I’m trying to come up with a name for the van that will replace my old totaled van. The old one was called Ody because it was a Honda Odyssey. The new one will be very similar but it needs it’s own name.
Short list:
Vanna
Shirley
Vando Calrissian
Homer
We already have a Corolla named the Blue Goose and an Accord named the Grey Goose.

We refer to my van as Big Red. My old PT Cruiser was The Magic Bus.

No but I have named my navigation system. My daughter's home was previously owned by a 90+ year old woman name Beatrice. She passed at the home. I love her name and her story (the neighbors have shared with me) so Beatrice is what I have named my navi.  |

We had a 2005 Chevy Optra wagon that we bought in 2011. It ended up being dd's car and she named him Hank. He was a little rough around the edges and wasn't the prettiest but drove like a dream.
Our 2011 Caravan is called Verna because Verna sounded like it went with Hank.
Yes we are weird.

My old RAV 4 was Rocky; he met a sad fate when I totaled him.  My new RAV 4 is Evelyn; no reason, just feels right. |

I haven't, but a client stopped in early this morning to report a claim. He walked into my office and said "Someone hit Big Sexy yesterday!" I had no idea that he was talking about his truck, a Chevy Silverado 2500HD, and gave him a strange look  . |

We had Green Machine, but nothing ever stuck for this red one. I even say "get into the van", even though I don't drive a van anymore.
I love my new one, but just don't have a name for it.

I have never named a car, but the first day I drove my new red Pontiac Solstice to school one of my 2nd grade students came running into the classroom all excited - she had seen me getting out of the car and putting the top up...
her: Mrs. C... is that YOUR CAR!!!??
me: Yes.
her: You should call it Lava!!!!!
me: Lava? Why Lava?
her: Cause it's red and it's HOT!!!!!!!
(she was an excitable child - I do miss that one!)

My old van was called Am because my DD couldn't say van. I had a VW CC called Coco because it was that color. My SUV is called Bella because she's a black beauty. DH had a blue Ram truck named 'Ol Blue. His newer blue Ram is called Beastie after Beast in the X-Men.

Yes. Our Kia Soul is named Mosby because he looks architectural. My daughter's Jeep is named Marshall because it's rugged and outdoorsy. Our oldest named her SUV Stinson because she thought it looked dapper. And as an outlier, our minivan is named Agent J. because we bought it the weekend that Men in Black II came out.  ETA We even named the GPS device Patrice so when she nags us, we can shout "Nobody asked you, Patrice!" |

We got a 2014 Mazda CX-5 in March. It's silver. We are big fans of Futurama, so his name is Bender B. Rodriguez We call him Bender. |

My Ford F-350, diesel, 4 x 4, Platinum edition in the color Ruby Red is named BART for Big Ass Red Truck!
No name for the Kia Soul or my RV....I want to name my RV, just haven't thought of a name that fits her. We've had her for one and a half years and still got nothing. WE plan to sell her and upgrade next spring/summer so maybe the upgrade will get a name.

My car is begging for a name and the only thing I have come up with is Lacy for a dog that we fell in love with that we were her second family (the owner worked at the hospital and had very long hours, so we watched her when he worked) Sadly she passed away suddenly from cancer.
But I having a hard time making it stick, so I don't think Lacy is her name..
I have a 2013 Hyundai Azera which is a sweet ride (and not very common).. I LOVE her... she is brand new to me.

Our Ford Explorer is called Clark.
I tried to name my Mazda Tribute Katniss but the kids groaned and rolled their eyes.
Before I looked at your name choices I immediately thought of Homer for a Honda Odyssey.

My first car was HUGE, MASSIVE...a 1971 Chrysler Newport (think B-52's Love Shack). We named her Beulah! That's the only car I have ever named.
