I didn't name my teg at all. I'm not really that attatched to it. I love the car but don't care much for it because of the lack of power, not much fun to drive and because its an auto. My next car I probobly will name.

How did you guys come up with the names?

Keiko is a Japanese name that means "adored one." I thought it appropriate.

Usually some chick, huh? More-so a female than male name.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for explaining that!
Thats because vehicles are referred to as the female gender. You wouldn't name your daughter Carl would you? No. Thats like calling your son Ali.

I didn't have to...Honda named it for me.

Edit* But if I did, it would be a guy's name...whose idea was it to refer to cars as female anyway...what's up with that?
