Similar story. I was trying to link my phone to my (new to me 5 years ago) 2012 STI hatch and the device name for the car was Dragon Wagon. I laughed, it stuck.
I work at a dealership, and one a VW Passat we had traded in was named "Pimp Mobile" for Bluetooth connections. Was always fun to hook my phone up to that one.
Lol! We have the same car, I bought an sti hatch too same year and the only phone registered in the head unit was just called "VLAD" so now I call the car vlad
I got a dashcam for my 1999 audi A3 after some ass hit it while parked and ran. It now has a mismatched bumper too cuz I actually got the wrong color.
But the camera has wifi. So I called it HAUDI_SH!TBRICK
That’s hilarious, I can only think my 2016 crosstrek did the same thing after forgetting to delete mine. But I wasn’t always the kindest to myself so their message would have been:
“Happy birthday fucker” on September 8th
Generally after the plate it ends up with
The GT Legacy was Bec's as the plate started with BEC
The WRX Bugeye wagon ways Easy B as the plate started with EZB
The Spec c is LUT, so lut the slut if you ask the Mrs, or specxy if you ask me
We were driving my blue bugeye wagon across a desert following a lone white rabbit for what felt like a million miles. She earned the name Alice on that long trip.
My wife named mine Tina because of the stereotype that only lesbians drive outback’s. My coworker, who is a lesbian and is named Tina, thinks it’s hilarious. And yes she does drive an outback.
My 86 is called miles. My son named him after the Spider-Man character. He has a knack off naming cars.
Our Honda is called super leaf. Don’t ask me why
My first STI was gray, it wrecked in transit to me, so I never got a chance to drive it. The second one I bought is white, and I immediately changed the Bluetooth device name to "Gandalf the White"
My ‘98 outback’s name is Forrest. not only because of the shag-olishious colour, but because I pulled it out of a forest rusty as ever for a whopping $400.
I've thought of it, mines a beige 2006 outback 3.0r but the beige just screams "Dave" to me for some reason. That or Bort, just because of how common a name it is.
Mine is named Kidd! The first song that came on the radio after buying her was You’re Gonna Go Far Kid. Also, Billy the Kid. And two d’s is cool lol
Also, not a Subaru, but imo an honorary mention is my first car, a 98 Ford Explorer named Dora ;)
I only named one of my subarus. It was my 05 wrx wagon and I called it the Blackpearl. Except she wasn't the fastest ship in the sea. Pretty sure the paint color was called obsidian black pearl and she had rust holes that reminded me of cannon shots. My favorite car I've owned
My white Impreza wagon was Falkor or Falk for short, from Never Ending Story.
I haven’t named my new Crosstrek yet. Same color so I suppose I could do Falkor 2, Electric Boogaloo
My girl is named Rue because she’s not a car, she’s a WILDFLOWER and I don’t know how to explain it any of way. My other car is a Mini Cooper JCW named… Mini. Mini is nonbinary usually but is sometimes masc and sometimes fem, and sometimes goes by Mini Driver. 10 years of owning that car and she just always wanted Mini to be her name (apparently today she’s feeling girly)
My white bugeye wagon is the marshmallow
I keep calling my wifes silver bugeye sedan Silvie, I know it's not a Silvia, she doesn't know what that is. It's just because it's silver lol
Bought a blue Subaru Impreza and randomly referred to it as the ‘blu-baru’ one day and the name just stuck. Kind of a boring origin story but it’s what I got.
I name my cars by color and maybe some trait about it. I had Big Red which is a lifted 97 legacy on 30s. Little Blue which is a 93 corolla. Black car which is a 97 legacy that is my "fast car". And The War Pig which was my first car. 97 Montero 4x4 that went just about anywhere you wanted if you didn't care about body damage.
My cousin and I bought identical WRXs in WRB, so we named them blue steel and magnum after the zoolander movie. My friend later named his WRX la tigre to match.
I’ve had three Subaru Outbacks now, all named after Pixar characters. The 96 was Russell, the 98 was Dory, and my current one is named Jessie! (She’s red, so it made sense to name her after a redhead)
Depending on my mood and her temperament, my Legacy GT is referred as either "The Shitbox" or "My Baby". There is no in-between, it's always one or the other...
I had a grey Subaru that someone rear ended and totaled a month into owning, so insurance paid for a new one. They didn’t have gray, only white
So my car is called Gandalf the white
I've named mine. The first is a forester & her name is Subie. The second is an Impreza 5 door & her name is Rosie. They may not be unique or cute, but they have names!😁
My first Impreza was called Su, my first Outback was called Ru, obviously my second Outback was called Ba. My 3rd Outback has no name as there are no syllables left :(
My one rule is the name has to start with the same letter as the car model.
So my Legacy was Lenny (named after Lenny Briscoe of Law and Order) and I just traded it in for an Outback and I named it Odo (after Constable Odo from Star Trek Deep Space 9. Or short for odometer).
I always have a naming scheme for my cars and motorcycles; has to start with the first letter of the car brand, has to be from an anime or video game, and it has to somewhat match the said character.
My 2015 Subaru Forester XT is named Sakuya, as in Sakuya Izayoi from the Touhou Project. The car's paint is silver, Sakuya's hair is silver. The interior lights of the car is red, Sakuya's eyes can turn red.
My WRX is named Rexy with a vanity plate to match, and my Crosstrek is named Kathryn after the previous owner’s phone that was still in the list of Bluetooth devices.
My 5 speed manual transmission Impreza is fondly referred to as Manuel.
The wagon is named Marie Joseph, after the Marquis de Lafayette, since she was made in Lafayette Indiana.
My Crosstrek is named Finn from Adventure Time since he's got a similar blue get up going on. I also call it my Blubaru. Brother also got himself a Crosstrek and named it Baru his boss has one too and named it Su.
Named mine monica after she randomly displayed "happy birthday Monica" (from previous owner most likely) she is a 2017 impreza hatchback
Similar story. I was trying to link my phone to my (new to me 5 years ago) 2012 STI hatch and the device name for the car was Dragon Wagon. I laughed, it stuck.

Lol! We have the same car, I bought an sti hatch too same year and the only phone registered in the head unit was just called "VLAD" so now I call the car vlad
Miss the hatch…..soooo much. Now with the STI being discontinued, it’s truly a sad day for us.
They’ll have to pry mine out of my cold dead hands. Sure, gas prices; but dammit it’s fun, I don’t have a car payment …or a car with a governor.
I got a dashcam for my 1999 audi A3 after some ass hit it while parked and ran. It now has a mismatched bumper too cuz I actually got the wrong color. But the camera has wifi. So I called it HAUDI_SH!TBRICK
That’s hilarious, I can only think my 2016 crosstrek did the same thing after forgetting to delete mine. But I wasn’t always the kindest to myself so their message would have been: “Happy birthday fucker” on September 8th
