Naming your FR-S

What's in a name really? I'm trying to think of a nickname/name for my new FR-S and I'm not really sure where to start. I wanted to see what other members had done for names and maybe what gave them that idea/inspiration.

IF you really want to name your car, I feel like its an organic process. I knew as soon as I got in her that it was a girl. A feisty girl.

For me, I felt that since it's the offspring of two Japanese Giants, it really deserved a Japanese name.

So I just started going down a list of popular Japanese girls names. Nothing fit really, until I found it. And it was literally a Eureka moment. I read it once, twice more to confirm. I just knew it was right, even without looking at the meaning. And so my Whiteout FRS was named Hikari.

Even better, her name means "Light." Spot on, in every sense I can think of.

Really don't need two threads on the same topic when they're on the same page.
