(Apologies if such a thread already existed; did a quick Search but couldn't find one.)
For a bit of silliness...
A Lude by any other name would sound as sweet, but does yours have one? Let's hear it, and the story behind!

"The Black One" because the other two are "The Silver One" and "The Red One"

"BB1" and "BB4"
ive called them both a few names when they prove difficult to work on
i was going to call the BB1 " The Dog" as it had a large guard dog sitting on the roof of it when i picked it from a scrapyard

its still got the scratches on the back window...
would be a bit of a cliche though

The only car I've properly named is my Hilux, she's called Katie because of her number plate. I don't normally name cars though...

Mine was just 'The Prelude' until I got a second one, then it was 'The Black Prelude' too (although technically it was grey, but try explaining the concept of Phantom Grey that to everyone who doesn't own a Prelude) and the other was 'The Red Prelude'.

My Mrs named my Prelude 'Nigella', as it has NGW in the reg (tenuous I know...) and she has curvy hips
The lude, not the Mrs...
Then again though...

My old Lude was called "the Lude" or "the sexy Lude".
My old Accord was called "the Shinymobile"
My ATR is called "the Asbo Barge"
My Civic is called "the Civic"
My Odyssey is called "the Ody" or "the Bus".
Inventive, I know.

any car i have owned and named i have crashed or wrapped around a wall so i have stopped naming cars as a matter of willingness to live. Although it could just be my driving got better and i should look to name mine.
