My JCW Clubman is named Rocket. When we brought her home our other car was a Jeep Liberty, and driving the MINI was like a rocket compared to the Jeep!
My husband's hardtop S is named Sheldon. He had a personalized plate before the MINI that says "BAZINGA". It definitely fits the MINI better, and made picking a name really easy!
Named my rebuilt , salvaged 04 Chili Red S "Steve Austin" after The Six Million Dollar Man due to the fact I had to rebuild him.....make him stronger.....faster, better than he was before! Anyway if you had seen the poor fellow in the garage being torn down and fixed, the name was spot on.
My other MINI is named "Beeber" after a Dachshund my wife and I once had. It's her car so she can name it anything she wants.
Achilles, you've changed the name quite a bit and you don't even have it yet. Why don't you drive it for a bit and see which name fits best? Good luck. I know its not easy.

Yeah i decided to go with something i thought i would have named it a long time ago.. Achilles
My MINI is "Babar." When I first got the car, I named him Clive. But after a few weeks, I started to think that name didn't fit.
When people asked about the color, I said it was "kinda elephant-gray." Plus it's a Countryman, which is a big MINI. Not quite elephant big, but big. Then I started thinking about the color, Royal Grey. So, who is the most royal of the elephants? The king of the elephants - Babar! Babar was my favorite book when I was a kid.
Now the next issue: Babar wears a green suit, so I need some green accents for the car!
My chili red MCS is named dr. Watson... For some reason I saw it and I had been watching Sherlock holms and when I drove it all I waneted to yell was Watson my good fellow! So I kept it. He kind of looks like Watson...
