So I never had a name for my 08 clubbie until I ran into the original owner who told me the mini was called "scooter" so I happily adopted the name!

It's just called "The Mini".

The only car my family had that we named was a 98 BMW 740iL. It's name was "Bessie."

Johnessa (pronounced like Vanessa)...

It's a John Cooper Works and I guess I love it more than I do my ex who named it

My '06 MCS is named Rupert. I'm a record producer and engineer. There's a very famous dear designer named Rupert Neve, so I named the car after him. I also cut up one of their stickers so he has a name tag.

Yep! Galina, named after my grandmother that passed in December, shortly after my last R53, Sunflower, was wrecked. I figured the new R53 would be in her memory.

My Thunder Grey 2016 Clubman S is called Victoria. Sh's named after Victoria, Princess Royal. She was the daughter of Queen Victoria and later became Queen of Prussia after marrying German Emperor Frederick III. I thought it was appropriate because she was born of British royalty, then married into German royalty.
