Hm, that's sounds like a whole different sort of service to me Oakthorn Grin

Our main car doesn't have a name for some reason, but our little run around is called Pauline.
We always use female pronouns when talking about her, as it feels weird not to. All of our friends and family also call her Pauline too.
Not sure if the main car feels left out by this...

Cerys. She's from Wales (CY plate) so it seemed fitting. She's also a complete pain in the arse, so apologies to all Ceryses out there.

Our 4 year old DD called ours Bluebell Sparkles. Shocking name.

My green scenic is called Daisy Tinkerbell (she's very poorly and heading for the scrapheap) She's also my first car and I will be devastated when she does go.

My other car, a blue passat is called Kizzy - she'll be roadworthy within the next week, and will replace Daisy :(

Dad's focus is called Kevin - he calls everything Kevin, our guinea pigs growing up were called Kevin 1, Kevin 2 and Kevin 3 Wink Wink Wink

Does anyone else make names out of reg plates when out and about?

We make a game of it when we're travelling, some private reg's are hilarious.

There's a car on our estate whose plate is 'FFS'. I think they get a bit pissed off regularly haa

My saxo was called the passion wagon as I was single at the time. My polo was called penny and I've just got a beetle I've named Ringo!

Fluffysunshinepants · 29/08/2018 23:20

Previously we owned Bertie, my new car is Cecil

Halfahunnerstillastunner · 29/08/2018 23:38

The FuckBucket. Not for amorous reasons, I just don't love it so it gets a crap name!
Previously had Henry the Honda and Sigmund the Skoda.

TheMadGardener · 30/08/2018 00:41

Our previous car was small and German so it got called Little Hans.

Current car is Japanese so we tried to think of a Japanese name for it but none of them stuck. It is now called Seb as part of the number plate is COE.

My DSis is the one who has truly bizarre names for her cars. Her current car is called Mister Periwinkle The Third. Don't ask why. (And that's really outing me if anyone on here knows her and her car!!)

My current car is Oreo.
She's sexy and orange.

However when did orange become so trendy? Now I'm spotting orange cars everywhere, so Oreo has to go.

MrsFrTedCrilly · 30/08/2018 02:25

Angela (as in Angela Merkel) solid sensible German car.
Although I will always remember Amadaaaah the Panda with great fondness

I do my best when I have the glasses on.

c3pu · 30/08/2018 08:24

I try to give my cars intimidating names.

I've had "The Daewoo of Doom" and the "Rover of Revenge". Not come up with anything for the Skoda yet though :(

pasanda · 30/08/2018 08:35

Kenzie as the number plate is KNZ.

Last one was Riley because that number plate was RLY.

Kids call them that too. I can't imagine having a car without a name now! Grin

Walkerbean16 · 30/08/2018 09:27

daisy - because the registration reads daisy and some other letters.

wildbhoysmama · 30/08/2018 09:27
