I have been the proud owner of a Sunset Orange Element for 9 days. And she has been christened "Plastic Thunder" in honor of her floors. No one except for Element owners can understand what this means to me. PLASTIC FLOORS. They are not only impervious to kids, weather, sports gear, ... this car welcomes the chaos. And wears it well.

I have never been a car person before. But now I'm ruined. I literally have the coolest car available.

Anyone else name their cars?[/i]

Welcome and Congrats on your new edition.

There is a post under the "Misc." category that is pages and pages long with people's names for their E.

BTW....my E is names BayBEEEEE Blue (he is Eternal Blue Pearl)

Nomad is the name of my NHBP

His theme song isn Ramblin Man by Lemon Jelly.

My parents SOPY is Seemo (I don't know why yet)

I looking for some graphics for the element.

Heh lets see I usually call mine my E, or E Box. A few of my friends call it the Bang Box, because it looks like a square box and in reference to the good old Bang Bus. I'm sure there are probably a few more but none that I can remember right now.

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! ThunderFloors! HO!

But seriously, "Plastic Thunder" is a great name for an Element

My wife calls ours "Orange Elephant", or just plain "The Ellyfant"... sometimes I feel like I'm riding an elephant compared to my old Hyundai Tiburon...but the air is much cleaner up there! :D

I named my SOP, The Big Kahuna. I have a Tiki dash wobbler and so to be getting some hawiian seat covers.

I think the Elements look like the old surfing Woodys so I call mine Gidget because when I look at it I want to go the beach and dance to some groovy surf riffs.

Ellie

Elsie

but mine is a SMM that just begged to be called "The Armadillo" or "the dillo" for short!

Wife's SOP....named China :roll:

I'm driving and EBP that earned the name "THE MOTHERSHIP" from the first time one of my buddies saw it. I love it.

let me take a stab at this:

My parents SOPY is Seemo (I don't know why yet)

is it because they can see mo' in their E?

hahahahaha

My E has been dubbed (not by me) the Johnny Cab, after the taxi's in the Total Recall movie...(the shape is kinda similar)

Mostly, I've been calling it the "E," but that's obviously not so unique around this site. One of my first road trips was to a cross country ski resort in the Adirondacks, and the owner of the place said, "Wow, it looks like a toaster." (It's Silver Satin Metallic). So I've referred to it as a toaster from time to time, but I'd like something a little more flattering than that. I just don't want to nickname it myself. I'd rather the name just appeared one day, like the Element itself.

I have SOP, too!

Her name is Spicey.

I have a SOP 4WD EX and call it my "Party Box." I can't wait until Jimmy Buffet is in town next! This ride is perfect for tailgating at concerts and ball games.

:D

My Element is known at the moment as The Big Pumpkin because it is SOP. I joked with my wife that Honda should have used green plastic instead of the gray. The other day on the highway a small green convertible was in front of me so I told my wife that it is the pumpkin's stem. My little twin brothers-in-law called it "mini-hummer" when they first saw it.

We call ours the FUG. We love FUG! 8)

Our sop's been tagged "the pumpkin"

Verry appropriate when we blast some classic funkadelic tunes!!
:D

my SOP is refered to as "The Big Orange Box" or "The Short Bus"

Got my "handle" after I picked up my Element and we went to my wife's mom's house
She looked at the car and said..............wow that color is a little orangey for my taste.

ding ding - I got my name!

ORANGEE
8) 8) 8)

My sop is called: MINIME'S HUMVEE

My SOP will be delivered in a few weeks. I've already got the forms filled out for the license plate "SUMVEE" for sport utility mini van.

My E's name came to me in my sleep: Sir Elliott Green. All my other cars have been female, but this one is clearly male.

I call mine my MiniHummer. :D

My E is named Sparky, for her Sparkling personality :)

I call my Element the "Honda".
Should we take the "Honda" type thing.

The Borg Cube.

Friend of mine, a star trek fan, named it after the Cube muscled over a decent sized tree stump. He said "I think the Borg Cube just assimilated that tree stump!" Since then it kinda stuck.

I just call it my E the name has not come to me yet :roll: My wife calls it the big green booger! :wink:

MINE ITS CALLED "BABY HUMMER" THATS HOW EVERYBODY THAT SEE IT CALLED SO I GOT USED TO IT.

