I am trying to decide between
Gaga (just cute)
Titanio (I love titanium stuff, especially bikes)
or Muecke (German for Moskito)
for my car's name and possibly vanity plate? Thoughts?
Thanks

Pure Silver MCS

 

Hmmmmm, I'm not too good at this ('03 Cooper still w/o a name) but here's my assessment:

Gaga: cute name, but your MINI is an MCS and may look a little more serious (especially in PS) than a cute name would imply.

Titanio: sounds like a superhero. Perhaps too mechanical/cold/overbearing for me. Perhaps lacking in charm/personality.

Muecke: my fave so far. Even Moskito (love the mis-spelling, too) is good. Imples quickness, attitude, and, of course, the sting!!! For an MCS it seems most fitting. If you like titanium, Mosquito is also the name of a missile. Plus the SC whine could be interpreted as mosquito-esque. This name gets my vote, but it's your call of course.:smile:

 

I'll echo jds, Moskito is pretty damn nice.

 

Are we the only ones to call our Cooper ALICE?

 

nothing personal but I'd suggest thinking about it a little more.

 

I'll second Ripley. Gaga???

 

This is my favorite of the bunch, but I'm not sure how its pronounced. Is it easy to say (an easy name to call your car)?
To me, the Austrailian word for mosquito, "mossy," would be easier. But then I don't speak German.

 

GAGA is the name of a clothing brand I started recently. Plus I kind of went gaga when I first saw the car.
My MCoupe's tag is ATEMLOS which is German for "breathless", which is how I felt when I test drove that car.

I went "heilige scheitse" when I first drove mine but it wouldn't fit on my lisence plate.

 

Well, if you thought "Heilige Scheisse", there is always HOLYSHT

 

my 2 cents:

Gaga- hate it
Titanio- only if you are going to have a significant amount of titanium installed on your MINI to back it up
Muecke- not many people know what this is. kinda looks like mucus.

...but I do like Moskito especially spelled that way.
