Help me pick my car's name

Hey guys, Im Dan and I'm having trouble thinking of a great name for my car. It's an '07 astro black cooper with tinted windows and dark silver bonnets. My friends call me Moose so I'm either going to try to tie that in somehow or the fact that its all blacked out, but im stumped. Any assistance would be appreciated.

First, is your MINI a male or female?

If is is a male, how about Abercrombie or if it is a female how about Shiras (species of moose)

Let the car name itself....that's what I am doing. I've been driving mine for a month and a half and still don't have a name. I'm letting it develop it's own character...the name will come in time.

I say just wait and let the car name itself. It will come to you at just the right time.

As for me, it's been over 4 years and no name has come to me yet, but it will. . . .

it's funny u should say mini moose... there is a character on Invader Zim (a cartoon that use to be on nickelodean (sp?) done by jhonen vasquez: the dude that did Johnny the Homocidal Maniac comics) call Mini Moose


Mini Moose is a squeeky toy that Invader Zims robot dog plays with all the time... in the Christmas episode he can move by hiself and squeek when he wants... is actually the MC for their Christmas thing... neways.. here he is... sorry for the madness...

We just traded a 2001 Lime Green New Beetle named "Jealousy" for our 2007 Oxygen Blue Cooper but haven't named it yet. I was originally thinking Roger as it is definately a boy car and I wanted an English name. But now I'm thinking about Fidel since we bought it in Miami...The others are right, drive it around a while and the right name will come to you...

Naming our '06 Hyper Blue CS was a no brainer. A week of driving and it was apparent "Squirt" because of the size and the way it squirts through traffic.

I'm surprised no one has said the name that you are going to call your MINI cause it's the best and most obvious---

BULLWINKLE

He is a moose after all....
