Good that you finally found a good name for the versatile car,

I was about to mention below thread to you,

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-...200-alpha.html (My Brown Little Hippo: Maruti S-Cross DDiS 200 Alpha)

My suggestion: Name your car according to its USP or the main feature or characteristic that it posess, rather than the colour.
For example: If I had a 2002 Honda City VTEC, I would call it screamer
Another example I can think of is calling a Zen, a pocket-rocket, although it's too common now.

EDIT: Just realised that you have already named it

[mmxylorider]

Now that you have the official name, it's also time to choose a pet name (as is/was the fashion). Bunty? Babu?

Thanks in advance for the responses!!

1) tough puppy
2) big goose
3) silver nose

Translate the names to your vernacular if the English ones are not suitable for instance tough puppy in Hindi is almost endearing.

I would call it Grace which combines the colour, handling and it's an ace.

Well, the princess seems to like Dolphin better than 'iruka' so she ends up using the name 'Dolphin' more often! I can't complain. ��

[Silver Knight]

King Sasi would be a nice name.

GreyKnight (Mix of grey + knight + granite)

Maruti calls this colour “Granite Grey”.

Why not name it GreyKnight, a modification of Granite that includes the colour grey and the word Knight!!


That way you will be a “GreyKnight Rider” (Granite grey + knight + Knight rider).

My S-Cross is white else would have named mine GreyKnight.

Why not give it multiple personality disorder where it parks itself in a new spot everyday, which means you can then call it 50 Sheds of Grey (ok sorry)

[Zignor]

Well, even though you've already named it Iruka (nice name!) if you decide on renaming it sometime in the future, maybe you could call it Greynite. It's a wordplay on the rock we call Granite. Granite, as such, is very boring to look at but it is quite versatile in use and sturdy too.
SCross is one of the few sturdy cars from the stable of HMISL (as per Euro NCAP).

Hex1 would be a good and funny name. Its body type is similiar to X1 in blue shade.

GreyNite/GreyKnight are nice suggestions in case I choose to rename in the future!

This reminds me of a post some time ago, where the website designers had done a few changes to the grill of a S-Cross to render it as a BMW X1. It looked so convincing, I was tempted to do that mod myself too!

The only time I ever named my car, I kept it simple.
Mike - Stands for "My Ikon".

Do not name it anything especially if you intend to create a thread on the car.You will end up being a laughing stock on Facebook.

Facebook and Youtube comment section is a battlefield for keyboard warriors. Most of such warriors are either young or have recently come online.

Why bother about trolling as long as forum members are posting with maturity?

I call this “internet maturity”. Comes after some experience with internet usage or with age.

Sorry for off topic post. I hope a discussion on this topic does not ensue below.
