Although naming your vehicle isn’t something that’s universally done, this holiday aims to correct that little oversight. This holiday is called National Name Your Car Day, and it’s a holiday that encourages everyone to take time out of their day to give their car a name.

While you’re naming your car, make sure that you consider the personality of the car, your personality, and the color of the car. If you do, then you will more than likely have the perfect name for your car when you go to name it on October 2nd.

How To Name Your Car

As you’re getting ready to celebrate this holiday, you might be looking at your car and wondering how you’re going to come up with a name for it. Don’t worry; that happens to the best of us. That’s why we decided to create this mini-guide that will help you come up with the perfect name for your car. Let’s begin, shall we?

Compile a List of Common Names

The first thing that you can do is compile a list of common names that you like. Start by putting all the names in a list to give yourself some options later on. While making your list, think about whether your car needs a neutral name or one that’s male or female.

Think About Your Personality

It’s also a good idea to think about your own personality. Do you consider yourself a steady driver? Well, then maybe you will want to name your car Steady Steve or Slow N’ Steady. Or you can give your car an ironic name like White Lightning to poke fun at your careful driving.

Incorporate The License Plate Number

Another thing to consider is your license plate number. If the numbers or letters on your license plate form the initials of a particular name, then you can use that name for your car. For example, suppose your license plate contains the letters HRY — you could then name the car Harry. If the license plate contains the letters EVL, then you could name the car Evil Ed or Evelyn.

Consider The Car’s Color

The last thing you can do to come up with a name for your car is to consider the car’s color. If it’s white, then you can call it White Lightning, or if it’s black, then you can call it Black Beauty. Just be sure to think of all your options before you choose a name, and you’ll be fine.

Observing National Name Your Car Day

If you’re thinking about observing National Name Your Car Day, then take a few moments to name your car. As we’ve shown above, there are different ways for you to come up with a name for your car, and all those methods are pretty satisfying.
