hi all! My baby hasn't gotten off her cruise yet but I'm thinking of calling her Princess Whatchamacallit!!
She is a metalic Royal grey Countryman with black stripes, black roof top and black wheels and brown inside interier. So excited, I can't wait to meet her!
Well my son doesn't like Whatchamacallit, what do all of you think?

Don't love Whatchamacallit, reminds me of the '96 Olympic mascot Whatizit (Izzy).

Don't despair, when the right name comes to you, it will be like it was always the name.

Based on your build info, I think he/she deserves a more noble name. Grey and black with brown interior is very regal sounding. Sounds like one of those very expensive custom suits from Savile Row. Maybe Ascot, or Earl Grey. Or something sleuthy and cool, like Holmes or Livingston.

Misty

Vague, tough, doesn't complain, but, lets you know you've been bad. She flys a black jack in her hair and wears matching earrings. Take her to the construction site and she steps on nails and screws almost every time and always needs a shower after.

Of course my Mini's have names!

The British Green (R50) Mini is Beatrix. She is first Gen and is stable, reliable, and classic even to this day. We call her Bea for short.
My new '11 Mini with the Retro Ice Blue is Rhonda - fitting for the era. More sporty and fun.

Mine is called Mimi. ..as in La Boheme (except she died in the end.) One of my choices for the vanity plate was MIMiMI--as in a singer warming up. Not sure what the state will assign to me.

That would be D'Artagnan. (Pronounced "dar-tan-yun".)

Mine is, as my sig says, Fenimore. My wife suggested it, and I love the name.

funny story about this one.

SO i got my mini from carmax. Any they put those annoying dealership stickers on the boot. I was taking them off when i got to carma. I stopped and looked at it. CARMA!! it hit me, that could be my car's name. It is a play on words car and karma makes carma. So needless to say carma still remains on the back of my boot.

Looking for a name.

Pepper white with black top, black and red viper stripes and a ski/bike rack. Inside is black, red and metallic checks. The car is definitely a classic male who loves to race and play and is just a little mischievous.

Suggestions?
