Ours is called Elsa as it snowed the day we picked her up.  

We even we went so far as to get a hip flask with her name and the date we collected her engraved upon itLaughing

The kids named ours Helga. (derived from Old Norse language, meaning Holy or Blessed).

My van is caller Lizzy ( Elizabeth) as I picked her up on the jubilee weekend. So it was only fitting to call her sister the caravan Marg ( Margret)

We Call our Van "Misty". Because it's an Elddis Mistral & it was misty & raining the day we collected it. Don't name the car because it's changed every three years.

The Santa Fe, the Roadster, and the caravan. Not as inventive as 'Alan the Wheelbarrow' I know (my favourite so far), but at least we all know who we are talking about.

I did have a cat called Clive once, does that help?
