The past week has been pretty busy for me. In addition to the Christmas holiday, I was in a car accident and had to look into purchasing another vehicle. In the end I settled on a Subaru. So now I’m trying to think of what to name her.
Because I named my previous car (a silver Toyota) Vega, I’d like to come up with another star name for my new car. As many of you might know, Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades. So it seems logical to name my new blue Subaru after a star in the Pleiades star cluster. Right now, the front-runner is Maia, a blue giant B-type star ... but I’m open for suggestions.
What’s your favorite star in the Pleiades? And have you named your vehicle after a celestial object, or am I alone on this one?
For the record, my Toyota was a great car. And if it came with all wheel drive, I’d get another one. However, Subarus come with AWD, and it’s a feature I’ll enjoy in the Wisconsin winters.
