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.
And it's funny that you mentioned the Bugs Bunny cartoon because that is what I twittered the day I bought my MINI; "I just bought my first MINI! - I haven't met him yet but 'I will love him and squeeze him and call him George'" - lol. 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?

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.

Okay - drum roll please....I have decided on a name for my MINI......
It's.....Paddington...... it pays homage to it's British roots being that it's a british name. It is also the name of a famous British Bear, Paddington Bear - and I collect teddy bears....so it was perfect!
Thanks so much to EVERYONE that took part in the fun. I enjoyed logging on each day to see what everyone suggested. There were so many great names! I have to say it really was a close call (I liked Stella a lot - thanks MiniCooperWill!) but in the end Paddington won out.
TimL - Thanks, I like it a lot too. I have been calling "Paddington", Paddi for short but by looking at the picture you just posted, "PB" is great - never thought to abbreviate the name using the initials. And, it sounds good when you say it too! I like it much better and it's quicker to say as well as type. Just when I thought I was done - . Thanks!

If you go with PB, you'll need to get another MINI and name it "Jay"....
