We call our LY MCS "Bumble". I doubt it's original but hearing my three year old daughter say it cracks me up every time.

 

MINIROX because the Mini rocks and the owner who is Roxanne is only 5' tall aka minirox

 

After a long hard thought I have decided to name my CR/W S "Rufus" ......which means red-headed. Although it will have a white top...it just fits so well to me.

"Hey, me and Rufus are gonna be hanging out on the corner"

 

My CR/W 05 MC's name is Sooper.

 

My mother-in-law called my MINI a Matchbox car a few times and it grew on me. Mine's now named (and licensed as) MACHBOX (darn that Ohio 7 character plate limit).

 

had not thought about it, much...but, some of my friends call it, "twisty" as per the license plate so, I guess, from this day on, it will be, "Twisty"

 

Sunnie's a convertible of course Right now she's patiently waiting for spring.

Lois

 

MCS 05 HB/W Stripes of course! name is Jack

 

Ours is "Scoop". Daughters named it while on order from the factory in late '02.

 

Her name is "Belou"

well cuz shes blue

 

Yes I know we all LOVE our MINI's, but this thread is ideas for James's MINI!

Does anyone have any? Titan? I still like Gunner.

 

I'm Mandaboos hubby...

Bruno is the mini,
Tasha is the Evo,
and teh truck is Bessie.

 

Its cool, I wanted to hear everyone else's too. Thanks, i'd still like some suggestions if anyone's got any. Maybe Gunner he will remain. I'm glad to know everyone else loves their mini's enough to name them too.
Thanks all,
James

 

How about DarthMINI? :smile:

 

I think we have been giving him ideas,it will just jump out one day

 

Nice color combo! Mine is the same, I love the absence of your chrome bits. People call my car stealth. Your absence of bling is very understated and well...extremely stealth like. How about "Jet" As is the color, 'jet black' and also like a 'stealth jet.' I haven't actually named my car, there were lots of ideas, none that stuck.

 

How about giving him the name for something with no name - Widgett? It's very Brit, too.

My CR convertible is Mad Dasher, "Dasher" for short.

 

Our MINI's name is Jack, as in Union Jack. He is getting a UJ roof graphic from Cooperflags for my birthday!

 

My daughter named my BRG/W MC: Molly Frankenstien.

Someone on the MetroplexMINI board calls their all Black MCS: Vader.

 

I named my car Sting for several reasons.
1> Yellow and black, kinda looks like a yellow jacket or a bumble bee
2> My favorite recording artist is Sting
3> My favorite author is JRR Tolkien. Bilbo and Frodo's sword was called Sting.
There you have it, the reason for my madness

 

Charlie is my 04 (one of the last) CR\B MCS. The car was either going to be Charlie or Stella and Charlie seemed more appropriate once I saw him.

But if I have to say where the names are from....you're buying the wrong car.

 

I was at a loss as to what I would call my car. Until one day some mentioned the Bond film "Goldfinger" And from that "Auric: just seemed to fit.

I'm thinking about naming my 05 PH/B MCSa "Falcor".

 

I named my MINI Nigel, I like Nigel because it sounded Brittish and it seems to fit pretty nicely. Then I found out from a friend of mine who use to race Mini's that there was a famous Mini race car driver named Nigel, so the name has two meanings,


I like it

Happy Motoring

I always named my cars and refer to them by name.

My first Mini Morris Innocenti was named "Petula" and I had her name written on the back of the roof . This was in Italy in 1980 and it caused quite a sensation .. people did not name cars and put their name on it. But I did .. I ended up with a pict. in the major newspaper " .. she can always find her car.. " The two of us looked really cool

Washington DC USA 25 yrs later.. 1st Mini MCS' name " Streghetta" (witch in Italian.. ) Now we have two convertibles in the house
MCC " Stella" named after Stella from the Italian Job movie but we call her "Stellina" - Little Star
MCCS " STREGA" called "Streghina" (little witch).


Just yesterday I was in the office and my husband and I were talking on the phone about Stellina and how we could coordinate to pick her up from the shop... a client of mine over heard the conversation and asked me "Difficult to find child care help these days isn't ?" when I told him that Stellina is a car he looked puzzled... and even more so when I told him that Stellina is Streghina (the car in the parking lot) sister...
