Pet names for your CRV??

[tayjenn]

Silly I know...but I am getting quite attached to mine. When referring to it I call it the V......"So, you want to take the V out tonight or your car?" My boyfriend just calls it the Honda. Just curious to see if people are nuts like I am.

Since Mine is Clover Green Pearl I've Been Knocking around with Either Marvin (For Marvin the Martian) or Shamrock. I'm leaning towards Marvin.

The V.

Problem is, with 2 of them, which one are we referring to? :D

That's funny! :)

[DewaltDakota]

We call ours "the Tall Car"

[GordonFan]

I call it "The CR-V". When I got it, I had "The Integra" ('92), the "The Honda" ('96 Accord), and the bimmer which my wife calls "Gidget". I sold the Acura, so we were down to "Honda", "Gidget", and "CR-V". Then a couple of weeks ago, I got rear ended in the Accord and it got totalled.

Now, I may change it from "The CR-V" to "The Honda". Time will tell.

[Dana]

I just got my 1999 ex yesterday and I call him Kermit. :D

[Chris_98_LX]

Mine is called "Unnatural".

All my cars have had names. A small tribute to my sister. Long story...anyway,


Car #1 Nelly (Nissan)
Car #2 Lance (Nissan)
Car #3 Hot Shot (CR-V)

My daughter picked the name. Although, 'The V' seems to slip out more often then Hot Shot.

I always name all of my cars too. Our g35 is named Gia and my old civic was Tino. :)

[Alpine]

We call our CR-V "The V" as well.

And we call my Civic Coupe "Cindy".

The trouble with naming your vehicle is that it creates heart ache when it is time to part with it. My wife loved our recent departed mini van Vincent Van Go and was insisting that we keep it forever. The van had reached the age of Jean Claude Damn Van in maintenance costs and I was trying to find a way to ease the pain of parting. I was looking at a 2007 EX in Nighhawk Black Pearl. I fell in love with it, but I could barely get her to sit in it. (This is the the first time since 1970 that I have feel in love with vehicle, the rest of the vehicles had the excitement of buying a washer machine). My wife is a Pirates of The Caribbean fan and as we were leaving At The Worlds End, it struck me, call the new CR-V the Black Pearl. That helped. When I decided to buy the car, I bought a black pearl pendant necklass. The first time my wife sat in the car, I told her to open the upper glove compartment. There was the black pearl pendant in a small black box. That helped too. I am still in the doghouse for getting rid of her beloved Vincent, but she is coming around.

Only have had the car two days and I love it with exception of the headlights on low beam (did they put shades on top of the headlights) and indeed the arm rests are terrible. I will say that Vincent was a far more comfortable vehicle, sort of like an old shoe.

You are so right! The reason I got a cr-v was because someone rear ended my beloved Tino (96 civic ex). I loved that car so much and didn't want to let him go.

When I went to the collision center to take off some after market parts, I cried when I saw him, I cried when I left him. I even wrote him a note and left it in the glove box. Poor Valentino aka Tino! :(

I feel your wife's pain. I think the the black pearl is an awesome name though.

Dana,

Looks like the rear crumple zone saved you, big time! It "gave its life" for you. :)

[Dana]

Dana,

That's what I said! It was pouring down raining and Tino didn't even slide or anything. I took care of him and he took care of me. He drove like a brand new car. (to me) The insurance adjusters said that the interior was flawless and the engine was super clean!

I still miss him, but Kermit is starting to fill the void!

[Iwantaredone]

"Vincent Van Go" *lol* This English teacher loves the play on words. I'm picking up my new 2007 CRV tomorrow! I'll report back on the name as soon as I find out what sticks.

[Black Pearl]

"I think the the black pearl is an awesome name though."

I owe that to Honda's paint namers. I also briefly considered bullbat which likewise is related to the paint name, but Black Pearl seemed more elegant.

Kermit was the name of our froggy looking 90 Ford Tempo, Kermit the Ford.

[shortie]

mine is called holly! had a name even before i finished the test drive:) :) :) my other cars had names.


the LR is called 'bungle' and the surf was 'rog'.

