Yup, but not a very interesting one.
I bought the car from my grandmother when she decided at 87 that she was done driving. She's not one to name cars, so it had none. Her middle name (which she doesn't use) is Vivian, and it amuses me to call the car after her ... partly because she thinks it's silly.
See? not much of a story.
Why I called my last car Maggie even though it was named Marion is a much better story, but only to those who know the people involved.

I think adopting liseuse would be unlikely. Okay, impossible - at least in the U.S. Maybe they'll all soon be called Kindles.

Someone suggested a while back that we call them "mReaders" because they're for reading and their mobile.
