We just bought a Ford Escape, which doesn't have a name yet. It may not get one. I usually get a feeling for the name within days. How about Dory? From the movie Finding Nemo. We still say Es-caap-ay for the word escape because of that movie!

Just got an Outback so she's been named Sheila (Aussie/Outback = girl car).
I'd love to claim it was my idea, but I literally googled on what to name my car which was weird, but I didn't expect to have to buy a car and I told my husband I was bonding LOL LOL

I see these threads and I wonder about the region of the Peas who post on them. I'm in So Cal and I have never heard of anyone naming their car, ever. I'm in So. Cal as well - and all my scrappy friends have cars with names. I felt pressure as soon as we drove our Outback off the lot! LOL

I see these threads and I wonder about the region of the Peas who post on them. I'm in So Cal and I have never heard of anyone naming their car, ever. And we are supposedly known for our car culture out here. Everyone I know myself included just refers to the brand "take the Tahoe" "take the truck", taking my Mercedes to the dealer..etc. So, is it a regional thing to do this? Or maybe it's everywhere and I just never have known anyone to do that? For a moment I read your comment as "religion" and wondered what religion had to do with it lol I'm in OK... when I was in high school and early college all the teens named their cars. Cars with names had been big in our childhood movies such as Chittychitty Bangbang and Herbie. So it might be partially an age thing. The adults I know now will say things like "take the truck" BUT if I first confess to naming my car they often will grin and tell me what they mentally, or with family, call their car. They just don't want to explain who Matilda is and why she needs a new rear end.....

I love all the names! I was leaning toward Vanna or Vanessa and then we decided on Vando Calrissian as a family so I just ordered it's custom magnet from Etsy to make it official!

For you, I like Vanna.
My black car is Suzy. Short for Black Eyed Susan, one of my favorite flowers.
My last car was Roses. She was red, and roses are my favorite.
I’ve had Carrie, a cobalt; Denny, a GMC Denali; and Barbie, a Malibu
BF’s Silverado pickup is Vera (part of Silverado) DS’s white truck is Betty White 😂 DD’s Malibu is just “the Bu” (like Boo)

Does it have good get up and go? Mine is a 2016. I really like it. I got four wheel drive, goes great in snow! I can’t remember exact enigine without looking but I got a “bigger” 4 cylinder and it has plenty of get up and go with decent gas mileage still. I get about 26 mpg around town.

I have a Mini Cooper named Mini the Pooh!
It took years before I named it. I wanted it to come to me.

I love this thread! My daughter names stuff including vehicles. Old Buick she first drove is Harold. DH's Expedition is Kevin. Her Saturn Aura is Fiona. I'll have to ask her who my van is.

I have never named a car. We did refer to the Xterra as the POS though. My DH's new Jaguar F-Pace is the Big Cat. Otherwise, we just say the Jeep or the Stingray.
