This is quite a long thread, so forgive us any redundancy . I think that my little beast shall henceforth be known as Coopernicus.

I know what you mean. I'm surprised too. Everyone in the family refers to our new MINI as Hobbes now, just after a week. It just fit so well. Maybe they name themselves. Food for thought. Hmm....

My Countryman goes by the name Elf. She was born on 11/11/11, and the German word for eleven is "Elf". Besides, she arrived just before Christmas. She even has a pair of elf ears and a striped hat (not my idea). However, when she gets wild, she uses her roller derby name -- Crystal Beth.

Mine is Maggie Mae after the Rod Stewart song. I also have a black Ford F250 Supercrew that we call Black Betty.

Yeah. I enjoy reading about people's enthusiastic creativity, but my ex-wife

used to name cars and it brings me back to a strange place so, no name. The Mini is just a Mini. Besides, my car hates being anthropomorphized.

Like putting cute car eyes into your signature's windshield?

Sorry, you left it wide open!

As this thread seems like a naming registry, my CM4's name is Norman. No real reason for the name, he just looked like a Norman.

Since I am the Zen Zombie I chose Mini Z while I was building. Cars do seem to have a personality of their own so this may change to something more fitting.
