Reminds me of when I owned a Renault 5: I called it Perky - because it pinked...

Glad it isn't just me that names cars.

So far I have had Nellie,  1991 Nissan Sunny.

Phylis,  a 1979 Mk1 Fiesta

Dinky, a 1984 Mk1 Sierra XR4i (still got this one)

A 2005 Nissan Almera that is just called The Datsun (still got this one)

And the latest addition to the fleet a bright yellow Mini One D called Peril.

I had a Renault 4 called Phyllis, I wondered if you named yours for the same reason I named mine. :)

Grandma named it. It was her car first.

We have had a Triumph Herald called Red Rocket, an Austin Maxi called Bluebell, another called Foxy, a Citroen XM called Monsieur Pompidou and a Nissan X-Trail called Olive. Our last 2 cars - both Honda CRVs have not been named. Our boat has been Windmill Lady since she was launched, well before our time. So named, I believe, because she used to live in a boat shed behind the windmill at Horning.

Being too lazy to sift all the way through this thread has any one mentioned the boat called "Moist Beaver II" around on the broads? The bit that surprises me most is that they must have had 2 boats called moist beaver.
