I tried to keep a French theme surrounding my mini, since my wife and I love to spend time there...and drive around in a Peuguot!

So, my pepper white MCS was named "Blanche", (blaansh) French for white.

Kids work for cat names too!

 

02justacooper BRG her name is "Poco" little in italian

 

My JCW Clubman is named Vindaloo (shortened to Vindie) because she is super hot and veddy, veddy British

This won't sound particularly clever, but I think it is: Minnie.

There is a great scene in Puccini's underappreciated opera "The Girl of the Golden West", when the title character enters the barroom, (her name is Minnie), firing a pistol into the air to break up a fight (over her, naturually), and the gold miners at the bar all shout at the same time, in English, even though the opera is in Italian, "HELLO, MINNIE!!' as the orchestra thunders out her theme/leitmotiv from the pit. Its a great moment.

While "La Boheme" and "Madame Butterly" will sell more tickets, I would rank Girl of the Golden West (getting off topic) with the best of the Puccini operas and certainly among the best of the 20th Century Operas. I am SO pumped that the Met is performing this season, and will be on live broadcast.

I think that is great you named your MINI after a character in the Opera. My husband and I are big Verdi & Puccini fans too. We are looking forward to the live broadcasts from the Met. Of course, we always drive my Mrs. Peel to the shows!
Enjoy.

 

 

Sir Winston Cooper-Poshington.
A very British name for a very British vehicle.

 

The kids have named both our Mini's. The clubbie is Stanley and the classic is Lucas (which is a good nod to his in electronics...)

 

I've named my JCW "Emma Jane Cooper"

 

White and mellow yellow 08 - has been christened "Tamago".

 

When people look all confused and ask what the name is/means, just say it's a dessert sushi. Then watch their faces crumple under the weight of utter-confusion

 

Mine was accidentally named by a NAM member.

"Casper" the friendly coop ...

 

Any suggestions for a 2011 Mini Cooper S (Laser Blue with black top and mirror caps). Thanks

 

Yes. Her name is Priscilla.

 

"Mitch" if it's a boy.

"Clarice" if it's a girl.

"Eine schöne" if it's a thing. (German for nice one)

hey it was off the top of my head.
I still don't have a name for my Chili Red MCS 2008.

Cheers!

 

BLUEY maybe?

 

What's your driving style?? Blurr maybe

 

Thank you all for the GREAT suggestions. I should take delivery on my baby Saturday! It's been a long wait but definitely gonna be worth it. Well I figured since I'm a guy it's gotta be a girl name right? As far as my driving style, well I don't horse beat my cars but I do like to push them and have a little fun occasionally (after the break in period of coarse, which I don't even know what that means I need to do?). Any advice on that would be great as well! Also, I have thought of getting a custom/vanity plate. Any suggestions on that as well? Sorry for all the questions, but I have never been excited like this for a new car, but now graduating school and starting my career, I figure it's time to reward myself after all the hard work! Keep all the feedback coming, and thanks again to you all!

Mine kind of got it's name from a friend. He called it "Cooper 'Camino" and it has stuck.

 

and Wetterschneider: I love the name Tamago. We eat a lot of sushi at my house, so I got the significance right away

 

Haven't named a car in decades, but after a track weekend when (A) the seam in the stock muffler failed and (2) one of the rubber hangers also failed, allowing a slight 'droop' in the exhaust, which under extended full throttle caused the lower trim to melt (char) (!)


... I named it "Elphie", a nickname of Elphaba, aka the Wicked Witch of the West - "I'm melting! I'm melting!"
(As taken from the book "Wicked", the 'follow-up' to the "Wizard of Oz")
