Do you name inanimate objects- cars?

Ever since I can remember we've always named our cars. Every person I've ever lived with has done the same.

I can remember one named Prudence
one named RJ
one named Clemintine
(I dont have stories as to why they were named this- N I guess I was too young to ask.- But Im calling my aunt tomorrow to find out why?

My mom use to have an old Datson Truck named Fickle.
(It never wanted to start in the morning. Unless he felt like it.) I hated that fucking truck- never did get me to school on time.
Thats another thing- How can you figure out if your car should have a girl or boy name?
My Other aunt had a copper car named Penny.- *girl*

My first car was GIGI- ??? dont remember why- wish I did.*girl
I named my second car Jewle cuz it had sparkley paint.
*girl

I got a brand spanking new van in 2000 and my kids named it Squirtle cuz of the color. Aqua
Pokemon *boy*- I think???

Whats your cars name?

My truck's name is Hank. My ex-gf named him that, but it's so appropriate.

My fender strat is named Lacy after a girl I had a crush on in high school.

my amplifier is called big dave. because it's big. and erm, dunno about the dave part to be honest.
All my guitars have names too. ladies names. Guitars are definitely a thing of femal gender.

Urm yeah I do that

My car is Goober (because the last three reg numbers are GBU - aren't I original).

My main computer is Prue, my decent laptop is Piper and my second laptop is Phoebe (an annoying bitch that causes no end of grief).

Thats about it.... and sorry for any Charmed fans annoyed by the Phoebe ref But damn just so fitting IMO

My car is named Betty

named my friends car Alice
named my first bottle of schnapps Alice
I have two named belts, Judith and Magdalena
My computer is Malice
My PS2 is Sara Femme

no, if the object in question wishes to tell me its name it will. oddly, i have found that, unlike people, the souls of inanimate objects understand the inherent power in true names and are not so quick to give them away.

with that said, i occasionally nick name things in response to how they treat me. for example, my iBook (who as i type is murmuring quietly to itself about me talking about it) is called The Finn. if you read enough modern fiction you'll get it, and so far The Finn seems to be flattered by the comparison. i've never asked it for its real name though, i should think that would be rather rude.

In reality all atoms in any oject vibrate, thus nothing is inanimate unless it is below absolute zero, howver, some argue that there is still vibration present but this slow vibration would be undectable by today's standards.

because girls rule and boys drool

My Oldsmobile is just simply known as "THE Olds", that is it's name. Kind of cocky huh?

my computer is called Wintermute. although the comparison is somewhat shaky.

My first Mustang, a '73, was called The Beast. It was far from it, actually. Other's called it Kermit because it was green...medium metallic green exterior with Avocado interior(yuck!).

I haven't found a suitable name for my '69 Mustang Mach 1 yet.

My computer is named Psychofreak.

my boyfriends car is called mr bitch. its pretty snazzy.
i don't really go into naming things because i can never decide on names for my pets so i would be in turmoil if i had to name other stuff.

I named my calculator Samantha when I was in 10th grade. still have her *sniffle*

My '68 Malibu was named "Roxy" because she was a badass chik who'd punch you in the face quicker than ask your name.

My '50 Schwinn is named "Skully" because it has a chrome skull mounted on the front fender.

My car is named Lil' Fhilly
