    Just an observation that I found interesting many years ago when I came across it:

    CS Lewis once wrote that male and female are biological life's participation in that greater polarity of the universe--Masculine and Feminine---and that is was not by accident that the Romans referred to their ships as 'she.'"


    Also interesting that our youngest son named his first truck using a female name. This post was edited by tom jackson at May 20, 2017 5:08 PM MDT

    Vehicles, yes. Appliances, no. The gender of a vehicle depends on the vehicle, itself. My truck was male- it's name was "Trucky." My van doesn't appear to have a gender.

    My father-in-law gives all of his cars female names and he always picks a name that starts with the same letter as the model of the car.  My father-in-law is originally from Wisconsin and my hubby said naming cars is something people from Wisconsin do.

    My hubby and I have a few cars and trucks so with us it's just the Camaro, the old International, the Grand Am, the Charger or the horse trailer.

  • I'm from Wisconsin, but never name the cars. I know people who have or do. I did call my Altima Alty, but that's what everyone called them. I just call my Ford Slow.

    I did when I was in high school and had to take German and Spanish.  I put little sticky notes on everything with the German and Spanish word for it with the correct article.

    Also they're not cars or appliances but I refer to parts of my figure as My Girls.  TMI lol.

    Well, I refer to my car as a she because it looks like a "chick mobile" as my father would call it.

    Nope. Just the truck, the van, the Jeep. 
    My husband did have a truck, he called Ol Red.
