    Still up in the air for me. Possibilities still up for consideration are…

    “Sippy†(Boring, cute, and obvious.)

    “Gulpy†(Obviously meant sarcastically)

    “The Green Onyx†(She’s black, with green earth on her mind!)

    My friends named the XJ6 Princes and the X-type Dutchess.

    I named mine R2D2, because he is silver, and cute, and kind of round, like R2D2 is.

    Mine is the green car which gets confusing because my wifes RAV4 is green, my Toyota Crown is Turquoise and the Prius is silver.

    "Amapola," Spanish; poppy. Reasons:
    1. Seductive Barcelona red exterior
    2. Song, "Amapola," begins; "A boy found a dream upon a distant shore..." ((1941, Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, vocals by Jeanette McDonald and Bob Eberly (http://www.pcdon.com/-JimmyDorsey_Amapola.wav )
    3. Soon to be grandfather, "Poppi?"
    4. Reminder that recouping hybrid upgrade cost differentials through gas savings may be a pipe dream.

    My shiny green prius is named "Emily" and she talks to me ;)
    Technically only the nav system is "Emily"; but where's the anthropomorphism in naming a part of the car?

    Interestingly, the prius is the first car I've seriously named anything beyond "the car", "my car", "mini" or "toymotor" as appropriate.

    My wife and I who are both journalists, just named our new Magnetic Gray Prius the "Gray Lady," after the pinnacle of journalism, The New York Times.

    The New York Times was one of the last newspapers to print color photos which is why it was nicknamed the Gray Lady.

    Hey, I do that. The car itself is Tommy (for those who don't want to scroll back several pages, the full name is "Tom Swift and his Electro-Mechanical Auto-mobile"), but the nav system is Holly (from Red Dwarf).
