I call mine "The little *****" cause it's always trying to get me into trouble.

Gwendolyn Cooper from the wonder years, who of course went by winnie, which just makes perfect sense.. winnie cooper

My new Mini is Pepper White so I went with
Sgt. Pepper to tie in with the English connection
and because it was one of my
favorite Beatles' albums. Even have
a "SGT PEPPER" European plate for
the front but haven't mounted it yet.

If anyone with an "S" is looking for a name,
may I suggest
MiniScool
as in "miniscule" or "mini is cool".

One year and still no name for my MCS. But then, I'm not trying to name it... I don't know why it doesn't feel right to me... I'm a fairly creative guy... I LOVE this car... and MINI Cooper S is too much to say... Mmmmmmmmm?

Why do some owners name their cars... and others, me, don't? (can't? won't?) I really don't know.

God speed.

And Russia...I love Miniscule...I think that one is great :smile:

Mine's Lola the MINI (or Lola MINI)...when attempting to come up with names the week before I picked him up, I heard the Kink's "Lola" like 10 times (at that point, I think I had heard it once in about 5 years!)...Since I had already figured out that my MINI was a male, and everyone kept telling me that cars were always female (what's up with that??) when I picked him up, the name stuck in my head and there it is! Lola the MINI..."Girls will be boys and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world. (except for Lola)"

It's perfect! He loves to look at himself in nice shiny SUVs when sitting at a traffic stop! Kinda thinks like a girl, but acts like a boy!

Mine is still being called 'the MINI' since I have yet to come up with a name that hasnt been taken already. My truck has the name Big Red, because it's, well, big... and red. I have called my DS MCS "Earl Grey" a few times, but people are like " :???: I dont get it".

I'll throw it out to the crowd here: Any suggestions?

>>What are you going to name (or have you already named) your MINI? :


Well, since my Mini will be sharing a double garage with a maroon w/black top 1969 Chrys. 300 Conv. which I ordered from the factory in 1968, and which has been called "Big Red" since new -- it seems natural that my CR/Blk MCS ought to be called "Li'l Red" -- or perhaps "Rojito" which means the same thing in Spanish.

Don't know what it is with these cars, but I came up with a name when I ordered it - TONKA. Guess that goes along with my tag - A TOY KR. Thing is, they do look like toy cars, don't they?

Mine is named Monty, as in The Full..., but we frequently refer to him as "The MINI."

I wasn't too sure about this whole "naming" business, but then again I've never had a car quite like a MINI. Anyway, named my CR/W "Churchill."

Was at the dealership today and saw someone's BRG Cooper had a custom decal "Small Change". That's a good name.

God speed.

My CR/W MCS will be named Sona. I've been told by a Haitian co-worker that it means "sunlight" in her language (but for all I know it could mean asswipe; yet here I am taking her word for it!).

Anyway I think it's fitting and beautiful name for a beautiful car!

Chewbacca. I thought he was a she until I saw him, and he had this great heart just like Chewbacca from Star Wars. And after my Jack Russell Terrier, Patra, motored for a bit in 'bacca, he became all furry like the big Chewbacca, too.
