MINI needs a name

I am putting together the final specs of my MCS and planning to order within the next week. I have pretty much finalized my configuration, but haven't yet been able to come with a fitting name for my astro black MINI with white roof. Any suggestions?


Cooper S 2007
Astro Black body color
white roof/mirrors
white bonnet stripes
driving lamps
xenon headlights
premium package
tuscan beige seats
english oak dash
Sirius radio

Mr. Bubbles affectionately called Mr. B (I shamelessly steal this from Bioshock which i beat two days ago) - that's what i would name my Cooper if it's a "he".

he he. You're right about the character from CATS! And I actually did like that show, although the Rum Tum Tugger is my favorite of the lot. Cute name idea!

Let's see, based on your NAM name, perhaps gr8kart would be good and maybe you can get that on a personalized license plate too

A friend of mine suggested Mr Bucket (that's booKAY!) after Hyacinth's husband in the brit tv show "Keeping Up Appearances." She says she wants to ride in the passenger seat with a long scarf trailing the wind, and when people say, "there goes Mr. Bucket" she will shout back "That's BookAAAAY!" I have to admit it's a cute name and one I am definitely considering.

If you like the movie 300, how about Spartan? or Leonidus?

Oh, that's a fun idea -- such a silly show! Hey, welcome to NAM! Your specs look great!

Once you've got your MINI in your hot little hands - a name will come - he or she has to show their true personality to you first...

That's some good advice and probably true. Once I have a better idea of what he is really like in person I may have a very different opinion on how to refer to him.
