i don't get the naming cars thing.
as far as i am concerned they are cars, take care of them as best you can and enjoy them, but it ain't a dog, it doesn't need a name.

I call her Laura. No real meaning behind it. It just sounds smooth, like the body lines.

i don't name my cars, but i believe they have certain personalities. for instance, my celica was a fun little car. My camaro has a sleek and mean personality to it. the pimpmobile lincoln has a laid-back, go with the flow attitude.
the celica and the camaro loved to be driven hard. I don't think the lincoln will like that as much.

if i were to think of a female name thats sexy and powerful........i'd look to history.....
I'd say Cleopatra is the perfect name that has both traits. Other names like Victoria and Elisabeth are the next closest i think, but lack the comprehensiveness of Cleopatra.
Sorry if they're lame, but i dont have any expierence at car names......unless they are called General Lee or The Mistery Machine......or of course the awsome A-Team van

Giana!! Stripper name? I love that name. If I have a daughter, thats top of the list.
as far as a name for a car.....no idea. Between my dad and I, we cant come up with a name. I just call her "Baby".
GF doesnt like that too much...but the car was there before she was.

I told you what you need to do. Sit in the car. Talk to it. You wont really get to know the car well until you drive it. Then you find out its likes and dislikes. Shelly "my car" doesnt really like to go fast, and refuses to go over 100, but she LOVES turns, and she really likes going for drives in the rain. A name will come to you and your car will either agree or disagree. Both the TA and me came to agree on "Shelly." Very all american sounding, kinda cute, but at the same time willing to work.

Just read the signature you cant spell camaro
But car names have never been my thing at all none of my 3 camaros had a name and i dont think F**ker or Piece of ***** would be considered names that I call my cars all the time.

I think that it's cool that you have asked for suggestions, but don't decide on anything until you have a chance to get behind the wheel for an afternoon and just cruise. That's the only way you can get a feel for the car.

my ss has many names.. piece of ****, Super-**** and others that would not be appropriate to list in a public forum, but mainly i just call it "the ss" which complicates things a little now that i have a 87 monte ss, and it was really bad when i had the 84 monte ss as well, boy did i confuse my frends. ok enough rambling, but back to my point... i never named any of my cars because they are inanimate objects, i dunno maybe its just me but you cant get attached to a car, trust me i know, ive had some nice ones i wouldnt mind still owning but you gotta move on.. ok now that i read what i typed it makes no real sense..oh well. btw my monte took its first "steps" today, out of my garage under its own power then in reverse back in. lol. i can almost get it out of my garage on move onto a new project.

My RS camaro used to go as; Really Slow, Ramming Speed, Real Shi**y, Runs Sometimes, but after getting into the 13's and driving the car ALL THE TIME it's upgraded to Red Sled. Only problem with the name is that my hood is black and the paint is coming off the front bumper  .
Names need to be technical and funny, not personified. Do you call your pets human names? I don't think so. Dog's name is Dave, or Bill, lol. Dave, come here boy... BAD DAVE, BAD!

hun... its spelled PUG no i. nd he was a great dog. i loved him. but yes Toby had a HUMAN name. just like my car will mostlikely have a HUMAN name. personal preference. thats all. lol not every car gets a name. but nice cars do. sumthin thats an eye turner does. nd mayb a trans am isnt to the average person... but it is to me. it deserves a name. especially if its gunna b a huge part of my life like that. yes... u can say i get attached to things pretty quickly... but i do it for good reasons... b/c if u look at it... i dont have much more then karl to get attached to (human wise at least) newayz im sure u guyz dont wanna hear about that... not to mention im not in the mood to talk about it. so yea... thats all...
