What’s your ride?

How to name a vehicle

First car or ocean-going yacht, the details make the name. Start with what makes it yours.

Use what makes it yours

Give us make, model, colour and character. A city runabout and a sailing yacht call for different names.

Choose your tone

Classic, cool, funny or elegant. Add a theme — the sea, space, history — or a word to include.

Try it in context

Say it aloud and picture it on the paintwork. For a boat, make sure it’s clear and easy to spell over the radio.

A few questions, answered

Can I use this as a car name generator?

Yes. Choose Car and describe its colour, model and personality. Ask for a classic name, a nickname or a theme.

Does it also generate boat and campervan names?

Yes. Choose Boat or Campervan, or type any vehicle. Add its look, where it takes you and the mood you want.

Can I ask for a name based on the model?

Yes. Include the model or a word to play on. Don’t share a registration number or other identifying details.
