My wife named our '17 ZO6....
"Mr. Sparkles". 
She drove Mr. Sparkles to work today. Sometimes he's bad, getting a little more frisky than she intends, like getting a little sideways and laying down some black stripes when she was pulling out into a narrow gap in traffic from work the other day. But he's been a good boy today, so far.

I don't know... do you think that a car like the C7 ZO6 really needs a "macho" name? Wouldn't that be "posturing" a little too much? 
The Harley aftermarket uses product names like "Big Dog" and "Panty-Dropper". Doesn't that start to get a little corny?

^^^ My suggestions is to NOT name the car at all. Once you start naming the car, other things get named.....if you know what I mean.
Totally unnecessary to name anything. Just call it the "Corvette" or the "Z".

Well When I got mine a lot of people offered some really great names like: banana split, Laffy taffy and then yellow jacket (too Georgia Tech). I wasn't gonna name her until my wife suggested "Hornet" in honor of my son who's serving our Country in the U.S. Navy with an F-18 squadron 
so, Hornet it is, God Bless America!!!

When I bought the ZO6 my wife was unenthusiastic about the purchase, to say the least. She referred to it as my "flashy car". And that has been its name in my household ever since.
