    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.

    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.

    Mustang sally...I love it! My brother had a car way back when and we named it the Mean Mustard Machine cause it was the ugliest color EVA! I guess I've never named anything else but I always thought how cool it would be to own a property with a name. Like Tara in Gone With The Wind. I would call a property or a boat Avalon I think.
