I never really thought about it. One day I was driving home (6 hour trip) with a huge stuffed dog in the back seat. I decided I should give it a name, and I named it Levi, in that same moment I decided to name my car (because why not? Other people do it). And so my car become LeRoy. It's a 2004 Nissan Sentra - and I don't know enough about cars to say if that had anything to do with it.

Some of it might be that it's easier for me to think of/come up with male names, and if you have a male name it usually means you a male. But every now and again, I call him 'baby.'
