Zoomy.
That was originally his name. Not very imaginative, but after the test drive I decided Mazda's slogan was right, and he was Zoomy.
I just ordered a custom plate: ZOOM-X8. So his mother would call him Zoom. For formal occasions, he'd be introduced as Mr. X8.
And Zoomy is his nickname.

You do know that is a Beatles song right? My first horse's name was Penny Lane.. And she gave birth to Sgt. Pepper... We name all our horses's after Beatles songs...
My car's name is Flea... I also call her my super sexy boogieman slayer.

I had a hard time naming her at first. I knew I wanted a girls name, something beautiful. Thought about Japanese names but I don't know many.
Finally came up with Penny Lane, as in Kate Hudson's Character from Almost Famous aka Untitled, and I have been using that.
The characters real name is Lady Goodman, so I can also just call her Lady. I mistakenly thought that her real name was Duchess so I have also called my 8 that.
My one friend has the jacket like she wears in the movie, and I'm looking forward to driving her in the 8 with the jacket if we ever find the time.

I call my 8, "my Japanese Girlfriend". I make my relationship with my 8 seem like an affair outside of my marriage. After a few days of not driving her I have the following conversation with my wife.
*wife and I get in car*
Me: "I love you, you feeling okay?"
Wife: "Ooo baby, I love you too, I'm feeling..."
Me: *rudely interrupting my wife* "I was talking to my Japanese Girlfriend!" *Stroking dashboard*
I whisper words of love and encouragement to My Japanese Girlfriend on a regular basis.... I only chastize her about her heavy drinking while pumping her full...

I always love the name of my car threads.
As yet I've not named this car. I'm leaning towards WEAPN-X as a vague reference to Wolverine since its yellow. Although to fit the female need of the name perhaps a reference to X-23.
I usually wait for the emotional attachment before I name a car. I try to go with girl names as its difficult for me to "get into a guy" every day
My S4 was Kara
My WRX was Pearl
My Mirage was Ruby

I really didn't name it, and it's stupid, but a friend that I happen to pass at a high rate of speed evey morning dubbed it the Gray Ghost. So I call it "GG", but I prefer it as "GiGi"..........sleek, sexy and kinda exotic!

My black '85 Rx7 GSL was called Boris (because it was evil & got me in a lot of trouble). So naturally when I got the white '90 GTUs I named it Natasha. 2 /12 years in I still haven't come up with a suitable name for my silver '05 Rx8. I've been thinking about Wiley, since I have a Wile E. Coyote that rides shotgun.
