Why do we feel the need to name our cars? Is it because they have distinct human visages?<\/p>\n

With headlights that leer and a grill that seems ready to snap or laugh, it\u2019s hard not to see faces and personalities in cars and automobiles. In fact, the personality expressed in a vehicle\u2019s \u201cface\u201d is often a huge reason why we choose to purchase one car over another.<\/p>\n

Car designers know this too, which is why you see meaner, more aggressive faces in trucks and sports cars, and milder, more friendly faces in SUVs and family vehicles. Anyone who has seen the Cars<\/em> movies knows that not only do the faces match the cars\u2019 personalities (think of Lighting McQueen and Mater), but their names do as well.<\/p>\n

Cars really do resemble people. Our brains cannot help but anthropomorphize them. It\u2019s a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia<\/a><\/em>. So why shouldn\u2019t they be given names?<\/p>\n

Besides, it\u2019s your chance to go crazy with names that you might not otherwise use for your children or pets.<\/p>\n

So, What Should I Name My Car?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cBox with Wheels\u201d and \u201cMr. Car\u201d won\u2019t work. Sure, you can <\/em>call it that, but you\u2019re probably looking for something a bit more creative. Since naming your car is a big decision that you\u2019ll live with for a long time, don\u2019t rush it.<\/p>\n

Here are a few things to keep in mind when naming your car:<\/p>\n

1. Consider the Car\u2019s Personality (Make and Model)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What does your car look like? This is the biggest factor to take into consideration. Does it look like a boy or a girl? Old or young?<\/p>\n

Is it a sports car, a large car, a classic car, or a new car? Think of any distinctive character traits that it has. Does it make a lot of noise or barely none at all? Is it large or small? No matter what make or model you have, you can find something that will help you in the naming process. In fact, that\u2019s how the Volkswagen \u201cBeetle\u201d got its name. The car was originally just called Volkswagen, but the obvious resemblance to a beetle or bug gave it its lasting nickname.<\/p>\n

If you are a person who likes rhymes and puns, you can use the make\/model as inspiration for a fun and quirky name for your car:<\/p>\n
