I simply omitted the first word.
Except now the annoying synthetic Betty no longer says "Terrain-Terrain" and instead says in the most monotone voice you can imagine: "There is a medication to take".
I only started naming my cars in the last few years. When I got my SL550, my wife named it Betsy. Sounds like that is pretty popular.
When I got hit and Betsy got totaled, I named my E350 Rhonda, as in the Beach Boys song. Rhonda was supposed to help me get Betsy "out of my heart". Never worked. I still miss my SL550, Betsy.

I have named all my cars. And whether it is a female or male name they are always of female gender just like ships. Abe is a she. I don't think she cares.
I tend to name my vehicles after adult film stars.
My wife's red RAV4 is named Ruby Sue.
Ron Jeremy?
A fellow with an ankle injury once rode in my 1972 Toyota Corolla De-Luxe.
From the back seat you'd hear him repeatedly say, "Watch my ankle".
EVERONE ELSE began calling my car, "Watch my ankle". ? ? ?

Of course!
The family calls the cars by their name:
"Ellie" Edge
"Maddie" Mustang
"Sonya" Sonata
I even put their names on the UOA forms, maintenance apps, and folders for documentation.
Not doing custom plates though.

I had a high performance 1974 BMW R90S motorcycle that i named "The Reich Bike",
I name my cats after characters from The Dukes of Hazzard.
The reason to name a vehicle is to yell at it, er, ah, "encourage" it to perform, such as when it struggles driving up a snowy hill, or in the case of an airplane, won't do what you ask. In much the same way as a reluctant horse might need a little encouragement.
My 1993 C1500 is Roberta, 2004 Expedition is Expi, 2005 Element in Fiji blue is Madame Blueberry and our 2021 Vintage Cruiser 23rss camper is Lucy.
I just named my motorcycle "Standard" due to the upright riding position.
It doesn't feel very Standard. Ok, it's not Standard.

Why?
I've called most of mine words that will apparently ban me from here because people have virgin eyes.
