I'm a fan of "Pirates of the Carribean" and Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, and since my C is in "Black Sand Pearl" The Black Pearl seemed to fit for me.
Mine is named Purvam, Sanskrit for Prius (Prius & Purvam being, respectively, Latin & Sanskrit for "before"). Properly it's a long "u" but I can't get too carried away. My 2001 Prius, totalled in a hit-and-run on my birthday last year, was named Dvaita, Sanskrit for dualism (as in the duality of having an engine & a motor).
Blue Cicada - Aoi Se-mi Thought of calling it "Natsu Ame" - "Summer Rain" but remembering my childhood in Japan: Summer was the time for cicadas - "se-mi" in Japanese - to come out. Nothing like the sound of cicadas on a hot, humid Tokyo summer day - "mushi atsui."
We bought ours for our son and he named his "Jenee" because shes the purtiest car he ever did see! He is a Forest Gump fan LOL!
Mine is named Bane as it is causes pain to the oil companies. Also, someone is looking forward to the new Batman movie.
My little Summer Rain looks perpetually cheerful, so I named it Knope, after Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec.
