      Cars must have names! I’ve named all of my cars from the same book series since I was 16. Currently driving an i30n named Kaelas. Boyo’s fam just names them after their rego plates.

        My old car was Huey, based on the numberplate UEE.

        New van can probably be Todd, as the mnemonic I’m using to remember the new numberplate is whisky + tea, which is a hot toddy.

        Traditionally cars are supposed to have female names for some reason (or at least that was what I was told growing up) but with equality and all I think boy names should be fine.

        OH likes mythical heroines’ names, so we’ve had Isolde and Brunhilda, and the most recent one is Endora because I like Samantha’s mum from bewitched

        It’s also nicer to think we’re being borne by a Valkyrie rather than a clapped-out commodore, lol
