    My '09 Prius Package 3 is "Eleanor", after the '67 Mustang GT 500 in "Gone in Sixty Seconds." I know it's not a speed demon, but I am mesmerized with it the same way Nicholas Cage was with Eleanor. I have always named my cars, so this is nothing new for me. I also name my weapons....

    I let my little sister name my prius, HaBeepBeep. She named it after the ever-so-menacing prius horn. :)

    Your little sister might be Israeli -- "HaBeepBeep" means "The Beep Beep" in Hebrew.;)

    My wife and I named our '09 metallic grey "Smoke Monster", after the smoke monster in the TV show Lost.

    We just got a silver '11 and we haven't given it a name yet.

    Just bought an '11. I was going to name her Raven because she's black and my friend named his Blackbird (a plus is that I bought her in Baltimore, home to Edgar Allen Poe)... but my friend at work came up with a better name: PRIscilla. Priscilla it is.

    We just got our Prius last night. She seems to respond to Zonkey. A hybrid name for a hybrid car. Works for me!!

    Another zombie thread, back from the dead!


    Pris would be a good name, too - after one of the replicants in Blade Runner, played by Daryl Hannah.

    Mine is named Siilver (with Spanish pronunciation, like 'Seelvair'), since it is a silver Prius Two (ii) and my previous car, a silver Corolla, was named Silver (as in Hi Ho, Silver, Away!).