We live near an army base and I call my green Element "Tank." Seems to fit!

My wife calls mine E.T. thinks it is out of this world!

I just got my brand new SOP 4WD EX. When my dad saw it, he said... "It's a LOLLIPOP!" I also like BugE.

Waited almost two months for mine. Before it arrived, I showed a friend at work a picture of the SOP in the Element brochure, and said... I just put in an order for this. My friend said... You're kidding! I just got the exact same car two weeks ago!

The other day, was on a dinner run to Taco Bell and found myself behind another E. We drove for several miles before both of us turned in at Taco Bell. Too funny.

It's a fun car. Love everything, but my mom has trouble getting in the back seat. Anyone find a solution to that besides getting the $500 steps?

Nice to find all these E owners.

I've got the SOP and been calling mine, "Miss Ellie."

Although, I do kinda like TANG and TIGGER

TANG! Love the name!

Been driving mine for half a month now and loving it. Drives like a dream!

Thanks for the note!

Mine's called Stubby. :)

John

Mine was named by a friend of mine.... My SOP is called the Tardis after the "Doctor Who" show where he travels through space in what looks like a small phone booth on the outside but when u open the doors it reveals a HUGE ass space ship inside... Same feeling i get everytime i open my doors :D

I call my black EX The Black Pearl, after the ship in Pirates of the Carribbean (first movie we went to after I bought it).

Starting to call mine the LunchBoxter. I have a little less than 3000 miles on it and on my current tank of gas, I've driven over 350 miles & the light hasn't even come on yet. I think that means I'll do even better than the usual 26-27 mpg. Happy camper here....

El Diablo is my black e......

We affectionately refer to our Element as "Fishy" for Fisher-Price. Is any further explanation necessary? :D [/b]

THIS IS THE COOLEST THREAD ON THE BOARD!!!

(roaring) I love it!

green meanie just helped me name mine through a thread on "the other" board.

yoda

First time my 3-year old saw it she named it:

The Pirate

Mine is called Églantine... 8)

Mine is Galapagos Green, so his name is Verde.

Mine is Satin silver EX, everybody call it John's Box.

I named it box on wheels(boxonw)

Since it a Satin Silver EX, i'll add the Y to it and call it SSEXY.

How is that for Logics?

My wife and I call our Silver Element "Duplo". We have a 1 year old baby girl named Random, who has so much duplo, we thought it just seemed appropriate. We've only had it a week now (our car, not the kid). :wink:

I call mine the "Hundo". Partially because its a play on "Honda", and partially it is esperanto for "dog". I'm a HUGE dog fan and have three of them myself, so now I have three dogs and the big Hundo in which I pile said dogs into. :D

My wife calls it the Elemento.

-Oscar

Tortuga

I've never been one for naming my cars. Usually the only cars we've named have been bad names (such as a car whose auto-transmission was pretty much shot, and shifted VERY rough... named Lurch.. :roll: )

If I was to name my car though, it would have to be Leeloo (from the wonderful movie.. The Fifth Element) My brother-in-law just calls it the Fifth Element everytime he sees it anyway, and that was her name in the movie.

We call ours "The Short Blue Bus"

We call our E "The Box". Not very original, but oh well. I have a license plate frame that says " Would You, Could You In A Box?"..........Trying to think of a custom plate....

my E named me. I never thot about giving it a name. I have to figure out it's sex first. lol

Yes, get the $350 steps from H & A accessories. A little tricky to install, but if you park your side wheels on a curb you can do it yourself. My parents can get in and out now. They are very sturdy and look good too. (they are the honda parts for alot less, especially without paying for installation).

Woobie2. I had a prelude for 15 years... my first car, bought it with 70k on it. It lasted 'til 330k! A friend of mine dubbed it the Woobiecar, although another buddy called it Smokey Joe for the 15 minute warmup every morning. DOH!

Since I'm planning on having this one a LOOOONG time, and it'll stay close to me, Woobie2 seemed appropriate.

I drove my new E to a picnic today and my former co workers immediately dubbed it “The Spam Can”

Watson, as in "Elementary, my dear Watson!"

