I've been trying to come up with a name for my Mini. I have several names but can't settle on one. Those names are:
Elroy
Simon
Ramsey
Kabluey
Reyn
Skippy
Riley
Mitchell
Winchester
Gallagher
Percival
Dinky
and Spooner
My 20 month old Molly looks at it and says Boo! Boo Ca! Boo, Boo Booooooo!
So, unless anybody has a better choice or thinks one of my above listed names are better, think I may go with 1st name Boo, last name Ca BooCaa

 

Love it!! Wish I could think of one for mine. I was hoping on the drive home together something would come to mind!

 

Too cute? Names for MINIs come from anywhere. I got my first MINI used from a Russian babe in Austin. Quick story, she divorced her husband and had to get a nice fuel efficient vehicle so she got BRG/W '05 MC hardtop. During the 5 months she had it, she got back with him and had to sell it. During the time of the test drive and the transaction paperwork, she would always lovingly refer to it as her "Little Green Car" so that's what I name it. However, anytime I would refer to it, I would say "Little Green Car" in a Russian accent or if I wrote it out, it would write "Little Green Car"(pronounced with Russian accent). Will Boo Ca BooCaa have to me pronounced in a 20 month old's voice?

 

Totally!!!

We just got back from Russia, our tour guide was named Olga. We adored her but unfortunately I bought an artic fox stole and named it Olga. It would have been perfect for my baby!!

 

The Russian babe I got Little Green Car(prounounced with Russian accent) was "Olya" or something like that. She had a James Bond girl accent and matched her babeness.

 

Olya is the diminutive for Olga. Like Katie for Katherine, or Bob for Robert.

My parents named some of their cars, you can't force a name and some vehicles never earn a name.

None of my cars have a name yet.

How long have you had yours Dave?

 

I've had my MINI only two months. But I've had an MG TD for forty years, and it has no name. It's just the TD.

Dave

 

My first car was an MG. When we were in the UK last month we saw a new MG parked at the hotel we were at. I didn't know they still made them!

Must see pictures Dave!!! I'm so jealous!

 

My youngest named my MCS Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal - because he's small but fierce.

I saw all the replies expected to read a bunch of helpful replies not a threadjack. Cmon guys! Gimme some input here, INPUUUUUTTTTT!

 

If you need help naming your mini, you simply haven't come up with the right name.

Kevin

 

A little quick on the draw for the thread jack accusation there, cowboy.

Don't worry a name will happen, or not.

Not every car needs a name.

Dave

 

Car names are tricky things, either you feel them are you don't, not to worry they seldom come running when you call them!

 

Seriously, we can pick any name you have listed above but it won't be personal to us. My 2nd MINI(Alan-a-Dale) was named by going with the British heritage. I so much wanted MINI to stay British but it is going more German/Austrian all of the time. My 3rd is not a name but a thing(Gila Monster). It was brought on by how it looks and performed while thrashing through the mountains of the Gila National Forest. From your list, I would go with Percival due to its astronomical heritage. I could also go with Riley because it was the first Mini I have ever been in. As you can see, could go on on and on.....

 

Your MINI, 808Chaney, just decided to strike up a close rapport with your daughter and whispered it's name in Molly's ear (kids are more discerning than adults and can hear these things more readily).

Molly knows your MINIs name and she's just letting you know it!

Boo Ca BooCaa (Boo for short) it is!

Cute story and your MINI now has a very unique name!

May you, Molly and Boo share many smiles and miles together!

Enjoy & Motor On!

 

I think you're right Sabre. I posted the entire list of my choices hoping that one of those names would be better fitting. Everythime she sees my car whether it be sitting in the driveway, in a parking lot somewhere or on my computer screen, It's always the same thing. BOO, BOO, BOO CAA, DADA BOO CAA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Boo it is. Now if I could just decide on a vanity license plate. It will either be BOO CA or my original choice of WLBCNU (We'll be seein you)
Decisions, decisions...

 

Riley Booker!

 

I named my car Mindy probably 5 years before I bought it.
I almost wanted to get a Mayfair edition... but Mindy was always supposed to be blue. So blue she must be.

My friends refer to it as Mindy as if it is a person. haha.
