What should I name my car?
After a three month wait, my car is finally in "Finally Assembly"! I'm expecting to have it within the next two months. What do you all think I should name him?
Here are the names I've shortlisted - Wellington Stanley (Stan) Stanton Karl-Heinz Otto Felix Whitney (guy's name, too) Ralf Loren |

Cars are all female no? No one says "he's a beauty" or "he's in the shop".

when i raised this question to my wife after taking delivery on my M2C, she quickly retorted, 'don't be a douche.' that pretty much ended the conversation.
interestingly, however, my wife has unofficially dubbed my car 'the bitch'. as in, 'oh, so you're taking the bitch on a lunch time joyride?' Quote:

I'm with the others who suggested using female names. It might be too creepy for you when you say "Stanley, take me home" to navigate home and a female voice responds with "perfect, it'll be nice to be home"
Fwiw, I feel less douchy when I say "hey Oksana, roll down my window" than I would saying "hey BMW, roll down my window", so you really should name it
