Aquasar: Auric is a great name for your SG MINI
My Astro Black MCS is known to me as Darkness due to it's dark complexion...anyone who's seen Chappelle's Show and Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories about Rick James will know what I'm talking about

Okage is literally "your shadow", but means "in your presence", as commonly used.
I'd look at other languages, as well. German is a possibility. Russian can be interesting. The basic term for a shadow, "ten'", doesn't do much for me, but there's some interesting terms for gloom and such, might be more evocative.
Of course, there's always "Knight Rider" :-) I can't believe I just typed that..

The voice lead-in at the start of the radio show went something like this...(deep, dramatic male voice).... "Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of men? The Shadow knows!"
My favorite MINI name so far is from a new member in MMMC, whose MINI is named Miles McNutt. I absolutely love it!

Hi all! I got my MINI about 3 1/2 weeks ago. It's a 2006 MC HB/W. I had it narrowed down to 4 names, Nigel, a nice English name, Pippi, after Pippi Longstocking, Merlin, cause he's English, and a magician, and KiKi, after a character, a girl thats a witch, in an anime film called "KiKi's Delivery Service." (I may have to look into why I want to name my car after a wizard, a witch, or a girl with superhuman powers!) I've sort of settled on KiKi for now, but may end up changing it to Merlin. The important thing though is that I actually have a MINI now, and it's everything I thought it would be, and more. Happy Trails!!

Oscura (female) or Oscuro (male)- spanish for 'dark'.
