What are you gonna name / nickname your Camaro (and a girl or a boy?) - Page 31 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

A girl, for sure. But good luck! I've had mine for months and she still doesn't have a name. It's the hardest decision ever!

There has to have been at least 20 threads about giving your car a name.

......better be careful..........you may get a visit from:

Bumblebee
Thor
Thor v 2.0
Magni (Mom's new Camaro)
Modi (Thor's son)
Lord Quicksilver (my 2002 Brickyard Z7D)

.....and a whole buncha other Camaros named in this thread.....

something to think about.......

Here's a quote from Eliot M. "Pete" Estes - - then the General Manager of Chevrolet. The quote comes from his opening remarks in June of 1966 when we announced to the world that a new Car WAS coming from Chevrolet - and that it would be named "Camaro" - not "Panther"......

"....the name 'Camaro' means pal, friend, or comrade. Thus it suggests the real mission of our new automobile -- to be a close companion to its owner -- tailored to reflect his or her individual tastes and at the same time provide exciting personal transportation. Chevrolet has chosen a name which is lithe and graceful, and in keeping with our other names beginning with 'C'....it suggests the comradeship of good friends ...as a personal car should be to its owner....."..

Not everyone understands naming a car or truck.......but that doesn't mean it's wrong. If the name means "Pal" -then perhaps some are right in naming their Camaros......

Frankly, I didn't name my cars until "Thor" was named by several enthusiasts. Perhaps I need to name them from here on out........

I was also not one to name my cars, but Modi kinda named himself as a result of Scott's involvement in his acquisition, (for which I will be forever grateful) the fact that he was a virtual clone of "Thor", and Scott asking at the time whether I had named him yet. He also was interested in, and used the other son's name for his mother's car "Magni". It was kinda cool, and quite an honor the way it all came together.

Mine's named Mary and when my wife asked why I thought it was a girl, I walked her around to Mary's rear and asked her: "Seen many boys with a butt like that?"

I thought about War Machine for a name (it's a name I've used for a while gaming). But, my car is far from Silver and wouldn't fit.

I named mine Sheryl-Lyn not exactly sure the best way to spell it, but I named it after my two moms. My mom died when I was three and her name was sheryl. My current mom my dad remarried and adopted us her middle name is lyn I thought it was a good idea not sure if it fits though.

MAGfuz · 07-12-2010, 12:33 PM

Sounds corny, but I took the name of the dealership I bought HER at (village chevrolet) and named HER: Ali
