I will say this over and over. your car names itself. One day it will come to you. Dont make the mistake of forcing a name on it. It will let you know if you are wrong.

As of right now her name is Lola. I have had her less than a week and while we have established that she is female she has not given me her official name. All she will tell me is it starts with a L.

My car's name is Abby too! However it has nothing to do with the green fairy (although i have BRG. hmmmm). Its all about Abigail Adams and how she was the perfect woman. My Abby is the perfect woman as well. Doesnt complain, does what I say, as long as I buy her pretty things and spend tons of money on her!

I am trying to name my "on the boat" MC! It is Midnight black with a white roof and white racing stripes. What do you guys think about "Dashing Daisy"? I would call her Daisy or him Dash, depending what it is.... The plate would read "DASHING"...

Mine is named "Arthur" and the Plates say "FLYNACE"

My financé's MCS plates say "DRBUGGY" (she's a doctor) but she has yet to name hers anything other than "the Buggy"

Mine is named "Lister" after the last human alive in British TV show "Red Dwarf". My plates (when they come in) will say "R3D DWRF".

My MINI is named beatrix - her plate is B3ATR1X - when I ordered the plate I had to try all kinds of combinations to make it work. When all was said and done - I am much happier with the plate that way. I do get a few people who ask me if the plate means anything

I'm currently thinking about either Marmaduke, after the cute Great Dane caroon, or Betty, after my grandmother. I named my iBook G4 Beatrice because of her attitude so I've been thinking about sticking with B names. Mostly I am just waiting until I get it to see what fits.

My Pepper White Mini is named "Grace".

The week I got her, my boyfriend and I were in the middle of a Saving Grace (tv series) marathon, I had just bought a bunch of skin care products by Philosophy called Amazing Grace, and I groomed three dogs named Grace.

She had to be Grace.

I named my Pepper White MCS "rattlebox". Although the car is so much fun to drive and it looks great, I have never been in car that is noisier than this one. Everything rattles would be a understatement.

My MSCa is "Jersey". She's not named after the state, however (even though I am in Jersey). She's named after the Jersey cow (a small breed of dairy cattle). Since she is Pepper White and the color is really more of a cream/'milk', I decided it fit.

My '09 MCS is a proper British chap (BRG/BRG w/Tuscan and wood). It's my daily commuter, so he's my sidekick. With that in mind, I gave him a very fitting name - Penfold.

My daughter came up with the name "Thor". Thor is the red-haired and bearded god of thunder in Germanic mythology. After some mods I thought it fit.
