    Looks like everything under the sun shows up in this forum -- I enjoy the variety of topics! Just saw someone's car name, and wonder about the rest of you. I named my new Prius-C "Wunjo" -- the Viking Rune for "JOY." The first car I named when I was 4 years old was a 1952 Pontiac: "Miss Uppy."

    There are only two named cars that should exist: The General Lee and Elanor.

    Any others should never be said out loud.

    Mystery Machine? Mach 5? Ecto-1? Bondmobile? Batmobile? Black Beauty? Bumblebee? Christine? Big Foot? Come on man, one of these should deserve to have a name.

    We all have our opinions.

    Any of those you listed may have a case. But contrast those against what civilians name their cars.

    No. Just no.

    So because amateurs are involved, nobody gets any pie? That's like saying that because the general public doesn't know how to wire a house for electricity, nobody should do it. I'm confused... especially since you gave two examples.

    My wife's summer rain metallic C3 is called The Peep, it was the first thing I thought of when we saw it on the lot - a light blue marshmallow peep.

    I named mine Cindy. I was stuck between Cindy and some other names but Cindy sounded the most natural...

    A yellow Prius named Daisy. I didn't think it up, I had a dream and ...well that's it. I've named every car I have ever had.
