I have agonized over this since March. All of my cars have had names. Female names. Since she was born on Feb 18, I considered "Aquarius." "Esmerelda" was a left-handed idea. "Virginia," my home state.
Discussed this thread with my wife, what should we name our Elantra, already knows our little granddaughter calls it the Silver car, lets name it Hi Ho Silver.
Have the William Tell Overture on my radio, can open the windows and the sunroof, play it loud, drive on main street and both of us yell, Hi Ho Silver.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if @NicholasD pulled a cheesehead from one of his closets, @Old's Cool. No different than some of these clowns I see at OU's stadium on game day...wearing a foam Sooner Schooner (wagon) on their heads. They don't call them fan(atics) for no reason. They're everywhere sports are being played. Ever watched a "Duke vs North Carolina" BB game? Pure insanity. All the crazies turn out for that.
If the WVa Mountaineers lose a football game? Citizens in Morgantown drag old couches out onto the curb, soak 'em in gasoline, and light 'em up. Never did understand that tradition but used couches are a hot commodity in local yard sales.
And the insanity goes on and on, and on, and on......

This is kind of embarrassing but I did give it a name. We had Nissan Versas for close to nine years and called them little toot toots because of the locking beep sounded like a toot. Now the 2017 elantra has quite the funny sounding beep when it locks(sounds like someone is strangling it) Sounds more like a meep. Also the licence plate I got has mep in it so the logical choice was Meep meep....you know like the roadrunner. We sometimes call it meep or roady.
Embarrassing? I think not. Show me a person that doesn't love the roadrunner. I'd be walking out to get in and be imitating (in my best roadrunner voice), "Meep-Meep." So what if the neighbor's think I'm crazy and off my rocker? Who cares? Besides, it COULD become a tradition. :laughing: I suppose if you get another one, you could call it "Acme..." :grin:
I'm Chinese, but I know a very tiny bit of Korean. My Elantra is from the Ulsan plant in Korea, and it's Polar White. To me, it looks milky white.
I wanted to give it a Korean name, since Hyundai is Korean and this one was made in Korea, so I called it 우유차 (u-yu-cha), which either means Milk tea, or Milk car! That's because 우유 (uyu) means milk and 차 (cha) is the exact same word for milk OR car. It's a homonym (homograph)!
Anyways, milk tea is a really common Hong Kong drink, so I think it's more of a Chinese term. You can also get it in bubble tea form (Taiwan is famous for their milk tea bubble teas)