"Fluffy" because it's so .. not ;-)

She even has her own fuzzy pink Flamingo that is also named Fluffy. The Flamingo rides in the side window when he isn't taking up bed space like this: Take a peek!

http://www.dreamlinks.net/~spldr/pics/ruffingit.jpg

Mine is called "Ugly-Hot", I find it looks alot like my Boston Terriers. All I need is a single white "shelby" stripe down the middle of it!

My car's name is Sunny

My navigation system's name is Nova

My license plate says "ILoveMYSOP" (a heart for the word love)

Today my 9 year old daughter said I have been acting like a kid since I got my car. When I was in my 20s I had a Chevy Camaro convertible and I didn't like it nearly as much as I love my E.

My E gets an A from me.

:mrgreen: OK WE GOT OURS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND AFTER A FEW NAME CHANGES WE FINALLY FOUND THE RIGHT ONE "LITTLE EL" :mrgreen:

My old Navy buddy calls it The Hiroshima Hummer.

i don't even HAVE an E yet - i'm hoping to get a Shoreline Mist Metallic as soon as i can save up. have to convince the hubby first, tho - he just bought a new car this year. it'll be a squeeze, but i NEED a car also 'cos mine's on its last leg. and i am DYING to get an E - it just seems like the best car out there!!!!! so, if i am successful, my E will be named HUMPHREY. wish me luck!!!!!!

Babar, King of the Elements!

i named my e Lucy, don't ask why or where the name came from. Was just sitting at a stop sign and that came to mind. :P

dragonfly....your E is in good company, another member, Kim, has an SOP named Lucy.....a'la "I Love Lucy" :lol:

Edger

Okay, as excited as I am to be getting one in 2004, I've already started thinking of nicknames and plates... here's some that I think are "Fun-E"...

Fun-E
Sun-E
Hap-E
Nast-E
Woop-E
(the colors... Green-E, Black-E...etc.)

And for the Star Wars fans like me...

Kenob-E
Chew-E
and the one I might get... Wook-E

What about....


"E-wok"

My personal favorite :wink:

Yes! E-wok! another great one. (if you can stand those lil' teddy bears..heh)

BOXE1 as the license plate reads seems appropriate. They wouldn't let me choose fugly.

Yes! E-wok! another great one. (if you can stand those lil' teddy bears..heh)


I happen to love E-woks.....in fact in 3rd grade I was an E-wok for Halloween....being the total girl that I am I find E-woks the best part of Star Wars.....so cute like warm fuzzie bunnies :wink:

[quote]....being the total girl that I am I find E-woks the best part of Star Wars.....so cute like warm fuzzie bunnies :wink:

Sounds like maybe GIRL-E is a better one for ya. :wink:

I've had my new ride 2 weeks he has bee named Elmo the Element. But I call him Mo for short, cause he's mo fun to drive and mo exciting than any vehicle that I have had in a long time! :D .

My 4 year old calls my SOP Element
"The Jumping car"
I dont totally know why but it fits somehow.

Perhaps your child has to jump up to get in, or jump down to get out?

-brendan

Most of my cars have been female. (Except a Dodge Shadow that was known to all after a while as the S#*&Box, for a variety of workmanship and design flaws). I guess I have always followed the custom of naming cars like ships - "she" names. But then ELVIS just came to me. Its black, and boxy, kind of like ELVIS' hair in the 50's. Mr. Presley was known as "E" to his friends.

Although driving it back from Texas to Arizona, I happened on a radio station that played 24/7 JOHNNY CASH - The Man In Black. So I could be the Man In the Black ELEMENT.

Also thought about ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK, but my E really is a male car - even though every red-blooded Texas cowboy driving an American truck pointed and laughed as I cruised through West Texas! Took care of them, romped it to 90 when safe to do so and passed them laughing back.

I'm thinking Wanda, as in, Wanda the Honda or as Neil Young once sang, I'm kinda fond of Wanda!

Along the line of jimxenus, we have named ours Sherlock. It was either that or Holmes, and we were afraid some people might get the wrong idea with that name.... :wink:

Our E is GG colored and at night with only the parking lights on we named him the Green Goblin. Kind of fitting with how ugly he is.

Went out to dinner with my brother the night I got my SOP E. Heading to the parking lot he asked; where'd you park your orange box? My kid's picked it up so now everyone just calls her "The Orange Box". I am thinking of getting ORNGCR8 as a personlized license plate.

