I'm curious to know what other members have named there RX-8
For me, i've named my car first car Clarissa. My car is titanium color and i drive nice and smooth with my 8. I keep it as clean as possible 24/7, No modifications have been done to it other then getting some nice wheels so Clarissa just sounds right for my RX8.
I find that Clarissa is a very proper , clean and presentable name. Which leads to my car
As well I I chose Clarissa because that is one of my favorite names for girls and Intend to use it for my first daughter in the future.

Hellblazer

Melanie for my Tit grey 8. Same thing if I ever have a daughter.

Zahra..Arabic for Rose and named after my Arabian Grandmother, my car is red too so it goes well.

I call mine Lord Wilbraham Cornsquaggle, III :D

The 8 is Aiko (female Japanese name).

The 5 is Akio (look twice at the spelling :D it is a male Japanese name)

The 7 is Akina (for those Initial D fans, yep that's what it is)

All our cars have one surname as well, for the original company that is now Mazda: Toyo-Kogyo.

Haze

Bartleby the Rotarian.

Now one might wonder how I got to that . . . reasonable question. I have a lightning yellow eight that I started refering to as Bumblebee, just cause, and since it was phonically similar to Bartlebee, I started calling it Bumblebee the Scrivener, after the Melville novel. Well, that lead to Bartleby the Scrivener, but of course the 8 isn't a Scrivener. So, I renamed it "Bartleby the Rotarian". Makes perfect sense to me!

Good one.

Mine's Evangeline. Means "like an angel" in Greek.

I started a similar thread a while back but it got moved to the Lounge. Dunno why; it seams like a legit topic for "RX-8 Discussion."

"Evangeline" was also the title of an epic poem by Longfellow.

My girlfriend has named it Toadette. Ehhh... don't really like it but it will suffice until I find a better suiting name.

I went with Lola

My god-daughter named it ZOOM-ZOOM long before I took delivery 1.5 years ago. So the name, however un-imaginitive, has stuck like glue. My co-workers call it Zoom-Zoom also. In fact, one gave me the Zoom-Zoom decals that I put in the rear window.

Naomi (I moan backwards)... I thought it was appropriate because she is rather loud once I start abusing her.

StphNieuw

Sally, because it can be such a pain in the but, always at the pump, always checking the oil level.. High maintenace really..

My old black Camaro was called the Batmobile by my friends. My new black 8 is called The Black Hawk by my friends. I don't really call my car anything...

cggaratty

simply 'red'.

LiveBlues

Buddy.

My '88 Nissan Sentra that I drove for 15 years and 175K miles was also Buddy. It was also red. It was also fun to drive in it's own slowish sort of way. I have a lot of good times associated with Buddy.

Since my 8 quickly became my friend too, I thought it a fitting tribute to it's predecessor. I don't really care for the Junior thing, so it is just Buddy as well.

My wife and I decided to call it Remis for several reasons:

1. My wife is a big Harry Potter fan and likes the names in the books...we have a cat named Neville (because he is a big wuss!)

2. Our last car was a 1996 Honda Accord( great car ) named Sirius...because it was black and if you have read the books you will get that.....

3. In the books, Remis and Sirius are best friends

4. I like how it goes with Renesis...

So, my 8 is Remis Renesis.
