIDE. NOW THATS A NICE TRUCK. I ONCE TRIED TO RACE A BMW WITH IT AND LOST BUT I TOLD THE DRIVER THAT I WAS GOING TO GET MY OTHER CAR. SURPRIZE SURPRIZE!! SPANK HIM WITH MY NEW RX-8. HE NOW STOPS TRYING TO BEAT MY TRUCK. COMING SOON A POSSIBLE RAM AIR BLOWER THAT GIVE'S MY TUNDRA AND EXTRA 118 HP WOW!! LOOK OUT FOR THIS PROJECT SOON.

"The old jalopy.."

tends to get a neat reaction when people finally see just what I was supposedly referring to as the old jalopy ( hey, if they jump to conclusions, who amI to judge them )?

++dez;

of course you'd get a neat reaction. you told them that a car that hasn't even been in production for more than one year is an 'old jalopy.' that's not really jumping to conclusions, more like using your common sense.

that would be like calling my pet dog a cat, then having people surprised when they see its a dog.

See pic...

to my kids, it's "The Spy Car,"
to my wife, it's "Your Mazda,"
to me, it's "My 8"

I had a plate made with my 8's name too.

(Get it?)

Hmmm, I currently go with "the 8", and "the 7" and "the WRX". But I am thinking some names from the Mad Max movies would work for them. The WRX could be "Bubba Zanetti", the 8 could be "the towcutter" and the 7 should be "the nightrider"--but then I would think of David Hasselhof and that ain't right. So the 7 can be "Max". Lets see if my wife buys into this.

Even though I don't pick it up for two weeks, I've found a name already for my Black RX-8 with black/chaparral leather. After I came home from signing the papers I named it while watching the brown nitrogen bubbles in a tall, black celebratory glass of Guinness Stout... and Guinness the 8 was born : )

I call it MY CAR

Patrick

my winning blue's name is julia, named after my best friend's beautiful cousin who has had a tough life, and who is blue all the time.

I have been calling my baby Rexy for the past day or so... so its most likely Rexy"

ReX

"My Midlife Crisis." Happy Birthday to me!

Britny, after Britny Spare, because she has alot of nice curves.

Britny Spare?

I call mine " My bitch" as it obeys all of my commands at will

Uhh...I came up with this cool and unique name. I call mine,

"The RX8" . Sometimes, when it's around it's friends, they just call it "8".

Cool huh?

I also had an FB RX7....and I called that "The RX7".....:D


Just kiding guys...please no hate. In all honesty, I tried coming up with names for my cars...but none ever stick. I figured car manufacturers went through lots of research and time to come up with names....why should I?

Hey now, I was just hatin on Megareds the post above me!!!

I named mine T Rex for Tim's Rex because it's mine.

it was zooboo the quick, until my friends bugged me that it had to have a girl name so its either Alley or Jen. Although when I apoligize for grinding gears or doing something stupid it's always with a "sorry kiddo" :)

When I brought the car home my wife saw me drive up and said it looked wicked, maybe even evil incarnate. So now we call the car NATE (in-car-nate). I can't pass up a good pun. (BTW, she loves the car too.)

LMAO - never named a car before. A friend of mine got her Windstar affectionaly tagged "Dino" by the kids (hey, what else would you name a purple minivan besides "Barney" :p ) Getting my car this week (what a Xmas present huh?) and will defer any naming convention to members of the fairer sex ;).

Tasha, shades of my RX-7 20+ yrs. ago

Right now she's named "the reason for the stupid grin on my face". We'll see if she aquires another name.

Maggie =) ... The Navagation lady sounds like a Margaret... but I had to give her a little less stuffy name...

I call mine "My Precious" ;)

It does seem to have some strange compelling power over me.

I call mine 'My Ho' (cause I always get out with a s*** eating grin on my face) but I think my wife is jealous : )

roxy

Angela..

cuz its hot

Never planned on naming, but she has been called - and it's sticking in my brain- Trixie.

looks like today we have a couple threads resurrected from the dead. i think this was discussed a month or so ago in another thread.

Anie--short for Anakin...hehehe. How original is that? :)

Bella.

Laurie, after my best friend and girlfriend. The Miata is Stacie, because she just is!

You named your car after your girlfriend? Does that get confusing?

ghost--because they never see it coming and it's been hit in the rear bumper two times at a red light..(grey ghost mostly)!

you know, it's like the guys that only date girls with the same name as their wife. you don't ever have to worry about calling one by the other's name and get yourself in trouble. :mdrmed:

my car name:


God dang %$#*)*&^%% car...what the hell is wrong this time?

I tried to name her "Sashimi," as my cat is named "Sushi" and I thought it'd be retarded cute...