8)

My wife and I just got our Element, and love it!! We are most definatly not Generation Y or X....our kids our!

Any way my wife drives a red Honda Accord 2 door named "Lucy" I drive the Element in Shorline Mist. His name is "Ricky" Can you guess were the names come from?

Wow, great thread!
I really like LeeLoo - GREAT movie! Perfect with the orange hair for a SOP!
I like Chew-e for the starwars fans as well.
I love Hawaii, having spent a month there working, so I have my "Live Aloha" bumper sticker (saved it for a year for my Element) and some petroglyph turtles on the rear corner window - making mine the "orange turtle"!

My E has different names depending on my mood. When I first got it, I told a friend that it's definitely not a car, and I don't like referring to it as just "my truck", so now my friends and I call it the E-Rig.

After packing everything back up after a campout and it all fit so nicely, I closed the rear hatch and said, "Good job, Big-E".

I've also considered calling him Watson, as in "It's my Element, Dear Watson". :D

Mine is simply "the E". Yeah, I know it's plain, but, what the heck! 8)

Ok, It took like 2 months but I finally have a name for my E. I struggled with name like Easy E and El negro (our car being a NBP EX 4WD AUTO). We have fianlly decided on Empanada (it's a spanish beef pattie, It's one of my favorites foods... ) It's to hot to handle and it's full of meat! :lol: . Actually i don't know exactly why... but it fits! :D

SM for Safari Mobile...named by a friend on the way home from the dealership...Saturday is two weeks that I've had her! Woohoo!! I've loved all 800 miles so far!

[quote:9463bf627d="ilovekermit"]SM for Safari Mobile...named by a friend on the way home from the dealership...Saturday is two weeks that I've had her! Woohoo!! I've loved all 800 miles so far![/quote:9463bf627d]
Safari Mobile does fit. I sighted my first E pulling into a parking space as I walked out of Blockbusters, and my first thought was that it looked like it was just pulling in from the Kalahari Desert. Had to go see what it was and was instantly hooked.

The E replaces the Funkmobile, a frosted lime green Eagle Summit Wagon, so it is called Uberfunk. I wanted to name it Senor Froggy but the wife ruled against it.

I may have a contest with some friends from church to name my E, perhaps as a fund raiser for charity. I'll charge a dollar a vote. The two candidates so far are:
Gus - short and sweet, seems to go well with a faithful dog or work horse
Zirc - fullname would be Zirconium, a lesser known element (number 40 on your periodic table)

My first day pullin into my driveway I had about 5 or 6 kids runnin up to me askin for icecream.... so I dubed it the Icecreamer

My kids have dubbed it Bob the Box. I was hoping for something more glamorous, but Bob it remains.

I own the Shoreline myst, it looks kinda brown, so I've been calling it the

CARDBOARD BOX


pray for snow

"Song #2" from the band Blur was the theme song for the Element parade video from the Northern California Element club. I was so impressed that I put the song on CD, and played it every where i went for a couple of days. Now my 4 and 6 year old granddaughters call My Element the Woo HOO car and say play that song again granddaddy. Maybe I will call it my Woo HOO car but for now I just call it My Orange Cool Box. 8)


for those that have not seen the parade.
http://apposite.org/video/EonParademovie.wmv

I own a Shoreline Myst, i kinda looks brown, so I've been calling it THE CARDBOARD BOX

i just call mine "E" lol but as late i been wanting to call it "maggie" ..
know no one named that. just seems to fit. lol
i had two sports cars i named in the past my sunbeam alpine i used to call matilda, and a austin healy id refer to as "martha" might as well stick witht the EM's heh..
best
D.

It's a fun car. Love everything, but my mom has trouble getting in the back seat. Anyone find a solution to that besides getting the $500 steps?

Bay Girl, About your mothers entry problem. Explain to your mother she has to enter the same way most of us are going to get into heaven. ON our hands and knees. Maybe thats not such a good idea after all.

When our children saw the Element ads and then saw me sitting proudly in my new SOP, they immediately came up with the name: "The Elderment".

It stuck.

