Default Have you named your (h) ???

I've noticed here a few of us have given our (h's) names for their 'character' or perceived personality.
Mine is Watson. How many of you have named your (h) for it's character or perceived personality? And what Gender did you give it?

Interesting question, I guess I'll have to think about this once I get familiar with my new RX starting tomorrow.

My 450h is named Urkel because he's such a nerd

The 330 didn't have a name really. I just thought he was sporty. The 300 was hippo because he sure looked like one especially in the back And I've considered all of my RXs to be male

I have never "named" my vehicles, but I have always referred to my GPS/Navigation in prior vehicles as being "Heather" (with the sweet sounding female voice when giving GPS intructions). To think of it, I have yet to listen to the GPS dialogue/instructions on my new 450h, but I just assume it will also sound like a "Heather" speaking.

Too funny... I don't recall if I read it here or back in the day on Acurazine, but there was a user who called her "Veronica", LOL.

I remember the first time I tried GPS. It was a Rockwell Neverlost unit in a Lincoln Town Car (used to love that vehicle... and I was only 23 at the time - don't ask!) from Hertz back in 1997. The voice was from a man who sounded drunk.

So if I read your signature correctly, you've named all three of your Lexus's ??? Or would it be Lexi ? And the current one is "El Jefe" ??? pretty kool

Our 450h is name Tink short for Tinker Bell. My wife has a Tinker Bell on the back glass of the car. In addition, my Daughters 200 Corolla was name Bambi because it was so small.

Just picked mine up on Sunday. The heads up display reminded me of the hologram in Star Wars; so with a hologram and "dressed" in white - my RX450h is named "Leia".

We call ours "The Truck". Isn't that original? Previously we had a 4runner limited and it was called "The Truck" so just exchanged vehicles and not names. :-/
