How many have given their Gennys a name?

[Ragnar]

Ours was “Lady Blue” from day one lol

 

[Alfer]

Nope

Pet peeve of mine is people that name their cars. I have always liked the cars I have owned, but never thought of them in any way other than "a car".

Also not a fan of referring to Genesis as "Genny". Had I heard that term before buying my car it would have been in the "reasons not to buy column" lol

Damn, I am really starting to feel like the grumpy old guys that argue all the time on this site.

You must not like my name then LOL I don't use the term when I talk with people so I don't mind having the username as that. I name all my cars as I see them as females. It would be a bit off-putting if I named my car Bob and told someone "I need to go fill up Bob". No thank you.

Btw, her name is Pearl

I don't name my cars, but my kid has over the years, just something kids do.

she's a teen now so no name on this one. I'm lucky if I can get her to do more than grunt much less name a car.

 

[Windchaser]

I'm in the "don't name" camp. I never really understood the desire to name inanimate objects.

 

[Gone With The Wind 2]

Does "the car" count? Hah
Never named them myself, but probably due to a lack of creativity vs caring one way or the other.

 

[Alfer]

If mine had a name, it would be more tied to "Whos car are we driving, mom or dads?"

 

[Ragnar]

Wow what a bunch a crotchety old farts! Lol.
Wife and I have always given our favorite rides a name, goes back to the 50s - 60s when us teens painted a name on the front fenders.
Admit to preferring Genesis to Genny when discussing our car,just more classy in my opinion.

^ I am a cranky middle aged guy (41)

Maybe the name thing is an old guy thing since you mention it being from the 50's and 60's and I wasn't around for it...

Funny you should say that. ,ya l,m 73 now but the reason behind this post was on reading a thread on the Kia Stinger owners site there’s a post where everybody was getting in on the naming of their Stingers. Seemed to be enjoying it.
Guess everyone here is Just too sophisticated........lol

 

[Gen127]

My sons call it ‘ the Genesis’, my wife calls it ‘your car’, I mostly call it ‘my car’ or ‘ the Genny’ - hence the plates, ‘BLKGENY’

 

[SuperKing]

Didn't name the Genesis but I did name my MR2T "Sarah". The colour is Steel Mist Gray from the factory, abbreviated SMG. The initials for Sarah Michelle Gellar... Guess I could've called it "Buffy" as well

 

[Reloader15]

MY older sister (72) loves my car, she calls it Black Beauty...

 

[tbently]

I call mine "my car"

 

[MG8]

GENNY IS HER NAME .

 

[Hueydriver]

[Advocate225]

I named my black on black Genesis "Black Beauty," with apologies to the Green Hornet.
