My MINI is "Gypsy Baby".....but "Gypsy" for short....long, long, long Vegas story...I just say "it" likes to roam & be free!

 

My mother suggested Gary....

Not bad, eh?

I'm afraid I must stick with my instincts and go with "The Liberator", named after the spaceship of Blake's 7.....

After all, it is my escape vehicle!

Sir M.

 

My mini is name KITT in honor of KITT on Knight Rider. I loved that show when I was growing up... All I need now is the red eye that goes back and forth....

 

Is she a 'Spongebob' fan?

 

I call him the panther, corny i know but i like it

 

We call our Mini "Minima" to go along w/ our Nissan Maxima.

 

I've never named a car before but no other car has had the personality that my mini does. I named her Trixie because it's a British name that means to "bring joy or happiness". Thought it was a perfect fit.

 

I have an '06 British Racing Green MC that we named Winston. It just seemed right for a spirited little British car.

 

It's so funny I'm reading this thread and saying "I know that cartoon, I've read that book, I've seen that show, I've watched that anime. . My girl is named after Ron Weasly's(sp) favorite saying "Wicked"!

 

I called my MINI "The Short Bus"
Now i have a miata.. it's silver, so i named her Silvia.

 

I can't come up with anything decent. I'm thinking about trying to use a name from the Harry Potter series of books that not everybody would know, but none of them seem to fit.

As much as I want to call it Pig, it just won't work

Snuffles doesn't fit either, especially since its not jet black.

Gah I'm at a loss.

 

Crookshanks, who is a ginger tom. Close to red.

 

Me, too...since 2003!

 

My MCS 06 didn't really have a name until MITM06. It seemed like I was the only one w/o one. But Scotti has seem to have stuck. (By my signature you can probably see why....plus the sticker is on the back.) And my Scottie is my co-pilot unless she thinks she's driving. =)

 

Mine is Stella!!

 

The first thing I thought when I saw the MINI I thought it should have a little "meep, meep" sort of horn (I was disappointed to hear that it was so deep). But I started to call MINI's "meep, meep's" her first name is Imperial which is the brand name of the red hot candies and she is RED HOT! She became the Imperial Meep, Meep or IMP for short.

I know its totally silly but I was very happy especially since I had never named a car before.

 

Pepper white
Lot's o' pep
And she's little.

 

Penfold and I have been going strong for over a year. His name came to me as I was thinking of things uniquely British. Penfold is not only the name of the golf ball James Bond beat Auric Goldfinger with in Goldfinger but also the name of Dangermouse's faithful assistant in the 80's cartoon. We all need a faithful assistant and Penfold is mine.

 

I usually don't name my cars but my mini just has to have a name. After thinking for several weeks, I came up with the name Milo...it just seems to fit. However I don't have my mini yet, so it is subject to change once I see his personality.

Oh yeah, I also debated about whether it is a him or her. I was telling my coworker about the onboard computer and she was like, "Oh, he has a d.i.c. (drivers information center)" so he obviously had to be a boy.

 

Im sorry

 

It kind of surprises me how names from Hitchhiker aren't used:

Zaphod, Marvin, Trillian, Fenchurch, etc.

TS Elliot also penned a lot of great names: Skimbleshanks, Rum Tum Tugger, Bustopher Jones, Macavity, Mr. Mistofelees, Jennyanydots, etc.

 

Nice post Gromit

 

My 2006 British Racing Green Mini is named Nigel. And he is one feisty little bloke.

 

My MINI has a name steeped in British history with even a nod to F1 racing and a name that holds a special place my heart, for this...




He is Hobbes.

GyPsy 0142 .... as she is a MCS John Cooper Work GP Kit
