Blue Beetle? Valley Forge? Ford Prefect? Captain Planet? Fred?
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like Blue Beetle, but then that makes me think of VW bugs.
I'd name it Winifred, but Teppy named her car that.

Gawd, this car is complicated. The last time I had to RTFM this much was the first time I used an IBM PC back in '84, when I was all "What is this 'Disk Operating System' and why do I need it?"
And there's already software updates for my car.

I didn't. Someone else, maybe?

Stupid memory. Someone had a Toyota Echo named Winifred, didn't they?

I honestly don't know. Mine is an Echo, but no name stuck very well. I don't remember ever wanting to name it Winifred. We call it The Spud.
Maybe someone else named their non-Echo car Winifred?

I am pleased you got a Focus Hatchback, I lurves mine.
I suggest, Mr. Shiny
I have been thinking WAY too much about the dog, whom I know call Robchester Darcy Wigglesworth. I am sending the shelter a question about him.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not me. Only my first car (a dark brown '80 AMC Spirit hatchback) had a nickname, and it was The Beast.
Fred is rare enough any more that you aren't likely to get confused with any other Fred.
Bluebird comes to mind, but were you looking for something a little -- rougher?
