Rooney, Angelina and Prince William are among the bizarre names Brits give their cars, a study has revealed.
The wacky monikers emerged in a study of 3,000 drivers by NCP car parks which found millions have named their motors after public figures.
Sheila, Beast, and Gaga also proved popular as did Babes, Archie and Herbie - after the famous Volkswagen Beetle.
The 'NCP Car Names Report' quizzed 17-45 year olds on their car-naming habits and found six in ten have named their car at some point.
Almost half (43 per cent) said they believed it was 'perfectly normal' for people to name their cars and 12 per cent said it was 'cute'.
Top Gear favourite and Fifth Gear presenter Tiff Needell said: ''I completely understand the need to name a car, and many famous petrol-heads have been known to do it too.
''Top Gear's Richard Hammond has Oliver, his yellow Opel Kadett, while Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel has 'Kate's Dirty Sister', 'Luscious Liz' and 'Kinky Kylie'.
''I named my son's Ford KA 'The Kpod' but it's since become 'Karen'. It's just something you have to do.
''This is a fun study and confirms what I've always known - that we love our cars at least as much as we love our pets and our partners. Good thing too or I might just be out of a job."
While Betty, Bertie and Bob emerged as the most common names motorists give their cars, many of the names chosen appear heavily influenced by the biggest female celebrities of the past five years including Cheryl Cole, Holly Willoughby and Kate Middleton.
In addition, the likes of David Beckham, Alan Carr and Arnold Schwarzenegger also made an appearance in the list.
Almost a quarter (24 per cent) of drivers said they liked to name their cars after celebs, film stars or pop stars, while 11 per cent name them after cartoon characters, 4 per cent after footballers and even 3 per cent after politicians.
Perhaps most bizarre though is that three per cent of us name our cars after work colleagues.
There were plenty of weird and wonderful names too, including The Chariot, Bullet, Babe Mobile and Destroyer of Cars.
It also emerged drivers of BMWs, Land Rovers and VWs are most likely to name their car.
And purple, green and yellow cars are more likely to be named than any other colour car on the road.
It also emerged Brits are most likely to give their car a female name and while the average adult has also owned four cars during the life, they have named half of these.
Three quarters were in agreement they are most likely to name their first car.NCP carried out the research to better understand the relationship customers have with their cars.
Jo Cooper, CEO of NCP said: ''It's important to us to understand our customers as best as we can, especially when it comes to the relationship they have with their cars as it helps us plan our car parks.''
