My Girlfriend helped me name my 5…
We settled on Morticia
We also have a BMW 1 series as our daily driver therefore, we generally refer to them as the ‘1’ or the ‘5’ … Simples!
‘Piece of S!*%’ !
even though it’s a eunos, it’s called “the mazda” 
Lou or Louise.

Mine is known as " the 5 "
the wife’s Suzuki swift is " the Suzy ."
i heard the guy down the road calling his old Peugeot " start you ba***rd " the other day,
I have 3 cars and they are all called Dave’s car when they need Insuring, taxing or MOT?
Mine is called Skyler. Because she is sleek and sexy 
Ahem… I
do not call my car Becky, Gwynnie, Heffalump or Toodlepop, Shiny,
Blimey or Plod! In short; I don’t like naming my cars. It is a car –
not an animal. It has no tail to wag when you call it, nor does it
have a birthday. It doesn’t feel pain and doesn’t need to be
comforted. Your kind words are wasted on your car – it doesn’t hear
you. By all means sing it’s graces to other members but not to ‘it’.
My
sister-in-law was a great one for this. She named all of her
cars… and handbags! She named my brothers car, my other brothers
car, introduced weird and, frankly, disconcerting altered realities
of how our cars spoke to one another while we weren’t there and would
happily pat her vehicle and mutter ‘Paulie doesn’t mean it’ should I
so much as scoff or mock… which I did… frequently. When she
decided to call my previous car ‘Emma’ (the MR2 – can you see what
she’s done there? She also named her blender ‘Brenda’. I suggested a
therapist) I gave her a look of such utter disdain, you couldn’t read
a single trace of happiness in my face.
“Well:
what do you call it then?” getting all flustered and defensive, as
if the only reasonable notion was that my car was called by some
other name. I thought about this for a while, smiled a little as an
answer came to me and replied “I call it a bitch if it doesn’t
start!” I thought that summed it up nicely.
I
realise this makes me appear like a cantankerous old git but it’s not
meant to be. I believe there are many like me. I do get attached to
inanimate things. My walking boots that I traveled all over the world
with I consider a prized possession. My VFR, that has been hit a half
dozen times in London traffic, been lobbed up the road, stolen,
ringed, recovered and still comes up like new I don’t regard as of
any value to anyone but myself. If my house burnt down the only thing
I would rescue would be a drawing of I did of Jimmy Clarks DB4GT
Zagato and the choicest of my guitars. I have an uncanny habit of
hoarding these lifeless items. The affection for each one as
illogical as naming my car… but none of them have names.
And
yet, AND YET!! I have MY name on my number plate (as he slaps the
face of hypocrisy). What does that tell you? There is undoubtedly an
air of self-importance about that, for sure. Oh no, I can’t make a
name up for it – I have to have my
name on it. A chance purchase from the DVLA some years back now but I
remember thinking that it wasn’t a case of having my name on my car,
as much as not wanting anyone else to have my name on their car. It
is, of course, a treasured possession. Perhaps I do name my cars
after all…
This is Bertie
For those who posted that cars are inanimate object and do not, nor should not have names, go watch “Transformers” 2007 film… Bumblebee would be devastated at your comments… 
Additional benefit to watching the film will be many shots of Megan Fox… ermmm, can I say that on the forum?
BTW - my son named our Eunos “Megan”… I can’t imagine why?
Keep the smile with every mile.
It is just a bit of harmless fun, no one is going out robbing anyone with guns, let your hair down
“Black blur 1” MK 1
“Black blur 2” Mk 2
“The white one” Mk 2
“Keep him off playstation project,” my lads MK 1
Open your mind, and don’t grow old to quick.
M-m
I’m so glad I’m not the only one!
My mx5 is Momo. (Momo steering wheel! A friend came up with that one) and the KA is Little Car. Which was fine when it was the littlest car, but now I’ve got the mazda its not any more. Can’t go changing it to “not the littlest car any more but still quite a little car really”, doesn’t have the same ring to it…
That is starting to sound like a Nac MAc Feegle name (Pratchett)
No’-As-Big-As-Medium-Sized-Jock-But-Bigger-than-Wee-Jock Jock
From the MGB, which was the “B”, the MX5 being an NB, O level Latin suggested it started off as Nota Bene. That sort of got changed to Benny.
You want to name your cars then fill your boots - I’ve nothing against it but for myself, I couldn’t do it…
Snap, my car is also Benny, the name being taken from the number plate.
Full name is Benny Wilkinson - after all he is a Razor blue…
Clara. From Dr Who. Daughters idea and I like.
