Quite right, I've only ever named one car and thats Hammie. When I was waiting
for his new exhaust to be put on (the day after I bought him) I was at a
bookstore reading a "Baby Blues" comic. It occured to me that Hammie was my
second Mercedes and the character Hammie in the comic is the second child. Fit
perfect.
I tried to name the 190D when I first got it and nothing would stick. Then I
realized I was trying too hard, a good name will just come.

My friend, who lives in Higgins Beach, Maine, had a big old Buick 225
that
had been sideswiped. Since it looked like a bite had been taken out of
it,
we called it "The Great White".
Point being, names should come to you...you shouldn't have to think
about
it.

Holy cripes! I think I just got the name for the 190D. I was thinking about how
long its taking to get it driveable (still waiting on that driveshaft,
hopefully Friday) and I got thinking about the "delay fish" from "Finding
Nemo"...

Hey, thanks for the clarification, but isn't there a distinct term for
assigning attributes of living entities to the non-living? e.g. "That
cloud looks like a fuzzy bunny" or "those two roundish rocks look
rather buxom" My greek and latin etymology is a tad rusty these days.
