Does your car have a name?

No, or if it has it hasn't told me!

Yes name based round the registration plate. Current car is Kev. ( Reg starts KV.....)

This one is called Numpty also based around the number plate.

My first car was called 'woody' taken from the reg plate WDY . I haven't been able to make anything out of subsequent reg plates until the current one which is called 'yusuf'

This car we call Dusty. We haven't named any others apart from when the children were small and we had a volvo that we called Sherman.

BlueBell, guess who thought that one up. Never had a blue car before, this one is very bright blue.

I've never named my cars, but the previous owners of 2 cars I had named them. A red Ford fiesta was called Betsy and a red Renault 5 GTX was called Ruby. Wish I still had the Renault 5.

Not lately. Our last named car was Gordon as in Gordon Bennett. Explains itself really.

I have never named any car I have owned.

My mother's first car was named Nero (reg NRO) but no other named cars since then.

No, naming cars seems a step too far ( in the wrong direction)

I was going to say no, never. But thinking about it, the current one, and one other, did have a name because of the number plate. hmm.
The current registration plate happens to be related to where I live, so people do call the car by that name.

Ours is Mitsi, as she is a Mitsubishi. Once had a great lump of a Maxi, number plate NSX, so she was No Sex.

I don't usually name them but my little Citroen has GF in the registration number so she's become Girl Friend.

Yes, always. I didn't start driving until I was 35; my first car was Miss Ellie (plain but reliable) and at present I have Poppy (bright red, of course). In between - and I usually keep my cars for several years - I've had Clovis, Guinevere, Iris, Alfie & Babe.

I once owned a car with the registration letters HZB. I called it Hezbollah. It was dark green, and an awful thing to drive, most unreliable. It's the only car I've ever named.
I call my vacuum cleaner at work Geraldo! It's a big green cleaning machine and seems to suit it.

Named my second car Ollie, Just because I thought it suited him - he looked a bit owl like. Definitely a male car. The first car didn't survive long enough to get a name!

I have an old french car and my DH calls it my ohh la la car

Iris, because of the colour, a dark purply blue!

Auntieflo the 'woody' as mentioned above was a Maxi it was a delightful yucky mustard colour.

Rarely have names for our cars unless they have a 'personality' but we do tend to use the number plate to invent a phrase for a mnemonic so that it is easy to remember the registration details. DH usually leaves it to me as he is no good at inventing one always able to remember it anyway except when he forgets.

When I was a kid we had motor scooters - the first 2 were NSU Primas, Millicent and Phoebe (no idea - don't ask!), then my dad decided to go for a huge German Heinkel brute, which I immediately named Hank. When scootering days were past, they bought a Reliant Robin, which my mum (reluctantly - she was not suited to main roads) drove. The first time I saw her trying to leapfrog down the road, we immediately christened the new family member Kanga. DH and I never gave names to our cars (apart from our Ford Anglia, none had any great personality).

I like Ana's reply to this - I feel that unless it has a personality we tend not to give more or less inanimate objects names.

Only the satnav. Janet.
