Help me pick a name

Nameless at 24k miles.

My biggest problem is that I don't know if my car is male or female. I feel like it looks (and will soon sound) a little too mean to be a female so I'm leaning towards male but am open to suggestions.

I'm looking for a classic British name. Something like Cecil, Nigel, Rupert, Paddington, Victoria or Annabelle.

I've never been one to name cars or bikes. Well, my Subaru Legacy was the "Da** Subaru," but I don't think that counts. It appears that my CTM's name is Penny. Driving home, "Bad Penny" popped into my head, I didn't like the connotation.

I figure it's kinda like dogs-he (or she) will tell you in due time.

Your car looks rather burley and fearless to me. I suggest Winston.

Yeah, this would be my first vehicle with a name. Still not really sure how I feel about it, honestly. Lol.

Drink whisky at a bar that has horse racing forms lying around. Drink and laugh at all the funny names of the horses until you think of the right one. Then, get a ride home to tell your car!