My E is called Regina. becasue this is a tough girls name in Latin it means Queen. Enjoy

I've owned my Element now for two weeks. My brother named my Element and unfortunately tne name has stuck with my family, friends and co-workers. The story goes, my brother called and I told him about the Element and my mother was in the background saying "I knew it, he got a Hummer didn't he?" My brother started laughing and said " nope more like a Honda Hummer!" I thought the story was funny and told some friends and the name has stuck. And yes, I was also looking at Hummers when I purchased.

Brian

:lol: I call mine the South Park Bus. I feel like I am Carmen or someone on SouthPark. Love my E, but it took a while. My husbands co-workers call it the pumpkin on wheels, because I have a Sunset Orange E.

I'm the mascot for a professional hockey team. Since I tote around all my mascot geat in it I've been known to call it the SMELL-EMENT.

I think I'm gonna get a license plate that says SLAP WGN. My alter-ego's name is SLAPSHOT.

Also thought I'd get a plate that said PIMP WGN, that didn't go over too well.

Great names! Especially Leeloo! I wish I'd thought of that one.

We've been calling my SOP "The Omelet". Silly, I know, but it stuck and now that's what we call it. :D

For now...Bear
though I'm thinking that WookE is more appropriate(you'd have to see a picture of me to get it :lol: )

jesse

I actually have never named a car before, and always thought folks who did were kind of ....different. BUT, I've had my new '04 SOP E for a week now, and it is the first car I ever owned that actually seems to NEED a name! Since I can't now, nor likely ever will, be able to afford my Porsche Boxter, my wife astutely pointed out that the E could be named "Boxter" with a high degree of appropriateness. So "Boxter" it is!! Lovin' my E!!!

With the subwoofer in the back, my MBP is The Boom Bocks.

I call mine "The Short Bus".

I have the Blur song from the Elements on Parade from the Northern Ca club vidio. I played the song as my grand children and I drove down the street. My grand kids dubbed her the Yoo-Hoo car. I guess it might stick.

I'm not sure if these have already been posted yet, but one lady called mine a "Little Safari Vehicle," and another friend seems to enjoy calling it "The Space Ship," which looks like it may stick unfortunately, haha.

HUMWEE :wink:

The green gives it a military look.

Bought some steel DX wheels which I'm going to paint to match the E, then I'll mount 235/70/16 BFG All-Terrain KO's. Should look pretty good.

Thinking about the Aries brush guard and tail light protectors as well.

Mark

My wife named ours the "Brave Little Toaster."

They are called, little element :)

I mentioned this elsewhere but this seems like the definitive Element Nickname thread.

Mine is called Q-Bert, 'cause it looks like a cube and it looks like a Bert.

That was a great game! :P

Me E's name is the BEATBOX!
Been playing drums for 25 years! :)

Tackbox

My last name is Sussman, so I've been calling my E "The Suss-Box."

My Sunset Orange Pearl 2003 Element Y 4WD is called "Stardust"!

I chose the name basically because I'm a David Bowie fan, and the color of the E reminded me of Ziggy Stardust's hair... :wink: Lol!

Not to mention that the Element has an out-of-this-world look, and I've been asked, "Geee... From which planet does your car come from?!" Lol!

So that's the first name that came up to mind when I first looked at it, and it stuck! :P

My mother's Fiji Blue Pearl 2004 Element Y 4WD is called "BébéDoll"! Lol! Now don't even ask me the story behind that one! It would be WAY too long to explain! :roll:

Amélie :D

I have a Samba Green Pearl Del Sol that we call Greeny. I'm still thinking of a name for the Element. My girlfriend says that when she lived out west everyone called their rides their "rigs". I started calling it that and she made fun of me so I quit. I still think its kind of cool though.

One of my students said I should call my new SOP E "Velma" after the girl on Scooby doo who always wears orange and "is kinda nerdy like you, Mr. Schwartz.."


Holy crap that was a good one :lol: ... think it might stick!

My guy's name is the "Beep Beep"... I am so glad the horn isn't too corny, but it just kinda looks like it would go... BEEP BEEP :D

Hummette.

My 5-year-old daughter called the E "hippo-chan" the very first time she saw the thing. So Hippo-chan (little hippo) it was called from then on.

