Name for car.

Got a really good deal on a new car yesterday so splashed out. It's definitely a he and needs a name beginning with H for Hyundai. My current car is Hamish which I love, so was thinking Hamish 2. Unless anyone has any better ideas. My mum keeps suggesting girls names.

Are you keeping your current car, if not then can the name not just go to the new car?

I was about to admonish you Bertie for recycling names and not giving each car his or her own identity, but then you perfectly justified it.
You, however, are not naming the car but the little people, who would of course keep their names when they moved house.

My Hyundai is called Heidi.

Heathcliffe.

Though mine is called The Focus.

Does it need Diamond brute applying? Is it worth £300?

Ex motor sales exec here - not worth it, especially as it costs £20 lol.

As it's a Hyundai - Hirohito?

Toddlerteaplease · 09/07/2022 10:56

@BertiesShoes I'm not keeping the current one. And have made the mistake of mentioning it to my brother in law who is going straight for the jugular, telling me he's had phone calls from A very distressed Hamish. (Current car) He knows exactly how to wind me up as I live that car!

The dealers have it back so am going to see it today and hopefully the name will become clear.,(can't have it until they have a replacement for it)

I asked DH and he suggested Hetty or Henrietta

fpurplea · 09/07/2022 11:32

I'm deeply amused at all the cars here that have names starting with H. For me, all blue cars are called Henry, and since I am one of THOSE people who only choose blue cars, I'm currently on Henry V. Except she's a convertible, which are apparently girls (just don't ask. I don't know why, that's just what my brain insists) so she's actually Henrietta.

Stellaris22 · 09/07/2022 11:35

Our car has a registration starting with H so also has a name beginning with H.

fpurplea · 09/07/2022 11:36

AAAAAAAAAAAnd I've just realised that's because you asked for H name suggestions. I'm an idiot. 😩

Toddlerteaplease · 09/07/2022 11:43

I'm very tempted to always call my cars Hamish. Currently leaning towards Henry-Hamish

I had a Hyundai and called it Tallulah because it was a Touran 😆

pbj · 09/07/2022 11:54

I can’t tell you my car’s name as it is outing Grin (cars must have names!)

I think Hamish 2 is unfair on the new car. Horace? Horatio? Humphrey? Hal? Hank?

or maybe it will end up being a she? Hester? Hilary? Hannah? Helen?

coffeecupsandfairylights · 09/07/2022 11:58

My first car was called Maisie. Current car is Rosie.

They're all girls for some reason! DH refuses to name his car 😉

Are you 17 and it's your first car? If not, tragic.

Bit unkind?

We have always named our cars. Young adult dc have followed on the tradition.
I am currently driving aground in Troy. DS owns Gonzalez and DD has a Neville!

Both DC were thrilled to discover their current partners are also car namers. As is my sister. And my closest friend….

TheNinthLock · 09/07/2022 12:22

Aground? Hopefully not! Around!

Toddlerteaplease · 09/07/2022 12:34

Went to meet him and they've lent it out again. Arghhhh! But collecting on Thursday anyway. Took another one out for a drive instead.

Got the car. Don't think he's a Henry. Possibly a Hildegard. My sister says it's an angry car, looking from the front.

Horatio?
