I realize the thread is not necessarily talking about personalized plates, but I will be getting a custom plate and want it to reflect any informal name for the car.
So, I was considering looking for some references to blue falcons to name my upcoming blue X and I googled it, and well now, I need a new concept...
Actually, I've been naming my vehicles after dragons or dragon-related names. My 2 motorcycles are named after dragons (notably dragons that have people that ride them) and my current car is named after the place that one of those dragons/rider lives. Unfortunately, while my current car being a mountain-rocky-gray color makes sense to name after a mountain where a dragonrider lives, the blue of the Tesla isn't really a color of mountains. And there aren't a lot of well-known blue dragons out there...
Plan A, but it didn't work out, would have been to name it after the little blue pet dragon in the DragonHunters animated series, but the name (Hector) was already taken. It would have been apropos because Hector was the pedaling "motor" of the flying apparatus that they used for transportation, and his ears look like FWDs.
My current best Plan B option is Arith, a blue dragon from Anne McCaffrey's novels who liked to be loaded up with people and supplies. I'll have to reread the novels to reconnect with the name, though (particularly since I have to look up the name again every time I think of it). All of the previous names came to me without having to do any searches or research so it feels a little anti-climactic to have to look up a name.
