I was sitting with my cousin.... who's american & she's into retro cars like myself & said I should name my car ... it's harder than naming your own baby! So i thought i could get ideas here :D

PS: Squarebacks are definitely females!

My 71 is 'Mark Pfennig'
-or 'Bronco' after the Broncos Football team; who, like my Square, wear Orange and Powder Blue - Real 'Tough Guy' colors. :lol:

I call my 65 'The Money Pit', as well.
I, too often, call it 'in the way'
But I affectionately call it, 'Cricket'

I haven't named my 68 yet.

interesting observation. most cars let you know after a while what gender they are. i will find myself referring to it as "he" or "she" without thinking about it, and then you know.

i'm still waiting for my Ghia to announce. my daily driver is a PT Cruiser convertible, and that's a chick. her name is Gert. oddly enough, my Jeep is also female, but butch.

i tried out "Three-ah" for the Type 34, but it didn't stick. i've referred to it as "she" but it doesn't come out right. i need to drive it more, then i should know.

Dont have on yet, i need to drive it. But i find myself calling it "her" alot.
And all my friends call it blackout.

I was thinking "Angel" but i dont think that would stick.
I need a name for a girl that is kinda fluffy.... the kind you'd wanna pinch the cheeks !

The PO of our square had named him "Stein." I don't usually call him by that name, but it's what I think of when a name comes to mind.

Sylvia.

"The Rusty Kraut".....that's what the guys at work call it.

I would violate the rules of this forum with the names I have for mine.

Fri Sep 19, 2008 7:48 am

Mine is named Herbert "Herb" for short

Fri Sep 19, 2008 8:17 am

Mine is The Crate, short for The Egg Crate. I use it to deliver my free range brown eggs every Thursday.

Mine is male (of course): its name is ... Willy :wink:

my 69 square is lucy... yup fits her quite well.named her when i first bought her.. i was 14

I guess I'm one of the exceptions with a female name. The whole story behind "Heidi", was my ex drove a new beetle, and that car was a lesbian (Don't ask, haha), and my car was the girlfriend. My ex called it Heidi and it just stuck. Fits really well too.

Daddy's Little Blue Car. The Ghia is Daddy's Little Red Car.

Right now, my Square is "Bob", an acronym for "Bucket of Bolts".
