    Do you name your car/inanimate possessions?

    Some recent posts about new cars have made me wonder if I'm insane..no comments from the peanut gallery! I've always named my cars. I currently have a black 2005 Saturn Ion named Sam as in Samantha Stevens from Bewitched. My friend had a convertable Rabbit back in the day named Shebop. My sister's car is Fred. Anyone else?

    My car's named Turtle. I always have named my car, and name all my stuffed animals, and the little figurines on my desk, too! My previous cars were all named.

    I have owned dozens of cars and have never named even one. I can think
    of a few names %$*& I have thrown at one or two but nothing official.

    I have usually referred to my cars by what they were make wise. Right now we have 3
    cars , with descriptive names like "The Mazda", "The Audi" and "The VW".

    Nope.. I sure don't name my cars. Sometimes I'll refer to it as The Beast.. and when my brother returned it to me after borrowing it while his was in the shop.. He called it The Tank. I've known others who name them, but to me.. its the Xterra.

    No names here. Mine is the car and Bruce's is the truck, which I sometimes refer to as the Monster. His previous Yukon was the Beast.
    When I was a child I had names for all my stuffed animals. It's actually very strange that I don't name everything since I am such a name fanatic.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I always name my cars, and my parents do too. My Aspire was unofficially named Eeyore but I generally call it "the doodlebug". I also have a parts Aspire appropriately dubbed Scrappy. My Cobalt is Daisy. My first car was an '84 Cougar named Freddie (as in Freddie Mercury).

    My cars all had names:
    Blueberry, my first car, blue Honda hatchback (I was living in Maine, Blueberry country!)
    Black Stallion, black Honda Civic, had more horse power than Blueberry and took me some time to adjust, lol

    And now I have Carmine, my red Prius. Carmine means red, and after a 3 month wait, this "car is all mine." lol.

    Can't think of any other inanimate objects I've named, though.

    Sometimes they have formal names but I never use them. My car is officially Sectumsempra and my external hard drive is Squishy.

    I have never named a car... nor do I refer to it as a she or a he. My mum named my jeep "Olive", though. That word just puts a bad taste in my mouth.

    My computer is named "The Guru", though...

    My first car was a 1990 Ford Escort... Ellie Escort.
    My 2nd was a 1995 Mercury Cougar ... Jasmine, Jazz for short.
    My ex-husband had a black 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII called Storm.

    After I moved to Phoenix, I traded Jazz in and got a 2000 Dodge Lemon, err, Intrepid which I forget the name of, as it was referred to as "#(#)@ P.O.S." more often than anything else.

    Hubby and I now have a 2004 Mustang named Dixie and a 2006 Impala named Daisy.

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

    Yes of course, our car is Emma, because she is an emerald green colour,actually it is really teal, but hey close enough and my daughter has called her car the Beast, because it is quite a big car for her first car.
