    I agree, you have to wait, drive it a bit, and see what it says to you!

    By the way, :welcome:

    There is a thread somewhere with all the names folks on here have given to their Prii. My car is red, and I had to wait almost 3 months for her to arrive, and the name just sort of came to me on the drive home from the dealership!

    I was trying to come up with a name for my Prius that I bought back in November. I wanted a boy's name, because I'm a girl and it just seems more natural that way! :) Anyways, last night when I was doing the hour drive home from work it came to me...Preston! Yay!! By the way, I'm now averaging around 48 mpg...another yay!!

    Now you need a naming ceremony for Preston.

    After 2 days of driving my new Prius, the name has been decided: Val!!

    There are 2 main reasons for this name.
    One is related to the "valkyries", mythological female warriors.
    The second reason is more personal. Val are the first 3 letters of my best friend's name, who prematurely died at the age of 31.

    That being said, I am so happy with my purchase. I just couldn't believe how great it feels to drive this awesome car! I yet have to discover all the little details, but I'm sure I will be enjoying doing so.
    I have already eliminated the reverse beeping thanks to the help of this forum! BTW, I found out I have a Touring edition package 6, not the regular one.. even better! :cheer2:

    Alcohol, a barbecue and some more booze. It's a good excuse to have a party.

    I did a regular christening. Well, not quite regular. Breaking the bottle of champagne was out, so I had the christener (the daughter of a real astronaut) smash a plastic cup of sparkling cider over the bow (less mess to clean up). Then played the theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