[irwinje]

I've been kicking this idea around since I got my V at the begining of March. at first I hoped to find a name that started w/ V, for obvious reasons. Then I came to the realization that V was not the best letter in the alphabet to work with (play Scattergories for proof).
Anyway, I've always been one to do things that mean something, at least to me, so I brain stormed on a name and the other night while I was sitting outside looking at him it came to me...Harvey, or Har-V if you will.
The name has meaning to me in that his name sake is Harvey Dent, or Two-face, from Batman, for those that aren't familiar.
The name makes sense to me because the V is an everyday driver that I can take clients out with, still have enough room for all my work stuff, and 4 adults fit during the week. And when the weekend gets here I can go just about anywhere I want, I can throw the canoe on top or load it up w/ camping gear and be off to anywhere I want. Which also includes hauling a kitchen table and new TV this weekend.
I guess it would be fair to say the unbelievable versitility of this vehicle prompted the name.

Not since the Henry J has such imagination or effort been applied to the naming of an automobile. It would apply to the 07 as well. Sometimes I look at the front end of mine and think "Good God that thing is wretched looking" and other times I think "Yeah it is kind of cool."

[CRVPiggy]

Like some of you all, I've always named my cars too. My first car, a 89 Nissan Sentra, was Sweetpea. Next, I had a 03 Tacoma, which my husband named Caroline. Now, my V is called Squeak. Coming from the truck, the V was more agile and being smaller could fit into tighter spaces, and my husband commented that it could "squeak" right into anywhere I took it. He was right, and I thought the name Squeak was cute, so it stuck. I'm in the process of getting personalized plates that say PGSQK (short for Pig's Squeak; my nickname is Piggy).

[Mac81]

I call mine CaVooRi = Crab in Greek :cool: :D

We call the wife's 04 "Piggy" because of her love for all things PIG. Many of her pigs are antique, farm-oriented type stuff. She even has a pig wallpaper on her cell phone...

How cute! My husband calls me Piggy because I love to eat. I have a really fast metabolism, so I get hungry every three hours or so. Luckily for me (and him!) I love to cook. I love piggy stuff too. I actually collected pig stuff when I was young, but stopped before I started dating my husband. Once he decided to call me Piggy I started collecting again. Right now, we have a wood carved pig that we take turns hiding for each other. A few days ago I found the pig next to the milk when I went to have my cereal. Tomorrow, he is going to find the pig in his sock drawer!

[thesilverbullet]

TheSilverBullet #3

thesilverbullet #1 - was my ~240hp '02 RSX-S (w/ i/e/rh/kpro)
thesilverbullet #2 - is my 240hp '07 s2k

[cuzofjade]

since me and my wife do not have brother nor sister...
we call the '98 Accord Coupe "kuya" and '07 CR-V "ate", Filipino translation for brother and sister respectively.

[Sandpebble]

After referring to it as the van,the truck,the car,I thought it's the vehicle. Clint Eastwood said "you don't mess with a mans vehicles" hence the V-hicle.

[nonavail]

I am having a hard time thinking of a name for my new 2006 "V" as well. This thread has helped expand my creativity though. Since I got her on Halloween (yesterday) and she is black, maybe that could be a theme. Or maybe she (or he) will just tell me its name if I wait... :)

[irwinje]

I Since I got her on Halloween (yesterday) and she is black, maybe that could be a theme.

I wanted a black one really really really badly. I wanted a black one because I already had a name picked out if it was black... Obsidian
Obsidian is a very deep black "lava looking" rock. Usually they are found in rock shops after being heavily polished. I had planned on calling him "Sid" for short. I suppose I wouldn't be too upset if you were to use that namieology for your new black CR-V.

[Craving This]

my v's name is Evie, since she's black she's dark like the evening- night... well not very creative but there was a V in evening and i always like the name evie hehe...

[gronnz]

:D we named our CRV bagwis

it's a filipino word for the long wing feathers. we love long drives / road trips and bagwis has always been our companion :D

[dougthug]

Her name is "Ellen". Hopefully this explanation doesn't offend anyone, and if it does I'm sorry, but the guys at the car stereo shop that I work part time at on the weekends insist the CR-V is a lesbian car. It's even funnier when you look at my CR-V sitting next to my wifes Pilot. Anyway, I stopped fighting them on the issue and decided to name her Ellen, after Ellen DeGeneres. Really it is O.K., since I'm a lesbian trapped in a mans body anyway ;). Thanks.

