99 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Oooh, I am SUCH an expert in naming cars (even if I do say so myself). Usually you can derive names from the following: 1. the number plate 2. the first letter of make/model - get a girl's name starting with the same letter 3. the colour of the car 4. something links the car to a character (can be quite obscure, aka "Hal", Fook's car - I'll let him explain if he has not done so already) For example, (presuming you want to name the car in the photo) if your car is a blue Toyota Corolla KE35, brainstorming could go like: The first letter of make/model - get a girl's name starting with the same letter: - Kitty - Karly - Kelli (etc, those are a bit lame though) - Toni - Toyo - Toto (um, still lame) The colour of the car - think of things dark blue: - Bluey - Cookie Monster OOooooooooooooooooh, I KNOW: Grover!!!! No, Super Grover!! :) My work here is done. Quote
demuire Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Hmm, no idea. I'm not really good at naming cars... Pinky the KE55 used to be known as Bodgy. Pinky cause of the pink pearl, Bodgy cause of the number plates 880GOY (and cause the car is kinda dodgy) Hal. Read 2001 Space Odyssey quotes, take note of first quote which is said by Hal (the computer that kills everyone): "I've just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It's going to go 100% failure in 72 hours." How ironic :) Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 I Just call mine "bitch" when it gets all tempermental on me.. Quote
99 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 My previous car names: - Oscar the Galant - grouchy and oscar the grouch coloured - Max the Honda Civic - for no other reason except there was this tiny Max Power sticker on one of the windows when I bought it - Dino the white Datsun 1600 - D for Dino; D for Datsun - (currently own) Firgus the WRX cos his number plate has FIR in it - (currently own) Redatto - the red rally Datsun 1600 - Redatto is the brother of Redwarf - about to sell Firgus and buy Jack the Jackaroo (named by current owner) There you go, told you I love naming cars Quote

Nitephyre Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 hehe Grover... cool :) Sakichi is mine, and that's because he was the son of Kiichiro Toyoda, founder of the Toyota empire.. also the Century was named in honour of Sakichi Toyoda's birth 100 years previous (1867) http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/about_toyota/history/1867.html Quote
