The naming scheme we followed, is based on the first letter of the car’s brand—so for example, a Volvo gets a name starting with ‘V’, like Vincent.
Anyone else done/do this? If so, what was your car + name + naming scheme?
Only one of my cars has earned a name, otherwise its just "that shitbox"or “the daily”
My blue VW Golf project car I’m always tweaking, modifying and breaking because I’m not a mechanic, thus it often forgets how to car, and it has black and yellow accents. So it’s been christened “Dory”
I have a brown Kangoo (a gift, 0 options), it’s the Kangoo-mobile, Scoobidoobidouuu!
The kids think it’s the ugluest crap but man can you fill it up with stuff!
The first vehicle I owned had no name. My friends kept asking what was named and I kept explaining “it’s a car. It gets me from point 🅰️ to point 🅱️.” I selected the car for it’s high fuel efficiency (record-breaking at the time) and general low total cost of ownership (TCO).
Not wanting to repeat the same conversation again, my second vehicle was named “Prius” and had they/them pronouns. Prius was a simple minded car, and liked car related things. Unfortunately, Prius met an untimely early end it got totaled by another driver (roommate was driving it, but the accident was 100% other driver’s fault).
For my third vehicle - another Prius, I immediately noticed her subtle feminity and her adventurous spirit. I’m gay, so it’s an immediate gal pal vibes .I named her, “Yetta” - and I knew we were destined to do crazy things together (and indeed we have!) She deserved a middle name fitting my plans for us. Taking a sort of mad hatter vibe, she got the middle name “Nutter”.
And that is the story I now tell my friends about how I got Yetta Nutter Prius.
My cars name is Otto Moe Bill
I name my bicycles.
Steely Fran is my touring and every day ride (she’s a Salsa Vaya, a steel-frame gravel bike)
Moon Unit is my fat-tire bike for snow, dirt, and rockhopping fun.
I had an orange beach cruiser I called The Cheddar Shredder
Cheese and a rhyme scheme, phenomenal.
These are both excellent names. A+
I had Horsybird 1, Horsybird 2 and Dobby. My current one doesn’t have a name.
We have a Toyota we call Plavalaguna because of the paint color, and a Volvo we call Portia because we thought it was funny.
I have a red prius named Lobstah and a Nissan names Paul.
Our newest car we got of Friday the 13th. Named it Jason. Have a mask facing backwards on one of the back seat headrests.
I had an old Meriva I called her Marge. She was tall and blue. But my 2008 Lexus SUV … I can’t name it. Nothing sticks man. Occasionally I call it Lexy
My first car, my lovely Mazda 2. It was tiny but perfect for me. My friends called it a jellybean and that stuck until Bean just started being used. I loved that Bean so much.
But I just got a new car and a friend of mine said it looks like a shoe. So now I have Shoe! Which I think is funny
when my first car dies I’m gonna be devastated. I love it so much >~<
My first car was named Sora Aoi which means sky blue. Don’t mind that it’s also the name of a popular Japanese porn star.
I also had a white Kia Soul that looked like a stormtrooper helmet so I was trying to pick a good reference name, but couldn’t decide on one.
My subaru is called “Subarashii”, because it’s excellent.
Normally no. However, I do own a 1968 Chrysler station wagon that I’ve taken to calling “the Duchess of Rustess”. No, it doesn’t even rhyme, but it does makes me smile.
I don’t own a car, but my bicycle is named Aneth. It’s French for “dill”, pronounced the same as the name “Annette”.
I like dill and “Aneth la bicyclette” rhymes.
Only ever named one of them…
Petey.

Petey seems like quite the cruiser
I like that wagon you’re dragging 😏