However, she said "Hell no!" and turned out to be Sphinx.

you know, it's like the guys that only date girls with the same name as their wife. you don't ever have to worry about calling one by the other's name and get yourself in trouble. :mdrmed:


Just give them all the same nickname and you're covered. :)

Anyway, my ex's nickname (given to him by someone else) happens to be the same name as the guy I'm currently dating. LOL

I find the name finds the car... and it hasn't happened yet.

I named mine, "Bluecrush" cuz, she's winning blue and I had a crush on her years before I signed the dotted line. :cwm27:

mine is big red......

mine is big red......
too much info. :rollingla

Ahhh! Yer a slick one! Nice idea. But IF you ever get caught slipping... :spank:

Sueno. translation: sleep, or dream.

All in all, 8's are sleepers to me. Some people tend to say, "oh, it's an import, not that fast." Or, "yeah, I heard they have no torque, very slow." But get her on the twisties and it's a whole 'nother ball game. And driving her is like a dream.

:smoker:

Larry, cause everytime I pull up to a gas station I say "You're killing me LARRY!"... :hahano: ....i'm not sure if anyone will get this joke though, it's a commercial that I think only plays in So Cali.

I hate that commercial.

[EDIT: My eight's name is, 'Vengeance.' ]

mine is called the juikster because it has an extra ordinary amount of tongue length.if it didnt, it would be just an ordinary tongue lapper. :cool:

Bella.

thats sick!!!!;)

btw,

i am enjoying the sinus infection also, but not like you...

right now my cars name is z pack.... usually it is tard,,, and on the really good days, it is called 10 kane..

beers :beer:

The original Titanium Gray Metallic one I had I named "T-ReX". This winning blue metallic one is now named "B-ReX". :)

Hmmm, looks like I never posted in this one of the many car-name-threads. Mine is: 'Iw Hurgh.

Had an '89 MX-6 GT 4WS. Red. His name was Max. Sneaky bastard fooled a lot of F bodies.

Had a '94 RX7, Brilliant Black. Her name was Roxy. Sexy, bodacious, full of attitude. All woman.

Now have an '05 Titanium 8. His name is Rex. Purposeful, almost arrogant, definitely a boy.

I call mine "GAS WHORE". :rofl:

I call my 8 "God of the dark and the will of light that shall find my soul buried deep within the trenches of a world war within my soul of burning passion mandy"

kinda drunk

When I'm trying to get the air filter out it's G#$%%$D#$%$# S#$%ofaB#$%. Otherwise it's "The 8." Still waiting to to see what sticks. I'm partial to Angelina though... :naughty: because just like the actress my wife thinks she's hot too.

My 6 year old neighbor called it the Batmobile when I first got it. 3 months later I moved to Charlotte my coworker and I went to lunch, I drove, He asked me how I liked the Batmobile. The name has stuck now. I am thinking of adding the jet engine after the warrenty is up. God I love this car.

BTW it is BB and very shiny

Her name is Lola!

Mistake.

mine's called gohan, yeah i'm a dbz fan and I named him that cause right now he's underpowered, but wait, when the superchargers come out he will be Super Mazda 2 Gohan!

Katie Ann (My Sister named it that)
I call her "The Beast" though

Her name is Lola!

Is she a show girl? :)

l

My car's name is Lakeesha Mukaka Muchana suedekua Latisha tanisha Musana :P

My cars name "ilikatogotodadealeralot".

I always named my cars, they were always 'Betsy' and always the same model.
I didnt want to call the 8 Betsy.. and I wanted to call it something Asian (LOL)..

So I came up with 'Seibetsu' (kinda like Betsy.. 'cause that soul will always be there)
Japanese translation.. distinction by sex... as in... I am woman, hear my rotary roar!!

Little zoom as well, for those that will never understand naming a car ;)

my winning blue is named - Delilah...after the song "hey there delilah-by plain white t's"

I am not a fan of calling cars a ladies name because it is a different kind of love for it. :D:

A song Pearl Jam covered called Sonic Reducer by the Dead Boys is what comes to mind:

I call my 8 a time machine because it saves me time to get to places when I don't have the time and it also takes my time when I have it to give. :yesnod:

I've had a few people call it a Batmobile as well.

A gal drunk off her tush staggered up to my car and asked if I knew Batman. :batman: I told her no But, I know Orgazmo! :lol2:

I just call her "BABY"

"MY car"

My wife's minivan is named "YOUR car". She always gets it backwards, though.

"Zooomie"

And I never hung a moniker on a vehicle before, but this one begs for it.

Pilgrim[I]

lol i love the names that people come up with =)

my car is called 미듬 aka "mideum" which is korean for "faith"

"Jade"


(she is phantom blue mica, and if you ever see this color on an 8 in person, you will understand why she is named like a stripper :p)
