FYI: I am bilingual in English & Mandarin and I also studied Japanese for 4 years as well. I was well aware that there were two iterations of translating "Snow White," I chose the one I wanted and there is no mistake here. I didn't want to name it "White Snow". Thanks for playing though!

Cool, that is great.
Thanks for the belligerent name calling.

Brienne of Toyobaru because like @Brently I'm going through GoT withdrawals, was gonna call it balerion, but it was weird with a guys name

Like the OP I named my Hot Lava after a volcano. Vesuvious was the only one I could think of when a coworker suggested volcano names because of the color. But, as cool a name as it is, Vesuvious sounds distinctly male, so her name is Vesuvia.

Car? I have never named any of my car. I just dont get emotionally attached to em I guess.

Someone asked me what I was going to name her. I jokingly said "I dunno how 'bout Lenore." It's Raven black, so I was going for a Poe reference.
I was really was just joking about the name, when I said it. But, the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. Now it's stuck.

I've never really named any of my cars before. My '91 MR-2 was sometimes referred to as Mr.Two... But think they ALL were. My '85 RX-7 was kinda sorta called Rex, but it never stuck.

Both of those were nicknames. But Lenore IS Lenore. She's a character with personality. Since I've started referring to her as Lenore, I really like the idea of have a name other than "my car"

I call it "my car" or "my FR-S" or even "my Scion".

wrxgoose · 07-21-2013, 01:08 AM

usually call it "her" or "she" but for a name, Trouble.

Wife stuck it with the moniker "REMON" cause in the first six months it was always at the dealer for something.

As the old saying goes, "When life hands you remons, make remon-drop-martinis!"

Madness, because my initials are MAD, hence the username. Decided to put a slight spin on it =)
