We never did, growing up. Not sure if older brother did. He was the only one *with* anything (a series of VW bugs --- this was the 60s).
Now, John OTOH, he names a lot of stuff. Even at the Christmas Three farm, he named our first planed seedling "Earl." Then we were concerned about what happened if Earl died before it became a Christmas tree going to a family. So, John decided to name ALL the seedlings "Earl." Worked for me.
It kinda helps when there so much of similar things (a/k/a when you have daughers). "He's gone off in Charlie" vs "in the '49" ... or "Chevy." Especially when the stable was filling up.
Some fun names like "Smedley D" for the
1971 5-ton.
Hoopty van. Quigley. Hmm ... my cars didn't have any names, that I recall. "Mom's car."
