    I hope this isn't too silly, but I've noticed that several people have named their car. It's kind of a tradition in my family, too.

    So, what did you name your Prius? Mine is Domo, and the Nav is Patience (she has her own voice, she gets her own name!).

    And here's a pic:

    Momi Kai, which is Hawaiian for Sea Pearl. (Her color is Sea Glass Pearl.) We named our portable GPS Portia.

    I never named any of my previous cars, but this one is so smart I'm considering it. I'm leaning towards naming him Bruno.

    I've never named any of my vehicles, but if I was to name the Prius, it would be Jimmy........... as in Jimmy Durante. My Prius has exactly the same nose as Jimmy. JimmyDurante.jpg.jpg

    I did not, but my kids think it looks like a Rocketship. So, it's affectionately known as Daddy's Rocketship.

    My mother used to name her vehicles.

    I've kept on with the tradition.

    But I haven't yet come up with a name for my Prius. I don't force these things. Eventually the right name will become obvious.

    My Black Honda Fit I named "Bellatrix". The name fit.

    I'm not sure yet what I'm going to call The Prius. But eventually there will be a name.

    I officially dubbed my fully loaded (with every option) 2008 Prius T Spirit (a.k.a. Touring in the US) the "Phoenix Fantasy" or very often in passing, "The Spaceship". My last car, a black Mazda MX-3 was called "Dark Angel". I've had other cars go by the names "Defiant", "Voyager", "BatMobile" and my first ever car "Foxbat" (as in MIG-25.......well, it WAS a cheap, bright orange, crude but very reliable rear engined Skoda built in the old Czechoslovakia circa 1983 - went like a BAT out of.....). Phoenix Fantasy is the name of a replacement Passenger Space Liner in a science fiction trilogy I'm presently writing. Spaceship, because of the way it powers up every time I drive it. That startup sequence just blows my mind. And that 1950's / 1960's retro style futuristic dashboard? Highly appreciated!!! :D