[romark2001]

I used to name my cars based on what was in the license plate...my last having JKE so it was Jake. With the CR-V I have nothing to work on but when I am on my own and charging though the countryside it is "Black Thunder" :D . Being an aviation fan I also toyed with "Blackbird" but the fact that the shape of the CR-V is so far from the aircraft it is pushing artistic license a wee bit too far I think. So the official name remains undecided!
I agree with other posts, The Black Pearl is an amazing name!

[sleeksilver]

I just call mine the Kruv :)

[borderottie]

I got mine the day after Christmas. It's that awesome clover green and when I unlocked the doors one night and all the lights flashed it looked like a Christmas tree.
So my Mom said I oughta call it "CRis". Works for me. :)

[sth]

CuRVy. Short and simple.

[sparky]

My youngest daughter just named our new white '01 CRV "Chloe." (I hope I spelled that right.) Now there's "LUCY" "Curtis" and "Scotter." My oldest daughter doesn't want to name her new "98 CRV.

[mimoid]

"The Honda". As opposed to my wife's "The Peugeot". Yeah, boring, I know. :o

//Tom

[DaveC]

My wife has christened ours... wait for it...


Wanda (the Honda)...

:D

BRILLIANT!

[michaeljp]

My CRV is called Elsie as the reg starts "LC"

[lccurtis]

I have named my 'V' Eleanor named after my fiance's mom.

[ashank]

hello fellow CRV owners! the name of my car is shelly... since we got it from shelly BMW... he he!:) :)

[senorgregster]

our pet name is "little V"

[buckwheat]

Buckwheat :D :)

[jpod]

This is a neat thread.

I talked about this a few weeks ago in another thread when we first got the new 08 CRV.

We named our 04 CRV "Weasel" because Soichiro Honda was respectfully nicknamed Weasel in his youth. We wanted to name the 08 Weasel too, but wanted to use the correct Japanese nickname which, thanks to members of this forum, we think is Itachi-san.

So out of admiration for Soichiro Honda, our present CRV is, we hope respectfully, named Itachi-san.

[X-Brawn]

I call my parent's CR-V many things. But, my Mom named it Freez because of the Glacier Blue Metallic color.

[ryoung535]

Mine is the CR-Vicious

[Vacado]

I'm hopping on this kinda late, but I called my green '98 Yoshimi, after the Flaming Lips album "Yoshimi Battles the Giant Pink Robots." I named it that because whenever I hear that album, it reminds of last summer when we were cruising around in Jackson Hole, WY. I was a wildlife biologist there, and I had to drive about 100 miles a day to keep track of our grouse and whatnot, so I'd roll down the windows and crank the Lips in my lean mean field machine!

Ironically, Yoshimi "died" while I was listening to the same album on Feb. 15 when we were struck by a semi while traveling on the interstate. RIP Yoshimi!!

V

[MartyD50]

A real new owner here. Have had mine for a week.....named her "My Little Ahh-Sooo!"("Ah-So", for short) :D Obviously the color is Green Tea.

Also have a 06' S2K I call "Baby Blue".;) ...is Susuka Blue......Just love them Hondas......your best "bang for the buck":)

[X-Brawn]

I just got my CR-V yesterday, and I named her Sage as making the change from the Ridgeline to a CR-V I felt was a wise choice for me.

Now, on to the customizations and personalizations...

[jpod]

Just curious. Any of the newer members named their CRV?

Of course I mean more or less permanent endearing nick names, not the informal (and on this forum unpublishable) names some of us quickly give our cars in certain recurring circumstances.:rolleyes:

JPO

[Peacemaker1911]

My 2007 EX-L is named "Cali", cause I got in California.

My 2001 Cavalier is "Cavi"

My wife named my 2003 S10 Blazer "Johnny"

My 1998 Bravada is "Johnny Bravo" of course

My 2003 GMC Sonoma was named "Haus"

My 2008 Vue Redline awd is named "Red"

And my 2007 TrailBlazer SS just "The SS"

[X-Brawn]

I call my car Sage, after a fictional Transformers character. She is a very wise, and stealthy, ninja-esque character that can transform and strike so quickly she can barely be seen.

I called my Ridgeline Brawn, because he was very brawny.

My Tundra was called Roadbuster, as I drove it a lot and busted up a lot of roads.

