My Clubbie's name is Hermione. I read all seven Harry Potter books aloud to my daughter and we loved them. I thought Hermione was a great British name for a MINI and the book character is a great role model for girls. Not to mention that Emma Watson is adorable.

My BRG is Acacia.
Acacia has a long history in its healing abilities, and when I push her start button I can feel her medicinal infusion.
Furthermore, as a 'Travelin' Man', the Sprig of Acacia, has more meaningful conotations.

Ok, so after three weeks of owning my 2009 Clubman S Chili Red. I have named her "Chubbie". This may seem an odd name however there is (as always) a story behind this name. My younger sister (34yrs) passed away back in April and after 24yrs of medical problems caused by a brain tumor when she was 10. Anyway her passing caused me to take some chances and understand that everything in life does not need to be practical. I have wanted a Mini for 5years but had put it off because it did not make sense, size, price, etc... Anyway I was curious to see if anyone else had stories as to how they named their cars.
CHUBBIE: Comes from a joke my sister did where she would push both hands against her cheeks and say "Hi my name is Chubbie..." Very funny.

Anikin. I wanted Vador but I has seen a few MINI's named that. I have also seen Darth MINI.( I think the owner sold it a few months back) So I figured I would show that I'm a full blown nerd and see if anyone gets the connection.

No Caniglia, I'm a Master Mason and 32nd Degree Scotish Rite. We use the term 'Travelin Man' as one who travels throughout other Lodges in fellowship and benevolance; just to name a couple.
And Curtab, I commend, but most importantly respect your memorial to your loving sister. Keep motorin'. Just keep on motorin'.

I know somebody on NAM named their MINI Bombadil, and I must say that my car is your wife.. Finally named my BRG- her name is Goldberry. Goldberry is Tom Bombadil's wife from the LOTR series and she is said to wear a dress made out of green leaves.
I named my car the green-eyed monster. Long story short, my partner bought a Cooper S and I could not stop driving it. All I heard was, "get out of my car and drive your own." I was jealous of her little car as my daily driver is a Jetta and just not quite as much fun. So I decided, fine, I'll buy my own and that's how we ended up with two Mini's. I bought a factory JCW in BRG. Now I can have fun in my Mini Coop whenever I like!
