MiniCarolinaGirl,

If you want to match Zip up with something...since y'all are from the South...

How about? Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah

all these replies seem a bit forced...you are working a bit too hard...the name of your MINI should come to you and roll off your tongue.

My MINI was named even before I owned her, it was love at first sight and I knew what I would call her...and that I would buy her after that first test drive.

You just know....same goes with my son's name.

Paul

It's meant as just a generalization...

I guess I got lucky, my pets, my kid, my cars all seemed to name themselves.

I was thinking of calling my MINICooperS Bugs but the hubby thought too many people would think of the VW Bug - so out the window that idea went.
A *long* time ago, I had a VW Bug named George.

Since your MINI's a girl, how 'bout Georgia? Or, Jawja?

C ya,
Dutch

PS: My MINI's a guy, and his name is Nudnik

02ElectricBlueS - Nope just having a bit of fun - thinking out loud, if you will.

joe_bfstplk - Jawja, I have a slight accent, but it's not that bad Kidding, it's a cute name.

Well, I have a list of great names a mile long. I just have to go through them and pick one that best suits my MINI - and they're so many good ones. This thread has been great. I have really enjoyed it but it has to end sometime. So, I'll post the name I choose after Thanksgiving. And as I stated early on, if I choose a name that you've suggested, I'll send you a batch of my wonderful Cowboy Cookies. If you have anymore great name ideas, please send them my way soon. Have a great week everyone!

What you want to avoid is debating so long over the list of names that he never gets named at all. That happened to our first MINI, I made sure that never happened again.
