I'm leaning toward "MLC"

I'll tell people that it stands for

"My Little Coop"

But I know it really stands for

"Mid Life Crisis"

Mine is named Weebiscuit. I tend to name things after racehorses, lol. Had to change Seabiscuit's name to Weebiscuit since the MINI is small.

I got the idea off my brother to call mine the "Heifer".

At this point, Sgt. Pepper (yeah, it's not Chili red or pepper white) is the working name. This may become Sarge or something completely different when I finally take delivery and start modding. The name just came to me in the configurator...

Mine's name is "Sweet Cheeks" because the (curved) stripes on the back kinda look like butt cheeks.

My friend named is 06' MCS Argyle!

Mine is named Itercide, a hackjob of latin words that very very roughly translated means Road Killer

Mine is still sitting at the dock in Southampton, but I'm considering "Madoka" from a very obscure film reference.

My '02 Cooper S was nicknamed "Chili Bean", and it was Chili Red/White. Now that I have a 2007 Cooper S Pepper White/Black and I am from the hills of Virginia, my new MINI is nicknamed "White Lightnin' ". You know that there is no better white lightnin', although I prefer damson flavored, than what is made in these hills of Virginia. Great roads for MINI driving also

Yes, it does. But it won't tell me what it is. Just keeps saying, you can call me "Master."

His name is Stewie. Like from Family Guy.
The mirrors are shaped like his head, he's tiny but noone messes with him and he has that "cute" little accent.

Qwap. I wonder if it's too late to order "Brian" plates.

I'm considering "Delta," but I just can't decide if it quite fits.

My 04 MCS's name is Perkins. Why? Because that's what he told me it is…

I named mine the same in November while he was still being built. I'm a little older than the usual MINI owner and I remember when Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band went on sale (the first time!) So, being British and "such a lovely audience" for all my ramblings, the name stuck! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!
