National Name Your Car Day – October 2nd.


October 2nd is 'National Name Your Car Day'.  There is no real origin or reason why October 2nd was chosen, but it's the perfect day to give your favorite car a name if it doesn't already have one.  We spend a lot of time in our cars, and caring for them, so they deserve a name.    Just remember, cars have feelings – so don't give your 'ride' an embarrassing name!


Car Name Suggestions



  • Guys with 'muscle cars' or sports cars should go with strong names that reflect the car and the owner. 
  • “Chick” cars need sweet names.  
  • Luxury cars probably need a formal or regal-sounding name. 



Famous Movie Car Names


Some fun movie car names are familiar to us. These include:


  • The Love Bug
  • Lightning McQueen from Cars 
  • Kit from Knight Rider
  • General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard
  • Bandit from Smokey and the Bandit. 



Our Car Names


Our Cars - The Pumpkin and the Super-Beetle

We have had a lot of cars over the years, but our favorite were the Volkswagen Beetles.  The last ones we had included a Super-Beetle (the blue one in the picture) and our son had the Orange one.  

The Orange VW was the only car with a real name.  We called it ~ appropriately ~ 'The Pumpkin'.

Do you have a name for your car(s)?  Come tell me what kind of car and what you call it. 


Happy 'National Name-Your-Car Day'.

  1. We do name our cars (and motorcycles). Although, I'm sure some people find us a little silly, but we enjoy our name game fun.

  3. Back in the mid 80's I had a 1961 Singer Vogue, a classic style car with walnut dash etc, lovely car, just a shame I lost all the photos of it over the years.
    There are a song in the charts at the time, "Pearl's a singer" by Elkie Brooks, so I called my car "Pearl". When people would ask why, I would just say "Because Pearl's a Singer!"
    Yes, true story.
