Something you fail to realize is that in the time between those threads, new members have joined, and we don't yet know what they have decided to name the new extention of their being.
BTW, this thread is missing the best part - The story of how your car got it's name. Most people don't just pick a name a random; there's meaning behind it. Who cares what you named your car? The way your car earned its nickname is far more entertaining
...I'll start:
When I bought my 8, I never told anyone that I got it. They all had to find out on their own, and I asked them not to mention it to anyone so that I could see the look on their faces as they said "What are you doing, dude? This isn't your Galant....wait.... WTF?!?!"
However, I needed a kind of code name so that I could talk about the car in groups while still keeping wandering ears none the wiser. The car was a secret, and the only name I could associate to a secret is "Victoria". Not very creative, but "Vic" seems quite fitting to me.

i just call mine the 8 when i'm talking about it but my friends call it the batmobile :p
the story behind that is they've never actually seen or heard a rotary before, so i start it up and we're just rolling down the street, get on the highway somewhere up outside bloomsburg PA, and i just wind it out redline all but 5th, and they're rather than commenting on how fast we're going they're just like "holy **** it sounds like the batmobile"

Mine has a few, Baby, Natalia, and Beauty. More often than not its just Baby, I just walk up to her after working and say "How's my baby doing?". Hell I even have my gf saying some days "So you wash your baby today?"

The late, great author James Clavell, wrote a fantastic novel called "Shogun". One of the main characters, the daimyo Yoshi Toranaga, has a female peregrine falcon that he hunts with. He named her "Lady of Steel"....pronounced "Tetsu-Ko".
He cherished this bird out of all his other hunting birds, because despite her tiny size, she was powerful, fast, agile, and beautiful. But most of all...she was deadly.
That reminds me of my 8, so that is the name that popped in my head the first time I saw her. Tetsu-Ko.
I know, I know...I'm a nerd.
