minibar and the other is mniskrt

 

Clorox was a name we had for a race car when I was 14. My Wife, the best detailer I know, cleans like a tornado. We got the convertible which lets the wind in too. Clorox, the White Tornado, was a slogan used when I was growing up.

 

I'm still trying to name my mini. She's definitely a girl, but a tomboy girl with a hard, almost punkish edge. I keep coming back to the name Avril (only *mostly* for the month I bought her in and my MA's cute little French name, and my own French heritage), but I'm not sure it feels quite right. Any song from the "Hackers" soundtrack really makes her want to get up and go, so I would have named her Kate Libby already (really fits her personality), if I didn't know a woman named Kate.

Thoughts?

 

Blackjack is at the VDC. Hopefully I will get to bring him home Saturday.

 

After one month, I was on the fence, trying to decide his sex (no comments, pls )
It was either going to be Carmen or Carmine - decided he's CARMINE !!
Let the Modding begin!!

 

i call mine Smacky

 

We have a cat named Jack. He is adventurous, restless, fast, agile, and cute as heck. Pepper White + Jack = Pepper Jack.

 

Alfie

 

i think im going to name mine Alice. as for Alice Cooper of course. i love classic rock, all of it. and it was only natural, Alice Cooper. probably not the first to name mine this but oh well, shows the other have good taste in music too either that or it could be stella, for the italian job? again im geussing im not the first for either of them. but i will make a decision once i have the car. dont wa nt to decide before i have it. could be bad mojo and i dont want any of that.

 

I like that... good choice...

 

Thanks- i like the tattoo FiascoFarm. the Pi symbol has some relivance with me too, P-I are my initals and 314 is my number/ i see all the time. so also assocciate my self with Pi. i used to sign my papers in school with the Pi symbol, only the math teacher understood

 

He's at the distribution center, so soon, right? I've named him Bruzer because he's a big guy (Clubman Cooper S) and he's lightning blue with black trim (black-n-blue).

 

Still no name here...I just call it "MINI".

 

Bruto - anagram for Turbo, goes well with the squat stance, awesome pickup and handling.

Hubby's is Winnie - analagous to whine since she is supercharged and also for Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years.

 

Almost a month, try to name my Mini a Japanese girl name but suddenly I want to name it "WOLFGANG", I think a male name suit him better....

 

My Chili Red I picked up Monday is named Speed Bump.

 

Initially, I said a car does not need a name.
Then, in a flash, his name came to me: Everett.
As in C. Everett Coop-er.

No beard, but he's keeping me healthy and smiling!

 

I was reading another thread about the "unbearable lightness of being Mini." The original contributor was very well spoken - about the insanity that seduces "normal" people into the wide wide wide wide world of Mini...And NAMING our Minis is just more facet of that world. Completely understandable, of course, but not quite understood from "un-believers." https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=138570

What could be worse is that WE don't always get to pick the name of the cars...The CAR picks the name. I've had two BRG MCS - an '04 and a '07. The '04 ended up with a name I certainly didn't pick: I hit a deer while in Europe, and my soldiers constantly referred to the car as "DeerSlayer." So it stuck. Another military individual from that location bought it from me (under duress from the husband for having identical cars!!) and the name went with it...

After the two of us being an "item" for almost a full year, the '07 just told me what it's name is (although not gender...but I suspect it's male ): "Mints." Plural, not singular. I have NO idea why, but it's not my place to question it, is it now?!

 

When I got my MINI in 2002, I knew that it was all BOY! I needed a name that suited his ability to jump out the gym and since he is Liquid Yellow and I was a huge fan of the Showtime Era Lakers, it seemed natural to name him COOOOOP - after the ringing endorsements that would rain down on Michael Cooper after one of his trademark defensive plays.

His vanity plate proudly bears his name COOOOOP

It was a rainy day when I took this piccie...

 

I know it's typical for a guy to name his car after a woman but I decided to name my MINI "Doyle".

I'm a big fan of Poker and one of my favorite players is Doyle Brunson. He's a classic just like the MINI so it seemed appropriate. I hope my "Doyle" is as much a winner as the player he's named for!

Here is a picture of me and Doyle Brunson when I met him at the 2006 World Series of Poker. And a pic of my Doyle!

 

Somewhere on a similar thread I said that I mine has two names because I cannot choose between the two. Tamzin because it's a very popular girl's name in Britain that I just really like. And Tazmin because it's almost like Tamzin, but with "min" in the name. However, I only settled on those because they have six letters and CT only allows six letters on its vanity plates.

But if I could have seven letters, then her name would absolutely be Mrs. Miniver.

 

Miniver! Good name. Good movie, too.

 

'Piper' meaning flute/pipe player because her engine makes such beautiful music.

 

My spoiled girl called "Megumi"

 

I've named my pretty Chili red girl Penelope...
