I'm having trouble naming my new car...

My old car was called Julian, and I knew it as soon as I got in the car, but I just can't get anything to click!

I've toyed with Cedric, but it's just not right...
I've also toyed with The Tardis, purly so I can say I've driving round in the Tardis [Yes I know...], but I feel thats a little geeky...
I think he's a boy car, but a girl name might just click!
I need something that goes nicely with Julian as I still own him, Trevor and Boris as they will be the cars he;s parked next to at work!, and it has to be a longer name that can be shortened to one syllable!


This isn't my car, but it's the same colour and style:

title or description

Oh, and the number plate has a B,N,C,J&0. My best friend has already helpfuly called it the 'Blow Job' car...

I know it's a little sad, but hey, I name everything and I don't want the car feeling left out!



Or if you have no suggestions, what inanimate objects have you named?

My computer's name is Super!Bitch...very appropriate, my coffee maker before my current one was named 'Lagrimas negras' (black tears) and the current one is named Senor Cafe.

your car is very cute...i think you should call him Hans.

A Confederacy of Dunces!

I don't know why I added the exclamation mark, I actually did not like that book as much as I thought I would.

It's one of my favorites, although I have a very hard time convincing people to like it. Or even read it.

My first car was Leslie(he was a boy) and my second car was Harvey until I named my son Harvey. Now he's Norbert.

Also, my friend would shit bricks over your car! :D It's so cute.

My iPod is Leslie too! All my iPods have gotten boy names for some reason, even though I usually put them in pink cases. I usually prefer Leslie for a girl though.

Both my cars have been males. My first car was Sunny Bird and my current car is Tana, pronounced TAH-na. Your car does look like a Hans. Or Louis (Louie) comes to mind.

I name my cars by looking at my number plates and trying to find something from it.... with your number plate for some reason I look at yours and see Finkle?! haha!

My old car was Sven (s693 svw) and my current car is Alfie (ive forgotten original plate because i have a private plate lol) i think it ended in auf, or something.

I've named all my cars.
My first car was Barney, my 1996 purple neon. He was also called the purple people eater, or the beast. I loved that car.
Next there was Fancy Clancy, a 1995 blue-green Toyota Tercel, who died within two weeks of having him. Not so fancy afterall.
After that, I had Lucifer nn Lucy, a 1996 black Nissan Sentra. Turns out the name was bad luck, because he was the only car I've been in an accident with.
After that, I drove Olivia (named because she made me feel ALIVE!), my 1996 black JW Jetta that I absolutely LOVED. She was getting a bit old and fixing her was not pretty on the pocket so I traded her in.
Currently, I drive Sylvia a 2001 navy blue Ford Explorer Sport. I love driving her (minus the gas prices).

As far as your car goes, I think he looks like a Simon, you could nn him Sie.

Looks like a Boris to me :)

My first car was Isaac, then there was Perry (aka the Yellow Peril), and now Ulysses. And my computers are always Fred (for Flamin' Ridiculous Electronic Device) - Fred the First, Fred the Second etc, I'm now on Fred the Fifth.

I sulked for ages at work because they wouldn't let me name the printers Obadiah and Ichabod.

My iPod is Cameron, my laptop is Robert, my wheelchair is House, and my cane is Wilson. Sense a theme there?
