Do you name your cars?

I received a very interesting October calendar on the back of my Apartment news letter. It notes on several days what is special about that day.  For example today is "Name your Car Day."  This will please my grandchildren who are always adamant that I should name my cars. My most recent cars have been named ;Belle" my Buick Rendezvous which I had for seven years.  The Granddaughters named it.  The Disney movie "Beauty and the Beast" was quite popular at the time. Before that there was 'Rose" my red Buick Century and even earlier 'Goldie' a gold color Ford Escort station wagon. I can't remember any names further back but looking at these, with the exception of Belle, it seems that I unimaginatively name my cars after their color.  So it should come as no surprise that my current car, a blue Fiat 500L, is simply named "Bleu." In honor of my daughter-in-law, the French teacher, I am giving it the French spelling. Other than that absolutely no originality. Maybe I'll name my next car Balthazar or Cleopatra. Or, more likely, my next mode of transportation will simply be called 'Bus'.
