    Since DH and I have been married we've always referred to our home with a pet name. Our first house was Casa de Y****** (I'm not telling you weirdos my last name...you might know my ILs! LOL) Our new home is The Y***** Center of Excellence.

    I dunno why we do it, but it makes us chuckle. We also refer to ourselves at Team Y******. I love that we do that. It reminds me that we are a team and everything we take on or do in life we do together, as a team. :-)

    We call ours the Weekend Lake House, because when we first bought it, we could only be there and work on it during the weekends, and it's near a lake.  It's just kind of stuck and everyone thinks I'm nuts when I call it that.

    Try it! It's fun...and I think it adds an extra layer of unity and partnership, you know? I mean we are gross...we're that couple that's been attached at the hip forever. And now that we have little ones we call them the Team Y***** Peewee League. LOL

    @luvlyssa HA! I name my cars. I've only had two. My first car, Bessie, was a grey '91 Buick Skylark. My present car is Pixie. She's a 2004 Santa Fe. And I will always refer to them as female....like ships are referred to as "she".

    DH is a car whore. In the 12 years he has had his lisence he has had 12 cars. No names for them. LOL

    We call it homo... But we add o to the end of random things. Another frequent one would be drivo as in "wanna go for a drivo" "time to go homo" and although we rarely use her name our car is called Roxanne, she's red.

    We call our home The Hatch, it's a "LOST" reference...

    I call my car The Minnow because it's tiny. I used to drive a silver Buick Regal and called it The Shark, so when I got my little Toyota...well...it's no shark.

    @OxiMOM LOL!!! I call my house hell. As in "go to hell", "can't I'm already here." But I may have to change it to shit hole, I like it better. I call my car the ugly ass van. I hate my car, it has a problem with the transmission so it's always slipping out of gear, plus a million other little problems, but it's paid for and so far it's still running and I can't afford another.

    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    My home is charmingly called "The Zoo", in reference to the barbarian men I live with and my 5 insane pets. And the car gets referred to as Whipped Cream. Honestly, don't ask me, DH made that one up. He used to just call it our "whip" (yeah he's so cool) but it transformed into Whipped Cream. It's not white, either. It's navy blue. Sigh... men.

    My parents have always named their cars. Mom had a Suzuki Swift named Suzie Q. Dad had a Volkswagen Eurovan named Vincent (Van Go, get it?). After he totalled Vincent by rear-ending a tow truck (ironically), he got a replacement Eurovan named Claude (short for Jean-Claude Van Damn).


    Our current vehicle, a Subaru Forester, does not have a name. However, our GPS is named Karen after Plankton's computer wife in SpongeBob.

    We call our home "The Beach House" (for obvious reasons) but when we describe it we say "it's tall & skinny, just like I wanna be".

    My truck I call "Big Red" or just "JEEP" (this is said in a very loud voice - I also call this out whenever I see another Jeep out driving)

    My GPS was "King William Lloyd the Third".  He was sadly kidnapped. 

    My beach is still Sandy....

    @beachmommy HA! We used to do that when we had our Jeep!  Whoever saw another Jeep would yell JEEP! And our Jeep was bright yellow and so, having a 3 year old at the time, we called it Bumblebee. He loved that damn vehicle. So did my man-child DH.

    I call my place lots of things but it has no official name. I call my car "Little Girl". Only because I'm afraid she'll break down if I call her anything else lol. And she's a girl because all my cars are girls. I had a Cadillac Deville that I named Cruella... Cruella Deville ;)

    I borrowed the idea from a book, and I've dubbed myself "Lady A******, of the House of Testosterone."  DS5 is The Crown Prince (that's how we order for him in restaurants), and DS2 is the Little Prince.

    We call our house The Pit, as in The Money Pit. 

     

    My car is The Beast; my daughter's beetle is Ruby.  My GPS is Gabby - as in she won't ever stop gabbing.
