Anybody naming their RX-8s?
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.

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"

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.

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

What's in a name?
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've been throwing around a few names...
since I right now have the "pr0ber", the natural progression would be to call my RX8 the "******" - 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
