Question What do you call your XK?

Many of us like to give our cars pet names, so I was wondering what you call your car?
My old Daimler XJ6 was called "The Duchess" but my new XK is just called "The Jag" but I want a more fitting name and was thinking "The Countess"

My wife named our 07 XK, the first time she rode in it, "Naggie".
She hates seat belts, and the incessant 'dinging' of the seat belt warning was driving her nuts (our older cars are not so insistent/persistent).

When I bought the XKR-S I thought it was beautiful... it had a mean streak though and as we all know... THIS IS A CAR IF YOU DONT TREAT HER RIGHT... WILL...KILL YOU.

She was named after the Stephen King novel about a killer car... "Christine"

Regarding my Ultimate Black XKR - A friend thought the Raven was a good name... I've also called her "Sweet Caroline" because even though I thought the XKR-S was beatiful... I do rather prefer the more suttle lines and front of the simple R (vs R-S). Very sweet looking car.

Ruby, because it is Claret, in color. Wife named that. BUT, the navigation is Margaret (after Thatcher). The Nav is quite insistent about the service lane to our highway here (270). I got to name the Nav with her brit accent.

I refer to my xkr as my baby girl... Despite her bitchy streak and her sense of humor (at my expense of course).

This is clever and somehow very appropriate moniker, both British in origin and consistent with the continuous expenditures needed to keep these big cats happy. Also, FIFY.

My '11 XKR (Black with Black Pack) is the first car I have ever named. Since it's a black cat and it's always up to all kinds of tricks, I named him Felix
