What's in a name?

I meant to put this picture up before now, but here is my new car. After Molly the Malibu suffered serious hail damage in October, I got a nice check from the insurance company and we put it towards a new car that starts on a more frequent basis. She's a 2003 Nissan Sentra, but I haven't settled on a name yet. So, please vote for either Sally or Sylvia as a name. Or, make your own nomination based on what she looks like:

Mike:

Man, that's sexist... why does 'she' have to be a she, why can't 'she' be a he?

My vote is for Howie or Tajacamo (that will be the name of my first son)... Pronounced Ta-jock-a-mo.

Haley:

Because she's MY CAR, and I'm a GIRL. And I SAID SO, Mike. Sheesh. But I like Howie. Maybe we can make that a transgender name. :) What's your car's name?

is your car silver or blue? or blue silver?

if it's silver i vote for "sylvie" rather than "sylvia". get it?? :)

i vote for sylvie either way.

Uh. I don't get it, Charity.

Haley:

She's silver ... although when Dan found her at the used car lot, he kept telling me she was kind of a blue-ish silver, so I was trying to imagine this really freaky psychadelic color, and when I saw her I was like "That's just silver, Dan." So now this is a major point of contention in our marriage, with Dan continuing to insist that there are blue tinges to the silver. I guess it's good that we argue about relatively pointless things. Your vote has been duly noted, Charity.

rt, silver and sylvie sound alike. say it outloud if you don't believe me!

Dan:

I like Tajacamo

CT, I'm surprised and appalled--Sylvie, silver--that's truly awful.

I vote for Sylvia--the car just looks more like a Sylvia to me. :)

Sorry, CT. I'm learning my humor doesn't translate over blog comments at all. ; )

My vote is Sylvie-sounds-like-Silver.

Haley:

Woo-Hoo for Renae on the blog! I am really keeping a count, here, folks, so drag your neighbors into the debate. Hope all is well at the Grand and next door.

dan:

After some thought, i am changing my vote to Momar.

Mike:

Awww man, I thought the Tajacamo's were gonna have it *sad*. Momar isn't bad either, I'm still sticking to my original 2 ideas though.

My car, no name as of yet, it hasn't told me... I suspect some day it will, I'll just have to be patient and quick kicking it and yelling at it to talk to me, huh? :)

Side Note: Howie, I'll allow the transgenderness of that name... or something like that.

did the car ever get a name??
