When Shakespeare said that there is nothing in a name, car owners still couldn't resist naming their cars. A name can define one's personality and the same goes for cars too. Naming cars has become a trend these days.

One of the various ways car owners express their love for their cars is by giving them a hilarious name. There are quite a few factors that you can consider while naming cars. Here they are:

  • Assess your car's model and built.
  • Evaluate the purpose of your car. Maybe you bought it for road trips? Or just for regular purposes?
  • Your car's colour could also be a deciding factor. 
  • If you have already decided on the gender of your car, consider that before naming your car.
  • Spark creativity.

If you want to pick a name for your car (be it a real car or a toy one!), we have put together a list of funny car names to help you! Super funny car names can be based on the color, model, shape, size of the car, and any other features the car possesses.
