What is your baby's name?

As you probably know, there is a long tradition of naming inanimate objects.
It’s actually considered “bad luck” to have a ship without a name.
I guess horses with no name are OK. Especially if you’re in the desert.

Keeping this tradition in mind, do you have a name for your car?

I call mine “Christine” (not from the movie).
My boss calls my car “Darth Vader” … reference to the curves and brilliant black color

"(Insert J.T.'s real name here)'s Baby"

or just "Baby" or "Babe".

It's funny when my wife answers when I'm talking to the car! The car is usually more responsive anyway.

The newest one is about a year old.
Lots of new members since then.

Actually, my search didn't find any previous threads.
Oh well, maybe a nice diversion for a Monday!

Haha, my previous car was a red Porsche that was named Luci for the same reason.

My wife drives a Honda element we refer to as "Ely" and my RX-8 is called "Rex"

My 6yo daughter looked at the back lettering and said "Is his name Rex?" And Rex was born.

I generally refer to my Rx-8 as "the nice car" or just "car" when addressing it directly. Depending on how it's running in a couple weeks, maybe I'll give it a new name. I always fancied "Smokeshow" but I think that'll take a healthy increase in torque to justify. Till then, "car" it is.

My teenage daughter and all her friends call Elements "Elephants" LOL when I heard that!

Isn't Ely a town in Nevada?

I call it " CEL!!??!?!?!, F**K!!! " because that's what I say pretty much everytime I turn on my car anymore... other than that, it gets the same name as my old car...Twatter.

Hey Phantom Menace,

As in the Superman movie, should we all "Kneel before Zod?" LOL

I used to call her My Bitch. Then one day I figured out that I am actually Her Bitch, since I'm taking directions from her all the time.

Actually it's illegal to have a ship without a name. They have to file the name with the Ships registry (like a car tag).

It's just flat out corny to name a car. We're adults, right?

Ahh... a little corn now and then never hurt anyone!

Think of all the things that are named:
-Buildings
-Boats
-Highways
-Space shuttles
Etc.

Have fun with it … name your car.
