Herbie

Disney's racing Volkswagen

Herbie is a nickname for Herbert, occasionally used independently as a given name.

The name gained cultural recognition from Disney's *The Love Bug* films, featuring a sentient Volkswagen Beetle named Herbie.

The name carries a friendly, somewhat old-fashioned quality: My uncle Herbie still tells the same jokes he told in 1975.
