Owning a car comes with many responsibilities. One of the most significant responsibilities is choosing a name. More than 42 students submitted their car names in a survey. Here are the top ten car names at West Ottawa High School.
10.
Car name: Speedy Boi
Car Owner: Gabriel Herrick
Reason: “Cuz it fast.”
9.
Car Name: C3PO
Car Owner: Macey Dykema
Reason: “It looks like as if it was C3PO, if he was a car.”
8.
Car Name: Harold
Car Owner: Jurrien Wilson
Reason: “It just seems like an iconic car name. And my cars kind of big and bulky so Harold seems to fit. It’s a go-to name for me when naming objects.”
7.
Car Name: Ord the Ford
Car Owner: Katlyn Kohley
Reason: “He’s a big beast. Ord gets me through everything. I knew he needed an old styled name that would show off his worn off, beat up character but still portray his beast side!”
6.
Car name: Phineas
Car Owner: Madelynn Tippett
Reason: “My sister had recently gotten new vehicle, a Chevy Suburban. She decided to name it Freb after we had called it Burb for so long. From there our group of friends named our cars according to the show, and hence, Phineas was dubbed.”
5.
Car Name: Sally the Saturn or The Green Zebra
Car Owner: Faith Haley
Reason: “I just thought Sally had a nice ring to it. Plus Sally starts with an ‘S’ and so does Saturn. What my car was originally named was ‘The Green Zebra’ because it’s green, and it has a lime green zebra on the front license plate.”
4.
Car Name: Linda
Car Owner: Haley Baar
Reason: “Whenever I get mad at my car I just call her Linda. It’s pretty funny when I’m with my friends, and we just yell ‘really Linda?!’”
3.
Car Name: The Toaster
Car Owner: Jack Hendrick
Reason: “I drive a black 2003 Honda Element. From a distance, it looks like a toaster, and in the summer it’s as hot as one.”
2.
Car Name: Hue the Vue
Car Owner: Ashleigh Bora
Reason: “I call the car Hue because I wanted a name that rhymes with the make of my car. Hence how Hue the Vue came to be!”
1.
Car name: Aileen
Car Owner: Morgan Miller
Reason: “One day I walked outside and an owl had killed something on my hood, leaving blood splatters. So, I named my car after the only female serial killer I knew of.”
