Does your car have a name??

I saw this on another site- whether or not you have nicknames for your car (or other object you love). Supposedly, being attached to things like cars fills "romantic voids." 

Regardless- I thought it was funny because DH is soo guilty of this!  He names everything!  I brought home a peace lily so we'd have a plant and he promptly named "her" Angela!  He's so goofy like that.  His cars: Lucy the SHO and Lexi the SRT-4. Lol  My new car... yea, I think he's getting a name.  And I think it's going to be Max.  Because Max is cool like that.  Cool 

 Please tell me we are not the only ones!  I wanna hear em if you got em!

Re: Does your car have a name??

  • We have Susan the Stratus and Charlie the Charger :) I'm into using alliteration for their names lol!
  • Those are cute!  Haha, I like that they're alliterating names, too.  (Max the Mazda3 :))

  • My car has a name...but it is sooooo dorky.  DH was a biochemistry major in college and my first license plate began with the letters DNA, so we named my car "Deoxy"...short for Deoxyribonucleic acid.  Incredibly dorky, but it stuck.  So that's her name (its just a little sporty Chevy cavalier, so it's definitely a her).

    DH's car is sometimes referred to as "The silver bullet," which is funny because it's just a Honda Accord.  There's millions of them around town.

  • I laughed when I read your post because DH's best friends has names for all his cars (Matilda, etc.) and now his fiance has a name for her car.  My DH has a huge rubber plant he got for ten dollars six years ago that his mom nicknamed Roberta.  She is huge.  My friends always comment how big she is when they first see her.  My ex sister in law (brother's wife) had that name so it is kind of weird but we do refer to her as Roberta (the rubber tree/plant.) 
  • no, we dont name things. but my roommate in college, she named her car Lucy as well (it was a red ford taurus station wagon). And she had this tiny stuffed puppy tucked under her sun visor, whose name was Ricky :P

    I love you, Daddy...2/24/1953 to 2/13/2011image
  • Hahaha, oh my.  I love these stories!  Too funny about the rubber plant Roberta.  And I don't think Deoxy is too dorky- it's cute!!  

    Kim- that's so weird that your friend's car Lucy was a red Ford Taurus- DH's Lucy is a red Ford Taurus SHO (faster edition or whatnot).  I wonder if there are other red Taurus Lucys out there??

  • I've never actually named my car, but I do always refer to it as a him. So I guess deep inside I have some kind of emotional attachment. Perhaps I will think of a name now after this post ;) Eddie the escort sounds nice lol
