most important decision OF YOUR LIFE

Aug 24, 2005 02:50

As I am moving to London in a few short weeks I have lots to do and decisions to make. The most important and pressing of these is obviously the naming of my car. There is a 4-door, standard, steering-wheel-on-the-wrong-side car waiting for me and it must be named. I have only seen this car briefly, so am very unacquainted, but I vaguely remember it being of a darker gray color (gunmetal?) and probably comparable to a Honda Accord in make. One thing I am positive of is that it's British and male.

Now that we have the background settled, it's time to choose a name. Here are a few suggestions:
Guy, Reginald, Sothersby, Sebastian, Winston, Windsor, Charles, Neville, Bernard, Bartlby, Basil, Barrington, Clive, Edmund, Nigel, Rupert, Trevor, Willoughby.

I picked out my top three and decided to look up the origin and meaning on www.nameyobaby.com ...just to be thorough. Here are the results:

Basil-(Greek origin) Like a King
(Couldn't he also sound like a great sidekick in some mystery caper? Was he?)

Willoughby-(English origin) Farm of willows
(If I meet my car and decide that it is a pansy, I will name him this.)

Guy-(Latin) Living spirit
(Not gonna lie, this one is winning. Although, I'm not sure if I like the idea of my car as a 'living spirit' b/c I'm pretty sure I saw a Stephen King movie with a killer car in it...Herbie Fully Loaded on Crack or something.)

Please give me your opinions. Feel free to defend a name or add ones we've never thought of or maybe have never heard of!!! How exciting.
