  • Hailstone
  • Iceberg

  • Blanc (French for white)
  • Blanco (Spanish for white)
  • Chalky
  • Creamy White
  • Crystal Clear
  • Etihw (reverse of white)

How To Come Up With Names For a White Car

Here are some tips to keep in mind when coming up with good white car names:

Meaningful Names

Show off your smarts by choosing a white car name with a deep meaning behind it. Find an online source that can pull up the meanings behind words or names and pick a name that has the meaning embodied by your car. Or you can name it after a famous person who’s made a big impact in history.

Have Pun–Will Travel

One of the best ways to get people to remember your white car’s name is to use wordplay. A pun can get a reaction out of the people who encounter it, making it easier for them to remember the name. Figure out the most striking characteristic of your white car, such as its color or size, and come up with a play on the word.

A Personal Touch

Car names aren’t limited to just the vehicle that wears them. They may also reflect the driver–that is to say, you. Think about one of your personal traits that you share with your white car or want to express through your ride. If you’re the chivalrous type, you’d want to ride a car named White Knight.

Typecasting

Some names are made for certain cars. Comet and Lightning are great names for sports cars that go zoom. Avalanche and Boulder go well with the macho image conveyed by a large SUV or heavy duty truck. Gramps or Granny are shoo-ins for classic cars, especially if they match the speed of a senior citizen hobbling across a marked crosswalk.

Search Your Feelings

Sometimes, the right name for your white car comes out of nowhere. You may be driving your car on the highway, doing maintenance, or maybe doing something completely unrelated to cars. At that moment, the name comes to you and you immediately know it’s the one for your white car.

Keep It Short

Who doesn’t want everyone to know the name you picked for your white car? While you can spread it via word of mouth, it’s probably easier to advertise it using your ride. You can hang vanity license plates on both ends. Or spell it out with decal letters on the hood, sides, or rear. Maybe it’s better for you to spray the name on the body panels.

If you plan to show off your white car’s name, it’s a good idea to either keep it short or abbreviate it. Your car only has so much space on its body panels and shrinking the font size will make it harder to read the name.

Have a blast naming your white car!
