Remember that Police song, "Every little thing she does is magic''?
My then very young son used to ask me to play the "eo" song because of how it used to end.
So, our car's name is baby Eo.
Stupid, I know, but you asked!!

I haven't named mine, but it's definately female. Even my wife, who never normally has time for cars, referred to it as 'her' - much to her embarassment.

I have never thought about giving a name to a car, hence the reason I did not reply to the original thread. Perhaps its because I don't want to get attached to an object that I will probably get fed up of in another year or so then it gets traded in for something more upmarket. (At least thats been the case until the Eos, maybe it will change now).

Cheers

My sentiments are exactly the same; however, I have always named my NAV system "Chuck". In spite of the fact that the voice is female, the system must be male ......... aren't most females "directionally challenged"?
Cheers!

I have been asked by a few people what I will name my new car and to be honest its just not me to give a car a pet name, my best mate has insisted that I must have a name for my Eos so her car, lulullala has a friend (OH DEAR!!) mind you I have never been taken with filling my car with soft toys and girlie trinkets either, think its just a case of each to their own.
btw schoolhousefred if you call someone chuck in UK it usually indicates you come from up north, and can be applied to male and females

Hi Denny!
Thanks for the info ......... will be sure not refer to NAV that way if I'm in your neck of the woods!

Kitty what?

Hi
Still a few days before she welcomes me on her board... My current car, an AlfaRomeo147 is nicknamed "Kitty Bella", like Kitty the beautiful, the Italian way (of course, she's Italian)... I adated her name from that of my previous car, a Ford named "Kitty Car"... I have not given it much thought yet, but for my soon-to-be-delivered Eos, I will need a German version of Kitty-something, with a female feeling and a bit of wind/air flowing through the letters, to reflect the convertible feature... Any hints?

Fred

schoolhousefred fred fred, have no problems with a map as long as I turn the map in the direction I am supposed to be travelling. I use the word supposed very loosely in this context of course lol
well it was a good enough reason to go for the sat nav in the eos, or will she be the first of my cars that adopts a name. watch this space and time will tell! any suggestions greatly recieved and considered, and any overly frilly fluffy ones will immeadiately be scoffed at and dismissed lol

Thanx everyone...
Bruce came about because a guy I use to work with asked what I called my car. I told him "betsy" and he said everyone calls their car (here in the states) that and I should come up with a diff'rent name. His car's name was "Herman" after Herman Monster (60's TV show). Joking around I said how about "BRUCE" but pronounced Broosss! That was a few cars back. So this is the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of Bruce!! SoCalMan, EO is a great name for your EOS! GOgg, hope you come up with something good... how about Aurora (the Latin version of EOS - which is Greek for 'dawn'). Or even Aurora Borealis or Aurora Australis. jamcar, sorry but Bruce is a bit fruity... that was the joke! eos3, I'll have to get back to you about a german name... gotta get out my german-english dictionary.
Again thanx for all the replies!!!

Hi Denny,
Actually just about any GPS NAV system is terrific. I have a portable Garmin unit which I take from car to car. I agree it is hard to iterpret a map when it is not facing the same way as the car is ... not a problem with a NAV system;and what a treat to simply dial in an address and have her/him just guide you on your way. It it's your first, you will love it.
Will give some thought to names for your new baby.

Good idea, but like I said, I'm afraid I don't see the point. Im happy just calling it "the car" or "the Eos". I think its like being on a farm, tending the animals for years then sending them for slaughter, dont want to get that attached that I can't eat or get rid.
