Jolene.

She's our first car and when we first got her DP became obsessed over her Envy

Uberbeeboo · 26/08/2018 20:12

My first car was a 106 called Betty biscuit tin and my current car is Jaffa because she is completely black but has bright orange seats!!

LadyKyliePonsonbyFarquhar · 26/08/2018 20:13

Tinky winky because it's purple.

ImNotAFlower · 26/08/2018 20:14

Ours was christened "Umicar" by the toddler and it has stuck 🤔

DramaAlpaca · 26/08/2018 20:15

Sylvia because she's silver.

didyouseetheflaresinthesky · 26/08/2018 20:16

The car. Or occasionally "Cunt" when it won't start.

Dahlietta · 26/08/2018 20:16

The Polo. I think I'm rebelling against the fact that as long as I can remember, whenever I acquired any kind of inanimate object, from an umbrella to a washing machine, my mother's first question has been, "What are you going to call it?" Her car is called Harold.

MsHomeSlice · 26/08/2018 20:16

I name cars, but having said that the last two of dh's have not been named. :o I shall ponder and name them soon I think. Ds2 has the meriva now, and dh is rattling about in the crappy ford, but I think they do deserve names.

We tend to go with something from the numberplate, but have had two multiplas both called Matilda. And two fiats both called Go-Go....the first one was called Go-Go cos dd would yell that from the back seat whenever I even paused at a junction....and it stuck for the next one.

Our car is "Bob" - named by middle daughter when she was tiny. Bob is getting very old and may have to be retired soon, so our next car will be "Bob too".

My bike is called Big Bertha as she is big.

TheGirlWhoLived · 26/08/2018 20:18

Beepy.... reg starts with BP and also when the salesman was showing us the car he accidentally lent on the horn Grin

ScrommidgeClaryAndSpunt · 26/08/2018 20:21

"Car" most of the time.

"That bloody car" when it costs me money (which, fortunately, it doesn't all that often. Yet.)

polkadotpixie · 26/08/2018 20:24

My current car doesn't have a name yet but I've previously had Leroy, Sylvester, Frank & Eugene. All my cars are old men 😂

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 26/08/2018 20:24

@Dahlietta, I don't normally name things either. Graham was special! I think he'll be a 1 off!

Iamclearlyamug · 26/08/2018 20:25

My mini Cooper is called Maureen, my first car was a Micra called prudence 😂😂

ravenia · 26/08/2018 20:26

Her name is Elsa :p

birdonawire1 · 26/08/2018 20:28

My car, as opposed to your car.

TomHardysNextWife · 26/08/2018 20:28

Mine is called Furiosa. She roars Grin. And has serious attitude. I luffs her.

PavlovaFaith · 26/08/2018 20:29

I love naming my cars... over the years we've had:
Kipper the Corsa
Toby the Focus
Ruby the Fiesta
Blue the Golf
Audi A3 remained anonymous for some reason.
Lydia the C'eed
Vera the Juke
Fergie the Sorento
Second Golf with no name!

PavlovaFaith · 26/08/2018 20:29
