    I did.

    It was a 1975 Nova hatchback; I named her Blossom.

    I traded her in on a 1985 Nova which I named Gumby; I didn't like him.

    Thanks for replying.

    Come to think of it, that may have been a 1986 Nova.

    Yes, his name was Melborne. It was a blue Cavalier. My friends had cool cars and I had Melborne. My whole family started calling the car Melborne. We all smile when we talk about it now.

    This has come up several times on the Ferrari owners club site -- I would guess that probably 75% do not "name" their cars, or have a personalized license plate. (yes, maybe 25% do -)

    The majority think that this is somehow just a little too cute or something...

    I didn't but my sister named her first car. It was a white 1968 mustang, she named it Roxanne.

    It may be beneath the dignity of such a high-end car?

    Do rich parents give their kids nicknames?

    A few do name their Ferraris, most do not. I think it may be a man/vs/woman thing as much as anything. We have very few woman Ferrari owners participating; maybe only 3 or 4 that I can think of. On curiosity is that most owners know their serial number by heart (or at least the last 5 digits) - we refer to the cars that way quite often. True custom-body Ferraris are sometimes called by the name of the original owner who commissioned them.
