I would suggest waiting for a bit and getting to know the personality of
the car before bestowing a name as circumstances may mandate the
appropriate name. 
My '79 Midget (dark green w/Autumn Leaf) was christened after my first
couple of months of ownership, during a time when I was making an effort
to control my more colorful verbiage.  I was attempting to crack a
bleeder screw, when the wrench slipped and I busted my knuckles.  My then
six-year-old daughter was playing nearby.  As my knuckles came into rapid
contact with the car, I naturally let loose with a rather loud:  "OWWWW! 
GOOD GOLLY!"

Evidently my daughter was a secret Little Richard admirer, for she
shouted back, "MISS MOLLY!"

And thus, a LBC was named.
