Forgot about my MINI for an hour

One thing made me not think about my car for a whole hour - an ultrasound exam of my baby! They think it's a boy. If so, I was thinking of naming him Cooper, with the middle name Sport.

Did you sign up with MINI-USA? If so, you might remember the part about naming your first-born "Cooper" in the agreement. You are now legally bound to the name.

Seriously, though... congratulations!!!

Congrats!
And the Cooper connection is great too!


I bet my three kids (Nova, Focus and Sunfire) wish I had a Mini when they were born.

If I had a kids since highschool, they would have been named Integra, and Four-runner. I don't think digits are allowed.

Thanks everyone for the congrats.

Much preferred to the Serb immigrant that used to live across the street at a former residence. He had a son named Yugo.

Thanks again everyone for the congrats! My daughter is always saying "too fast" when I drive, so I'm hoping my son will be born to "shake and bake".

I'm only half-serious about the name Cooper. I actually like it as a name, but my dear wife doesn't.

I am totally trying to convince my wife of the names Cooper and Sport by threatening that the name Boi is my third choice ......I am also trying to convince her to buy the house at 2003 S. Cooper.... One day I just pulled up in the driveway of this dudes house and took a Picture of my 03 MCS at 2003 S. Cooper

Congratulations jmmilne!!!

Driving a mini is so much more fun as a family car. Now that all the seats of my mini are assigned, I think I can convince my dear wife to get the roof rack and box. Maybe I also need a new intake and exhaust in order to handle the passenger load.

Congratulations! My kids were pre-ultrasound, and it's a shame. Would have been great to see them moving around inside me.

One of my buddies at work has been a father for a little over a year. He's 21 and his GF is 18. At the time, it was 20 and 17. I gave them a little crap saying they should name it Financial Burden the First. But, he got a raise and a promotion within 3 months of each other so he makes pretty good crack money now for what he does.

Hmmm, if you can't tell for sure he's a boy, maybe you should name him "Mini" instead!!!!

Just kidding, congrats!
