Just got my 08 JCW last. Took him for a test drive and immediately named him Hermes.

Since my MINI is black with a white roof and stripes, I was told it reminded someone of Pepe Le Pew. Sadly now when I look at it, all I can think of is a skunk. So with that, and a German co-worker, my MINI just got the name "das Stinktier". As much as I thought I'd hate it, I actually like it haha.

Lil' Chili. Although with recent Sheen events, I would probably name a new MINI 'Winning...Duh!'

"Little Wing" mostly because I love the song (Hendrix) and that the emblem of MINI are wings and that she is little. I knew that was going to be her name before I got her! But when my husband drivers her, she is "Pop-Pop" for her exhaust!

What's in a name? Got a name for your MINI?

I'm sorry if there is already a thread for this, I just couldn't find it. If so, we can resurrect it, if not, let me be the first!

Even though I don't have him in my driveway yet, his name is Maxx and his plates say MINIMAXX. He's a JCW, black with red roof and mirrors with red & black interior.

Buck

My plates read (JerseyBird)... made sense when they on both of my T-birds. I just haven't come up with any clever yet. Buy my Mini's name is simply "The Mini".