[TGuy]

When I saw this thread I thought it was really funny because it reminded me of what my late wife and I would do, we named our pets after cars. There was Mercedes (English Mastiff), Hummer (Black Lab), Jaguar (siamese cat), Lexus (Sheltie), Kia (Chiachuwa, sic.), Beamer (teacup daschond) and some other ones I forgot. I only time we departed from the theme was with the opossum we had; that was George.

My girlfriend and I did have a name for a car she bought and it was Rita and was named after Hurricane Rita which came thru (by) the Houston area in 2005. She was working in the bar then and her bar was the only one that did not lose its power in the area and everyone went there after the threat had passed; she made a bunch of tips which she used as part of the downpayment.

My CRV (she says hers) is jokingly refered to as Baby Durango since it looks like it just came out of the hatch of her Dodge Durango. The body lines are somewhat similiar; both are black and they accesorized similar.

[The Cat Slaves]

Ok! We will play along. My wife has always named her rides, starting with her '84 Civic, "Saki" then our '98 Odyssey, "Odie" then our '98 GL1500 SE Gold Wing, "Saki II" and now our '08 CR-V, Boo. It's Glacier Blue. One of her girlfriends has the same colour and she calls it "Boo Boo". My wife even says, when she sees another Glacier Blue CR-V, look there's Boo's sister or there's another Boo.:rolleyes: Please don't start another poll asking for husband and wife pet names, that would be just to creepy, :eek:

[StunGunna]

Hi there, love the responses and just stumbled on this thread.

I call my 2000 CRV "SnowFox" Coz I bought her in winter 2005 and she saved me from a bad wreck the first week I had her, by a controlled AWD spin-out in some snow and ice.

Since then, she has shown me how well she does in snow, ice, mud, sand, gravel and water. Amazing little hottie. Love her to death. Here she is...
http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo210/StunGunna/CRVOC5.jpg

Happy Motoring! :)

[electric V]

I call my V the "Fun V" ; yes I stole the name from IRONMAN. But the coolest thing is that my 5yr. old sister calls it the Fun V also.

[Honda4Life]

My Lude is Lucy. The CR-V is sometimes called the "serve" or the "CR-Vizzle".

[Bren08CRV]

Ok this might be a little weird, but after I bought my 08, it rained for 2 days, so I waited to pick it up until the rain was over (I wanted to show her off nice and clean). I told people that my poor sweet pea is gonna think I don't want it, so the name sweet pea stayed with her!!

[Serj22]

I named my 02 Alexis, not A Lexus.
My car before that as Heather, the car before was Sheila, and my Minivan is called Akasha, and the Beetle is called Celine.

[lefooey]

First known as "Honda Chick," but now known as Tohru.

My wife dubbed her with both names. The first after having ridden with me over to Seattle with "that chick" telling me where to turn. The second because she needed a better name. And yes, her Glacier Blue fits the V well.

[Serj22]

Honda chick is a good one,

[Jtarinan]

I call her CURVES. Because shes got tham and she can handle them.

[X-Brawn]

My Mom likes to call my car Goldie HONDA (man, I hate that one). I like to call my car Sage, but no one else does.

[bugsy714]

We have officially names our new V "SXYBTCH" because she is so sexy!

[GTCB-chris]

i call my first gen, my car, my truck, my suv, or what ever i feel like it, i keep pet names for my fiancee. lol

[silvanski]

no nickname for the V (yet) but the old Escort is usually referred to as "that thing":rolleyes:

[umdajs]

My girlfriend named my 2nd gen V Rocky...seemed reasonable

[kinoav8r]

The "Blonda". Our other car is the "Gloddysey".

[westham]

My wife decided last night to name the new 09 CR-V Ronda-De-Onda.
Oh Well:rolleyes:

[grizzlybear]

my v's name is Evie, since she's black she's dark like the evening- night... well not very creative but there was a V in evening and i always like the name evie hehe...

likewise mine is called evie from v for vendetta

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition."

maybe vowing to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition is taking it a bit to far tho :D

[Mal113]

HOJ = Heap of Junk

[geoman]

I going to call my CR-V Christine 2 since Christine 1 was totaled out.

[Snore]

currently trying to think of a name for my 2000 silver ex

[Jwood70]

I either use the "VCR" or "Crashwagon". The VCR was coined for me at least by a friend in high school one day when my truck was blocked in one morning and I had to get to school. I pulled up and he was like "dude, nice VCR" and I have been using it since.

Crashwagon is pretty self explanatory. My V has been on its roof in the last year.
