Default Does your Vette have a name?

My wife gets very emotionally attached to her cars. She names them. Typically I don't get attached to my DD's so they do not get a name. My Corvette is different. She deserves a name. At first my Competition Yellow was going to be "Bumble Bee" in honor of the Transformer's Camaro but my wife snagged that name for her yellow Juke. So I thought maybe "bid bird", of Sesame Street fame. But it just doesn't seem to fit. I think I'm going to go with "chicken little". Back in my youthful years I had a 57 Chevy that I dubbed "Chicken Little". I kinda like it. I'm still seeking a name for my bright orange C3. "Orangy" is just too cheesy. "Orange Crate" would be more appropriate. How about you? Any cool monikers on your Vette?

Occasionally, yes.. It would be a violation of posting rules to repeat it here, however.

Jessica, as in Jessica Rabbit

She looks drop dead gorgeous in red, has all the right curves in the right places and has a deep, sexy voice.

Just seemed natural to me.

Her name is Lady, the Lady, related to the character from the Black Company series of books:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Company_(novel)

She owns me with her great beauty and other items of power, similar to Croaker.

This is a great thread! Mine's called Adriana or AD for short.

I kept thinking of names and just went w/ Adriana bc of Adriana Lima. She was my celeb/super model crush as a teen. Cheesy but I dig the name and I take care of her like I would the real Adriana

The wife calls the Vette Betty, only cause it kinda rhymes. My name for her was Roxy, but it didn't stick. Now I just call her The Vette. I'll have to come up with something else if I get another one lol.

Suprisingly none of my vehicles have had names, many of my friends cars do and I call their cars by the names given to them, My trucks the truck and the Vettes the Vette when spoken about in conversation. I'd probably name them if I ever found a name that clicked and sounded right.