My E is named PIG, and she is a fiji pearl blue E :D

khal-bE

I've got a green 2003 DX. My wife and I call it the "Tank"

My dad in-law called it Cleopatra's Barge after lounging in the back seat and giving weather updates every twenty minutes looking out of the moonroof, inquiring whether we had some grapes. So: CL-E-O it is. All of a sudden shot-gun is not the most favorite passenger place to be anymore.

This is funny, I only thought my daughter named cars. We got the SOP and she thought of Velma. Velma from Scooby Doo, always wearing the orange sweater.

Ha, so now we have Velma.

Just got my SSM EXS last weekend...

He has been named "Bob" (technically, BobX... as this is the tenth car I have owned and all have been named Bob).

Now, if I can just get my wife to stop calling my E "Cuthbert"... gah!

2004 EXS AWD Auto SSM - Large Arm Rest, Mud Flaps and rubberized shelf paper in the cubby holes :)

I named my 04 NBP EX Stog'E (cause it will soon smell like cigars) other names i had in mind were
The General Eee (lil dukes of hazzard reference)
Guacamol'E (of course this would work much better on the Galapagos Green E) and if you some how crossed a SOP with a Galapagos Green E you could call it Halloween'E ok it must be getting late :wink: ok ok one more Wooly Bull'E,Eee i Eee i Ohh... these are getting bad!Wiley Coyot'E mmmeeep mmmeeep

Wow another Whovian! I believe the "scientific by BBC" term was Dimensionally Transcendental. We pick up our E Monday. She's been dubbed the GypsyWagon. Whenever one of our dogs is bad, I tell my husband that I've called the Gypsies and they'll be by in a day or two to pick them up and take them away. Xena gets the "Gypsy Warning" alot! Well we're going to be a year long tour starting in November - with the two dogs...which is why we're adopting the SOP-E. Jokingly I said if you can't beat 'em join 'em. So we're applying for the GYPSYWGN plate.

We nerds should stick together! I have a Velma figure 1" tall that was velcro-ed to the instrument panel of my former ride (82 Honda Accord), she's moving to the GypsyWagon SOP on Monday. My husband has a Shaggy figure in his truck. They came from the WB store that used to be in our local mall. If you're interested you could probably track one down on ebay? Which by the way, how about E-Bay for a Blue E?

i've dubbed my element with my own nickname Tonas. i'm sure it won't be long before i get the lisence plates to make it official.

A friend of mine thinks the Element looks like a refrigerator on wheels, so mine is now "The Fridge". I'm thinking of using the decals from a recent Mini Cooper magazine ad to officially name her.

i have many names for my Element like: Ellie, E, Tank, Gryphon (Griffin), Sunfire and Survivor (was in a crash, has the whole front end ripped off but is still driving today! can't even tell!) :shock:

:D Mine's Helga! (SOP, 4WD EX 5MT)
First female car I've owned!

Boxster

I just have to say:

LOVE the Leeloo, Lunchboxter, and Spamcan names!

Starduster--- Yay! My husband always wants to hear "Space Oddysey" in our E!

We named ours the "Totoro Bus" from the movie, My Neighbor Totoro. Totoro is the grey creature in my avatar. In the movie there's a really cool Catbus, and we were going to name it that if we got the Orange one, but since we got Silver, we call it Totoro because it's boxy and big (compared to our past cars). The little green leaf is like my iPod mini which is green. :)

Just for reference as to why I think the E is so -big-... I used to have a Hyundai Accent that we called "The Scooter" because the engine was SO WEAK I could hardly even make it over a snow pile 1" high without a push!

:shock:

incredibly unoriginal, but she has been named "Ellie"

We have dubbed our Sunset Orange Element, "The Thing". Any Fantastic Four fans out there that get the reference?

Now that we've had our E for almost 2 weeks...we've decided that GypsyWagon is more of a category than a name. We've been searching for a real name. It came to me yesterday driving home...

Gina...short for Orangina (you know like the soda)!

I just got my Element last Thursday. It was hard to decide, but we finally decided to name him Elliott; not as in 'E.T.,' but as in 'Goldenthal,' a composer. :D

In the spirit of the utility of the design, my family afffectionately refers to our "E" as either "the rubber room and/or dumpster on wheels"

Welcome to the EOC greenmountian boy! Haven't seen ya 'round before. 8)
