RE: What's your babies name?
oh, I didn't realize people meant they were actually calling the car by that name when they talked about :P
edit: btw, people do label things with names all of the time. To say inanimate objects never have a name is silly. If you don't believe me, go meet my first wife, her name was Christy

I cringe everytime i hear someone address a car as "my baby" , or any given name. My ex used to do it all the time, which is part of the reason i dumped her... I usually address my car as "the car" and sometimes "my car." I can't even manage to say "my mustang" without feeling like a douche bag...[:'(]
I mean, no one says "hey, Jimmy, can you pass me my Motorola?" or "hey, Fred, did you turn off my Dell?"
same principle should be applied to cars, and any other non living thing, IMO.

Gawd no, not this same thread over again please....
It is an inanimate object. It is not a baby. It is not a person. It is not a woman. It is a car.

Whoa, calm down there fellas! You might not think naming your car is cool, or appropriate, or whatever, it's just something people do. You don't believe in naming inanimate objects? I have 2 cats, and they both have names.... Really, it's pretty harmless to name your car. Now, if you start showing actual affection towards it, that's a problem. You can love your car, but you can't LOVE your car.
Anyhow, mine is Mary Jane...
