Prolly the same reason why people name their cars with girls names.

 

Great pics. In the first one, in the background you can see the poster for Lust then Love, and below the case with models and hats for sale. *drool*

 

This is the original name for EVERY Z car.

The Short Story:
Fairlady - The name given to the first line of sports cars designed and built by Nissan Motors Japan after W.W.II, with the specific intent of being marketed in the USA - 1960.
The name "Fairlady" was given to the new sports car line by Mr. Katsuji Kawamata, President Of Nissan Motors Japan, after he attended the Broadway Musical "My Fair Lady" while visiting the US in 1958. He felt that the name would invoke an image of beauty for the car - because people would think of the beauty of the music and the leading lady in that Broadway Musical.

This is a common and accepted practice within the Japanese culture for selecting automotive names. It is not a usual cultural method here in the US however - so Nissan more commonly used engine size and model numbers as Model Names for the US market. (Note There are also minor differences in many cases related to engine sizes, safety and emissions equipment between the Japanese home market models (Fairlady Z's) that thoes exported to other countries)

 

Yep, nice how they have old and new Zs in the shop with Z merchandise old/new on display...

Same here

 

Mr. K decided that americans would think that the name fairlady wouldnt be masculine, and that the letter Z would make the name manly. (sorry girls, you know how old school mentality was)
