From Ube to Violet, we’ve got all the best names for your purple car—whether it’s a he, she, they, royalty, superhero, or something else altogether.

Purple cars are rare! Only 0.1% of cars on the road in the U.S. are purple, and most of these are sports cars and exotic models. We think there should be more purple cars on the road—after all, purple symbolizes royalty, creativity, romance, and adventure. Purple also pops on social media, too.

But what should you name your rare purple car? Will you choose something dignified like Lady Violet or something playfully sinister like Joker? We’ve got you covered. The

How to name your car

Naming a car is, thankfully, not the same as naming a child. You can invent new nicknames, change your car’s name on the fly, and get totally creative with the fancy titles you design to describe your vehicle.

Here are some expert tips for coming up with the perfect name for your ride:

Consider the personality of the car: Do you drive a luxurious, sleek beast? Or is she a bit rough around the edges? Does she struggle up the hills? Sing on the freeways? Try embracing the personality of your car—or go for an opposite descriptor for a bit of humor.

Incorporate your interests: Copyright laws don’t apply to car names! No one will stop you if you want to name your car after a celebrity, a TV show character, a sports star, or a historic figure.

Base it on the license plate letters: The best car names are somehow related to the car, whether it’s the make and model (a Honda named Wanda) or the license plate (STR 0387 called Striker).

Go with your gut: You can’t control everything. Maybe your super sexy Lamborghini just feels like a Gus. Don’t try to logic yourself out of a name that feels right in your gut.

It’s important to figure out whether your car has a gender, too. Don’t limit yourself! Your car could be female, like the ancient ships named after women to placate the sea goddesses. Your car could be male, nonbinary, or somewhere else on the gender spectrum. Then again, perhaps your car is too cool for gender and has a single superhero moniker, instead.

Either way, get to know your vehicle before settling on an official name. Give yourself time to try out the name, too. Does it roll off your tongue and make your friends and family smile? You might have a winner.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
