Name that car



So, I've been told that I need to name my car. I have felt this need before, but have never really been able to come up with one that I think really fits. The only name that I've sort of been calling my car is Napoleon. However, I have never really been able to accept it as fitting. It's just not right So, here's the challenge: help me name my car.


I don't have a digital camera, so unfortunately I can't just go outside and take a picture of my car to post on my blog. I did find a similar Buick Skyhawk on the net and copied the pictures. And, I have a pic from when my car was hit by some jerk in Calgary and dented the front (which is still dented by the way) and gave me a flat tire.


So, here's some random info about it: it's an '87 two-tone blue Buick Skyhawk, the rear label of Buick now reads B_ick, the paint is wearing off on the hood, the automatic doors are fickle and only work sometimes and only on some of the doors, I have had it for 2 1/2 years now, it's gutless, purrs pretty loudly (though not from an ineffective muffler), and it is a boy. Since I am a girl, my car must be a boy -- that's just how it works. Therfore the name must be a boy's name.


Okay, here's some photos to give you a mental image:

I think you should name your car after a famous old school actor such as:

Humphrey
Charlton
John Wayne
Sylvester Two Tone
Desi
Heston

I vote Caleb. I mean, come on, it means "faithful affection". Can't deny the B_ick's faithful; it did, after all, start up again (after a bit of work) way back in the extreme sub-zero temperatures...

Although Charlton... Love it!

i think alliteration should play a factor when doing this thus after semi extensive research I have come up with the following list:
Bentley
Balthazar
Silvester
Sherman

Hi Joy.

I love you.

Don't be a stranger.

There is no danger.

Bye from Dee-Dee.

I think it needs to be named after a classic car ... like the General Lee or something. Or maybe named after a classic 80's T.V. character, like someone from Miami Vice or something.

Anyways, you'll have to let us know when you decide.

Take care Joy. Thanks for your Xanga comments. They mean a lot.
