My first car was a '72 Ford Torino handed down to me from my Dad in 1983. He had named it Charlie. My Mom's car way back then was a '72 Dodge Polara she named Lucy. Where those names came from, I have no idea. Interestingly, I don't recall them naming any cars after that...
I have never named any of my cars...although, as noted above, I have invented a few colorful adjectives when working on them.
At one point, I had a 91 ZR-1 and my 2014 Z51 in my stable at the same time. The ZR-1 was named "Beast" and having the beautiful RBM Convertible next to it gave us the idea for "Beauty". So, that's the name that stuck.

My C7 is named Nibbs. Part of the name of the dealer i bought her from. Great experience and unfortunately the great sales person I bought it from passed.

Always named my cars, always rub the steering wheel when I notice 00 as the last 2 digits on the odometer, always ask them for a good trip before we leave out to drive a long way, and Thank them for the good safe trip when we get home. I feel like its good karma and If I show them respect and appreciation they with return the gesture,
I know Corny but never been left on the side of the road yet...
That was my dream car as a kid. The name kind of comes from that, but my girlfriend thought her car could take mine. I told her that her car would be the nail and I would be the sledgehammer. The name stuck.
