Nicknaming my car

Does your car have a nickname?

Have you seen the movie Gone in 60 seconds? Well I did and do you remember how the Shelby GT 500 was nicknamed? Well it was known as "Eleanor". So I was thinking time has come to pick a nickname for my car. But this kind of decision cant be made without your feedback, oppinions and suggestions.

I was reading the list of cars of Gone in 60 seconds movie, and I was noticing 2 things: I think men like to give girlie nicknames to their belongings (car, computer, dishwashing machine) and all car girl's names in the movie are very cute for pick one to my car.

Well my fellow readers, I would like to hear about your car nicknames if any or how do you think you probably will nickname not only your car but your most beloved item (PC perhaps?).

Also, in the process, you could help me to choose a good nickmame for my car. ^^

I dont pretend to choose from a long list so here is a shortened list of my picks but if you consider I should be thinking in another name, dont hesitate to let me know:

* Alice - I like this name and reminds me of Alice in wonderland and Resident Evil movie.
* Eleanor - with limited (or zero) imagination capabilities for thinking in another nickname. The only problem is that my car isnt a Shelby GT.
* Henrietta - Mainly because of Gunslinger girl show.
* Asuka - are Evangelion characters a good idea for naming a Eva or a car instead?
* Ashley - I hope the Olsen twins dont get mad.
* Winry, Saber, Miku - I love this names but I would be a little shy to introduce my nickname's car to non-otaku friends.

I don't have a car, but I do name some stuff! And yeah, I use girls names. ^_^' {My PC is named Suisei...like my mascot. =3= }

I like Alice. That's a nice name for a car.

lol people give names to their dish washers? That's pretty funny.

I like Alice to but I think I like Winry more. It's different and I like that.

I don't really have a name for my car but since it has a Haruhi decal on it I sometimes refer to it as the Haruhi-mobile.

I'd recommend a really elaborate name. Like Excelsior!

Or Might Gaine!

Or Dancouga! Yeah, let's go with Dancouga.

Just go with the easy one like Miku or whatever short. Don't forget to put a Miku itasha sticker after you named it. XD

Mine is named cuca. Yes, its a scarab, and yes lots of people call them that way but its fun. I call her cotorra sometimes, hahaha o la peligrosa. I never found a name that made her the honor of her beauty :D

My laptop is called "nalga" wahaha i dunno whats wrong with me but i always try to keep it funny.

My brother-in-law's old volvo is called Matilda, which i think it's a perfect name. I like those which arn't too popular, like Ashley (sorry...) ;D
