Not sure what the answer to that would be, other than if male owned then the Mustang is the "Other Women" in the eyes of wives/G.F's. Many of my friends named the pets after car names.

 

Wow.. I would be in so much trouble with my wife.. lol

 

I've posted this before on other threads, but when my friends and I name vehicles we pick a name that is part of or the name of a song that fits the car.
My friends camaro was 'Bad Company'
A friend's big black truck was 'Night Train'
My '96 F250 is 'Freight Train'
My '92 F150 is 'Kit Shicker'
My wife's '66 is 'Sweet Sangria'
My '66 is 'Midnight Express'

I drive fast and the color is Midnight Blue Metallic.
My handle is 'Midnight' because I'm often up late burning the midnight oil and I'm a darker 'goth kid'
This is Midnight Express's song:

 

That's a great idea.. hadn't thought that direction..

I did joke with my wife i was gonna call it Elsa.. from the disney frozen movie.. (winter blue) but she hates the song.. let it snow.. let it snow!!! Hahaha.

To me, that car looks like an "Eastwood". It's no spring chicken, but lean, ready, and still handsome. It looks like it's been around the block a few times, taken some punishment, but is still standing. Tough, and a little mean. Not to be trifled with.

... and could maybe use some Eastwood products to freshen it up too. =)

Your car is classic, and I love it.


My own car named herself. She's Veronica.
I mostly drive my wife's old car, at least until Veronica's running again! She's "Poppy". A 2003 Yaris sedan. She started out as "Plastic Piece Of Crap", which, if you squint hard enough has some of the sounds to make "poppycock" as a nickname, and came back around to "Poppy".
My wife is now driving a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage (no she's not a car person) named Mira.
Dad's 1982 F250 (a much abused commercial work truck when he got it) was "Bouncing Betty Ford". It was a testament to her worn out suspension, and the likelihood that she'd kill or maim men much like the Vietnam-era mines. (Dad's a veteran). Also she was an older, but still attractive vehicle... lol

 

Ooooo... love the eastwood.. and heh.. she already has some Eastwood products on her! cool..

Hah! Great idea.. stories!

 

I’ve never had the inclination to give an inanimate object a pet name other than what it is.

 

Same here...I also don't give my vehicles a gender such as "she"....

 

33+ years…no name required or desired.

 

When my 67 vert fell in my lap 6 years back at an unbeliveale price i named Her the money pit because the first thing i purchased was a never ran Classic Inline fully ported alumn head . You have a small 6 Ford you know nothing is cheap for them that ups the power , nothing .
That thing cost a few bucks so there i was ,she.named her self . The name was just a reaction to that first big inital purchase .
Now its too late for a different name .

 

Hah!! But such a perfect name!!

 

My fleet, names mostly chosen by my wife.

1968 Mustang coupe = Irine
1997 4wd Suburban = Ben
2005 AWD Denali = Dafney
2006 2wd Tahoe = Earl

 

Lucky you. My wife's name's for mine are a ugly hunk of junk.another piece of junk & more junk . Then there is my favorite a rusty hunk of junk . Guess you get the drift of.her feeligs for my cars .
She can't see past the fact they are old cars thus ragged,rusty and/ or in need of.some love .

Kind of like my oh boy a cat then some more cats . And i like cats . Especialley Radar that little cat/ dog.
But not her she hates all my cars equaley.

Me i could care less . I'm still looking for that next one. Car that is .

 

Your 69 Grande looks like Old Blue to me.

 

Ahhh.. I like that one

 

"Expletive deleted” most of the time.

 

I get that..

 

+1 for Eastwood

My wife named my 67 coupe "The Chariot." Not sure why....

 

I think you should name it "Snow Miser" after one of my favorite Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. Or, better yet, name it "Thrym" after the king of the frost giants in Norse mythology! Honestly, "Khione" after the godess of snow in Greek mythology would work too.

My family has never been into naming cars but my stepdad had a 2020 Trail Boss that got nicknamed "Gil" or sometimes we called it "Favor". My white Mustang will probably get named "Shadowfax" but I'm still thinking.

Other than the fact I have no clue on how to pronounce those names.. that's pretty good idea.. thanks!

 

I understand the Shadowfax reference but cannot shake the fax machine connotation in my mind. I know a lot of folks here may have little idea of what a fax machine or fax is but it was a key part of the work world a long time ago!

 

No I get it! I may be young but I have still watched my parents and grandparents fax things. We even have an old fax machine from the late '90s!

 

LMAO, we have friends that have always felt the need to name all their cars. They talk of them in conversation as if they're pets or family. My wife and I just look at them as if they've lost their ever loving minds.

 

Well.. yeah. 🤪

 

The color is Winter Blue, The car is badass. I would go with "Stone Cold"

 

That works in my book!

Yes I name vehicles, partially because I have multiples of the same model and need a way to identify. That said, they are still it's and not he's or she's.

 

Let's be fair. How far are you going to take the restoration? Will you leave the car mostly original and just drive/love it?
If the latter, call it Tina, short for the patina the car has earned and wears well.

 

Odds and ends are all that is left.. so yeah.. driving and loving it are my goal..

 

I have never named a car and never will, and I have had quite a few. It's just weird to me. It is an inanimate object.

Come on, I assume you have all seen the movie "Christine" so you know what happens when you name a car and then piss it off?

 

Valid point 😄

 

Their Mustangs. Horses have names.

 

My mother named her cars.
63 Fairlane wagon = El Junko
68 Country Squire wagon = Cindy (Cinderella)
73 Buick Wagon = Gertie - the Golden Gasoline gobbler (9 pass 455in)
Dad's 70 Mustang = Rosie

I never got into naming them - except when we owned two Crown Vics. They were identical, and if you added 29 to the VIN of one, you got the other - drove our insurance people nutz. We called the second "Car 54" - and it was about that many cars I had owned to that point.

 

Tried and true...."Ol' Blue."

 

I've never worried about a name for my cars. They just don't usually sound good in my head.
My wife named her Mustang "Georgy". Not sure why.
My '58 Bug has always been "The Bug"
I've thought of naming my '66 El Camino after my grandfather who bought it new "Vernon" or "Vern", or maybe "Virginia" after my grandmother, who it was bought for in '66, but I never saw her drive it. They parked it in about '73 for the OPEC embargo when they bought a Pinto and my grandfather just used it to go to the dump or hardware store from then on. So the El Camino has always been "The El Camino".

I know.....not very imaginative....

 

Yet still very cool.. just because of thr stories behind em!!

 

This is too easy, name it Rio…

 

 

IDK but tetanus is taken

 

Do you like metal?

Going by our name that ties to a song, I'd choose 'Downpour' 'Rain' or 'Storm'
And use Mushroomhead's song "Seen It All".

 

Yeah.. gotta dig into song names..
