    Mine was named Godzilla--guy at the track came over to take a peek, with the 9 inch wide tires and ginormous splitter, he shook his head and blurted out, "That thing looks like....like...,Godzilla!" A few instructors were around and the names stuck.

    Once it's transmorgrified, I'm changing it's name to "Einstein". It'll all make sense eventually....

    You could name it you favorite stripper / adult entertainer name.

    Or just MF, because when something goes wrong or a part fails that's exactly what you will call it.

    My kids wound up naming mine. Kind of a goofy name but it's got a certain charm to it... :D

    It'll be awhile before the car comes back, I'll finally get around to doing a build thread once it's all done, it'll finally be worth of one. The "Einstein" thing will make sense then, it's too good of a name to pass on, once I had this "other" idea. It's a perfect fit, most people will get it right away and smile (maybe even laugh), those that don't, should just by a Prius and be done with it.

    I actually never had a desire to put a name on my car until someone did it for me, now I'm ok with it. But I won't go any farther than that; unlike Dave, I have no plans in the immediate future to sleep with my car.

    Nope did not name my MINI my wife did. It's called "the Mistress" because when I first got it I spent more time with my car then her.

    Oh I also take a car vacation (MOTD) with my MINI every year and the wide stays at home. :ihih:

    You can't force a name on a car, a name will just come to you.

    Wilhelm.

    Has both English (Queen Victoria's grandson) and German (well, he was the Kaiser) background. Kinda hard to mix the Italian in there too.

    That color combo, it just screams "Wilhelm" to me.

    I have been trying to come up with something on my own. I usually do not have an issue doing so. I thought I would see what the community thought!

    So far my favorite has been Olivia (olive for short! Means Elf Army!

    Word of advice: don't name a car perceived as a chick car after a cute, cuddly female pig.

    Just my .02.
