Naming my XA

Naming my XA
I know this will sound nuts, but my wife thinks that our vehicles have a distinct personality, and has always named them. For example our 71 VW Camper, restored, is named "LUCY", because she is RED and my wife is an "I LOVE LUCY" fan.My 04 BMW R1150-Rockster motorcycle is named "MISS LINDY", after a friend down in Augusta, GA. My wifes LEXUS is named, "LEXI", not much of a stretch there. Anyway, now we have the ALBINO WHITE XA, 5 spd.,and are in a search. The leading candidate so far is "LAYLA", from the Eric Clapton song, followed by "ZOE", then "MILA", you know who I mean there. Give me your opinion on these, or some suggestions, must be short, cosmic, fit the ride

Ours is Lucy, as in Van Pelt of Peanuts fame. White could be Egg, or Minnie Pearl, though it's probably not a pearl finish.
Take out the beep-beep and put in the whonk-whonk from a 70's station wagon, and call it "Farnsworth" or "Belvedere." :-)

I name most of my cars and they really just come to you. If you think about it then it is forced. Here are the names of some of the cars I and those close to me have:
My Ferrari: "The red car"
My Mercedes: "The 180" It is a C230 but a 1.8L so I used the euro badging to badge it a C180
My ex Corvette race car: "Bruce" named after Bruce McLaren because it was Mclaren orange
My Honda race car: "Sochiro" Named after the Honda founder
My brothers Mazda Protege: 'Lance' He likes cycling and the car is yellow
My girlfriends mom's Protege: 'Homer' From the Simpson's episode when Homer says that he does not impress easy the follows it with 'Wow a blue car' . The mazda is blue
My girlfriends mom's old Corolla: 'Yoda' It is a Toyota but it was the first car that she bought not made by GM and it showed her the wisdom of buying Japanese. Yoda, as in the character from Star Wars, is wise
Before that was the Pontiac Sunfire: 'Zorro' because the bra on the front made the car look like the mask of Zorro
These are just the ones I can remember but the names were not forced and they just came to us. As soon as the xA comes in I'm sure there will be a name and I'll post it here. Good luck with naming the white xA.
