This is Krystal, our 2010 Kia Grand Carnival. Did a day trip to Sydney with BIL yesterday to pick her up. She is awesome, so much room & grunt. So glad we upgraded. Edited to change name as I don't know how to spell. This post has been edited by ~Fuzjuz~: 30/03/2012, 09:33 PM

Me too! I read the title thinking, please don't have spelled your kids name like that!! But a car (or any other non-person thing) - anything goes!! After all, champion racehorse and sire Lonhro has a mis-spelled name. (he's named after the stock exchange code for the London Rhodesia mining company, but the rules say you can't name a horse after a business, so he's deliberately mis-spelled... Lonhro, not Lonrho). It's one of my favourite (non-rude) naming stories. I have lots of favourite rude naming stories Have fun driving

How is that unique? That's how Chrystal has always been spelled to me. And I will have fun driving.

Does anyone else remember Crysta from Fern Gully? That looks wrong to me. Google game a few options though. Car is Chrystal blue so hence Chrystal.
