name your(MY) Corvette/
Have any of you given your Corvette a name?..My wife thinks we should give our '78 Silver Anniversary Corvette a name..
Something catchy and fitting for the car's vintage and ours..
finally retired we are..
It's now pretty much rebuilt-restored to better than factory original condition-roadability and appearance..
58K original miles with L48 Engine overhauled inc.performance headers..Yes she runs great..Totally reliable..
Any thots on a good name we might consider..
It's our first ever fun car in all our years of marriage and five great children.
I have never named any of the many vehicles I've owned driven in 60+ years..Tried never to call them bad names either..

Of our ten cars, the only with a name is the BMW 2002. Our 12 year old daughter named it "Gump" because it's forest green. I'm not sure how that will go when we change it back to its original Sahara, but I suspect it will stick. I would ask the grandkids for advice.

I always found it interesting why some people named their cars and called them a "she." A few things I found out... there's actually a name for doing that, and in a surprise, women and younger people are more likely to bame their cars, rather than the older, car crazy guy I would have expected:

Why do people name their cars?
Driving Miss Daisy, or Jimmy, or Foo Foo
While many of us might confess to calling our car names when it won't start or breaks down, some people give their cars pet names, even petting them like the family dog and talking to them as if they were listening.
It's called anthropomorphism, the practice of suggesting human characteristics for animals (dogs playing poker, perhaps) or other inanimate objects - like your car for instance. Cars may technically be inanimate, but we don't necessarily think of them that way.
Why is it that you might name your car, but you would never give a name to your TV set, refrigerator or your sofa?
The experts have some theories: Cars move, making them animate objects. People think cars are alive. We personalize our cars with our stuff. Cars are a thing of pride.
“Cars are certainly more personal objects than refrigerators are, and a source of more personal pride,” said Cleveland Kent Evans, associate professor of psychology, Bellevue University. “Vehicles of any kind are probably also more likely to be named simply because they move in the course of their normal use, and so are more easily to think of like they were animate objects instead of inanimate ones.”
True. But lawnmowers and vacuum cleaners move, and it's not generally acceptable to say, “I need to vacuum, will you get `Sucky' out of the closet for me?”
“People name their cars because they're `alive',” said Ray Browne, professor of popular culture, emeritus, Bowling Green State University. “People used to name their wagons and buggies, as well as their horses, cows, dogs and cats. Some even name their houses now as well as their estates and other artifacts of culture close to them. They carry this intimacy closer in their pet names.”
And even though cars are mass-produced, we personalize our cars with familiar smells, sounds and stuff like the picture of the kids taped to the dashboard or the tassel from graduation that hangs from the rear view mirror.
“I think that many of us spend a lot of time with our cars, not just driving/riding in them, but keeping them running, and counting on them to get us places,” said Ed Liebow, senior research scientist and associate director at Battelle's Center for Public Health Research in Seattle. “Many important things happen to some of us in cars -- relationships begin, grow stronger, end -- we listen to the radio or sound system and associate what we hear with powerful emotions. In short, our cars are not just utilitarian appliances. They occupy meaningful places in our lives. And despite being mass produced, they are individualized.”

Baby, Want to Name My Car? Younger and Female Car Owners Most Likely to Name Their Vehicles
New consumer study from DMEautomotive illuminates a powerful emotional connection between consumers and their vehicles; top names include ‘Baby,’ ‘Betsy,’ ‘Bessie,’ ‘Black Beauty,’ and ‘Betty’
Daytona Beach, FL – January 13, 2014 – Women and younger car owners are the most likely to give a nickname and associate a gender to their vehicles’, according to a new report from DMEautomotive. The survey on car-naming behavior investigates the depth of the emotional connection between consumers and their cars as represented by the degree to which they personify and ascribe a gender to their vehicles. The survey was fielded among approximately 2,000 consumers in 2013, and also revealed that one in five car owners nickname their vehicles.
“While these findings, on the surface, are just plain fun…they also offer an interesting, even counter-intuitive perspective on the relationships car owners, especially women and the young generation, develop with their vehicles,” said Doug Van Sach, DMEautomotive’s Vice President, Strategy and Analytics. “The accepted cliché is that men have a more passionate, personal relationship with their beloved cars, while women view them as utilitarian machines that get you from Point A to B. But this research provides a different insight: women are significantly more likely to christen their vehicles, and also associate a female gender with them, while more men perceive their vehicles as male. And while we’ve seen numerous headlines on the fact that millennials are the least car-passionate generation in history, they’re far more likely to personify and name their vehicles. This indicates an emotional and personal vehicle attachment in these demographics, one that auto marketers might want to explore and leverage.”
Key Research Findings:
Vehicle Relationship Building Begins with a ‘B’
• 1 in 5, an estimated 50 million consumers (Experian data, 247.9 million cars on US roads. November, 2013), name their vehicles
• 1 in 4 vehicle nicknames begins with a ‘B’
Mostly She-Cars
• Twice as many female cars (32%) on the road as male (16%)
• 49% of owners identify their cars as either male or female
• Vast majority of women (88%) view their vehicle as female
• Men split on gender: 55% associate their vehicle as female /45% as male
• Women more likely to give their vehicle a name (23%) than men (18%)
•
Young Much More Likely to Name Cars than Older People
• Car owners aged 18-34 are more than twice as likely (32%) to name their car than those 35+ (15%).
• 18-24 year old car owners are roughly 4 times more likely (40%) to name their car than those over 55 (13%) and are the most likely to associate a gender with their car (69%).
• Twice as many owners over 65 (63%) don’t perceive their vehicles as being either male or female, compared with those aged 18-24 (31%).

I was going to suggest 'Annie' for being an Anniversary 78.
I was going to name mine Norma Jeane, but it never stuck... so My 77 is mostly referenced as th following:
The 77
The racecar (usually around youngsters)
And... The dirtball

Member F22 named his 74 "Sassy". I think that's the coolest! 
Ours became "The Little Red Car" because when my wife and I were just dating, I never told her I had a Corvette. if I was doing something to/in the car I was "tinkering with the little red car" or "went cruising in the little red car." After she found out, it just kind of stuck!

My wife and I bought our '71 after it had been sitting for 31 years. We named it "Aurora" after the Disney princess Sleeping Beauty, because we brought it back to life after it was sleeping for so long.

thot about "Phoenix " as any 39 year old car has been sorta raised from the ashes to fly again..
or maybe "Last Lady"..
Wife and I prolly won't have another special mate in this life.All the good years wife and I have spent together..don't think anyone else could put up with me..:0
And don't think We'll ever buy another fun vehicle...My own life expectancy is measured in weeks now since brain surgery and radiation-chemo for a glioblastoma multiforma IV brain tumor..But hope to take a few more pleasant rides in the Corvette, before I depart.Jim

I'm not much a namer, but there are exceptions! I like Bucket of Bolts, and I know a boat named Phoenix (a story in itself). My sailboat is named 'Hlin' after the Germanic goddess of comfort and consolation.
