ok folks, I am totally at a loss for my Mini name...

Here are my images of her.

I was thinking (for any that get it) she looks like a Warhammer 40,000 Ork vehicle just a wee bit, thus that was a little influence, but I have not been able to come up with any names that I am satisfied with. Please toss some my way, as they may start my thought proscess in the matter.

I have been jokingly galled "The White Gobblin" in gaming circles for those that got the Warhammer bit before that ought to help you with some possibilities.

I'm STUMPED!!!

I am only brainstorming for you so in hearing you call her "her" I will provide female or non gender type names. and in no particular order, however the first name came to mind only because the MINI is a small car and I did love the movie!

Willow

Vohnkar

Queen of Chaos

Maurader Queen

Lady of the Lake (you can see yourself in her shine)

Tomb Queen

Night Shaman

Night Goblin

Warhorse

Ironhorse

Pegasus - fly and cause terror

Black Dragon - fly and cause terror

Trinity
or
Dark Angel

Most black and shine and cool and white color contrast with it reminds me The Matrix! Trinity is a good name for it(only if you like Matrix)

Dark Angel. I like the show, even it is a bit stupid and boring, but the black dress of the actress and her beauty just can let me give up! BTW i can remember her name... Not in love deeo enough i think!

How about Stephanie or Diane?

Or maybe even something a little more unconventional, Pooh or Cuddles?

Of the one suggested I like:

Raven
Trinity
Checkers
Goblin
Phantom

And how about these:

Dark Star
Black Hole
Event Horizon (the black just sucks up the light)

After seeing the car, Checkers is the most appropriate name. Those Hobbity "Middle-World" names just don't work for a MINI.

Come on now, it's you're car, you gotta make it somethin personal and special to you, it's gotta come from your heart, not our brains! Good Luck.

Here's a crazy, somewhat revolutionary idea. Do what I do and simply refer to it as "My Car."

The first thing I thought of was BigBud's suggestion. Checkers. Then I realized it reminded me of Nixon (the checkers speech). But if you are a Nixon fan Tricky **** would be better. I also like Scoutd's Flicka (as in My Friend...) suggestion.

Names do emerge eventually and maybe something combining the beauty (tired of people saying they are cute even if they are) and power. Let's see Anna Nicole? Naw...

Looks like I need to go to a Warhammer 40K forum to brainstorm.

No offence guys, really, truly, no offence intended.


I guess I am the phreak for my silly thoughts for a name.



I do not think checkers is good though....
