Usually there's some meaning attached to it. Years ago we had a Buick Roadmaster. The kids called it big Bertha. The name stuck. Then there was was my old Peugeot 504 (Diesel) which ended up being called POO-gee. Since it was produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot we somehow ended up calling it something that to us sounded french. The CEO called her Mercedes Nelly Belle like an old horse you could depend on it to always keep running. No name for the 530i yet but you just wait it will get a name of some sort. The plates get that duty for now.
