So like everyones doing it man, You should try it.

Looking for suggestions for a name for my new 1976 austin. Just cant decide. Thought about "pokey" after a comment someone made about the 998cc. Like Gumby's sidekick except there is no orange on the car so I don't know. Not even sure if the car is male or female and I wouldn't want to give it a complex or anything. All suggestions concidered, Please help. I will have to figure out a "prize" for the winner.

 

of course the name

POWERS

never entered the picture..

 

Ok, don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but I entered "car names" into google and came up with this hit:

At least you'll know what to avoid

 

wondermini thats just wrong!!!!!!!!

 

I agree...wrong, but funny.

How about Betty. She looks like a 'she' and she looks like a Betty to me. I think she needs an old lady name.

I'm so jealous. I'd like an old lady Mini myself.

 

On that note, How about "groovy"?

 

I have several names I call mine. But none I can share in a public forum. Then, there are the good days....

If its not a funky name, then it ought to be properly British

 

How about Mogwai.

It's from the 80's movie Gremlins. The star character Gizmo's breed was a Mogwai.

Actually I've given you three names to chose from... Mogwai, Gremlin, and Gizmo.

 

How about Lucas, since you'll be cursing the name for the intire ownership of a classic mini anyways

 

hahaha- thats what I tell folk. When I am working on my Minis I give them all manner of names that can't be repeated.
As for Pokey-- in England we use it as slang which means it goes fast. Therefore if you have a 'pokey motor' you have a fast car. Or 'give it some poke' means, give it some gas. The names I gave to mine were The Chepstow Mini or Marys Mini, or Daves Mums Mini, etc to differentiate them. When I bought a Mini for myself and my girlfriend Vickie- she chose Toadstool for her yellow one and Orange Juice for my orange one.
I did inherit one name when I bought a Mini off my mates wife- and that was 'Alfie' which I did quite like.

 

how about Bob

 

Rasputin !

The MINI that cannot be killed. It'll give your car a feeling of invincibility.

Well... maybe not a good idea.

 

I need to see a picture before I can just throw out a name.

 

Pic was showing up last night in the first post...I see it has disappeared...

 

I think this is the snow white one with 1275 on the side he got from Canada ?
If this is the one I am thinking of- then maybe Sleepy or Sneezy or Happy but not Dopey........

 

Fixed the pic problem, there are a few more in my gallery. Keep the names coming

 

Thatcher.

British.
Somewhat obviously a female.
White.

 

Miniopolus
The Minister
Maximus
Waslo
Williper

 

Mini Me!

 

The Hobbit.

 

How about Asriel. (Oz Re al)

Wasn't that Gargemels' cats name?

Anyone.....Anyone.....Bueler.............!

 

Clive (in memory of Clive Trickey, some name huh?)

"Mr Steed" or "the Saint" If you have to ask, your to young. lol
