Have you named your 8?

I've been wondering how many owners have named their 8's and if they have, why they chose the name they chose.

After a month, i finally named mine yesterday: Roxanne. Three reasons; 1) RoXanne. 2)She's a fiery, feisty chick. 3)the red interior lighting makes me think of the song by The Police.

My car has been named for me by a few friends... My car jokingly referred to as "Vader"

I'm a big star wars fan and the black / red leather probably had something to do with the name.

Jedi, i'll provide pics soon. I was trying to organize a photo shoot, but could not get my model friend to pose, so it'll just have to be Roxanne in all her glory.

Another very distinct name. I'm actually surprised, I was expecting all the guys to have given their 8's girl's names. Instead we have Vader and Nimbus. Awesome!

+1 (would it be a jack? OT, but asking the OP . . . but I digress.)

Haven't named it. But I sometimes think of it as my RelaX 8. There's just no better way to unwind than ripping up some twisities. Well, maybe 1 better way . . . but again I digress.

Naming your car is lame. You should all kick your own asses.

C'mon Ike, live a little man. You know you wanna name yours but can't come up with anything that doesn't have "econobox" in the name.
