Has anyone named their RX-8 yet?

Back in my Miata days a lot of Miata owner's named their cars. I never managed to name any of my three Miatas, but I'm rolling a name around in my mind (lots of empty space for that :D ) for my RX-8.

It's a car, not a dog...

I agree, but saying "Let's take the RX-8" just doesn't roll off the tongue like "Let's take the Miata" did. Too bad that Mazda didn't use dual nomenclature on RX-8 like on the MX-5/Miata (at least in the U.S.).

I am going to name mine Chachi.

Depends how you say it and "Let's take the eight" does. Or, if you only own one say "Let's take the Mazda". etc

It will be loyal, obey my comands, and be with me for about 13 years. I'll just have to feed it regularly.

And yes, it will be "My Lilttle Pup" aka "Puppy"

how about just saying...."LET'S TAKE MY CAR"

Won't work. I've got two cars and my wife has her SUV. I guess I could just refer to the RX-8 as "The Toy".

Dave

ReX.

I know it ain't too original, but my Miata is "Zoomer". My RX-8 will be called "Zing the Merciless".:D

The car will tell you its name, in time.

Sometimes it'll whisper it to you. Sometimes it'll yell it. Sometimes, a friend or relative will name it for you.

To some, it's Just A Car.

To others.. well.. it's a very deep rabbit hole ;)

My current steed was named by a friend, who noticed similarities between my miata and a rather sexy cartoon character.

"Gandalf the Grey" -- got Titanium Grey Metallic and I recently received "Glamdring" - Gandalf's sword from LOTR - as a gift...

figure I could drive around and stick it out the moonroof :D

Now that's a name that suits the car :)

>The car will tell you its name, in time.

Mine did, quickly.

The Predator

J/K

"My new car" as opposed to "my old car" .

"your car" or "my wife's car"

I did get to drive it today though

A slight correction. I did name a car once.

In 1985 I had an Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra Diesel as a company car. It was always "that P-O-S Olds". :D

We have always named our cars with names that end in "ie" or "y". You will hear the someone in the family ask "are we taking 'greenie' or 'yuckie'?" So far 'zoomie' has begun to gel for the X. The names are kinda lame but it's a family thing. We have 3 to 5 cars at any give time so the name thing is a must.

I'd have to agree, that's definitely the name for this car.

The '8'; no more no less, fully desribes the car.

Why call it anything else?

rael

Since the RX-8 will be my other Mazda, (the other the Protege), the RX-8 will be referenced as:

"THE car" as opposed to "the car".

i've been throwing around a few names...

since I right now have the "pr0ber", the natural progression would be to call my RX8 the "wanker" - however that may be a little cruel

also have been calling it the "Rex" lately which may stick...

also threw around the name "Max"or "Maxy" or "Dark Angel" cause I use to have this obsession with Jessica Alba who played Max in the show Dark Angel

That is the common nickname for the Subaru WRX. People will think you have a WRX, we wouldn't want that now would we?

I'm with Rael - simply the "8"

Baby Girl ...


LOL

The teenagers have suggested "the Blue Pearl", after the "Black Pearl" ship in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

They have started to call me Commidore.

I think more consideration is in order.......

Mable... :p

My Boxster was Zha Zha. Which fit perfectly !!!

I have been thinking of Roxy. It has to be a girls name because I have the Navi and it is a woman's voice.

I actually like Zing to...

Eventually one will fit. I agree that sometimes it takes a while but it will eventually be "dubed" a name. I had a '81 blue celica in College with 150K miles and it was "dubed" the blue flame...
