MINI Names

Hey all,
I have an all black MCS and have been trying to think of a name, I think i've finally settled on Gunner. But my quest has lead me to an important question, Do all of your MINI's have names, and if so what are they? Just thought it'd be a good conversation/pole sorta thing, so leave a thread w/ your cars name and maybe a suggestion for mine.
Peace,
James

I can't seem to come up with a name for my car in my sig. So I know the feeling. My grandmother got a black dog just over a year ago and we said "Onyx". Onyx of course being the black stone which stands for "black jewel". Hope that helps.

My friend use to have an all black Audi A4 called "Charcoal" If you like Gunner, you might like "Luger" :smile:

Gunner is great! I am still thinking of a name for mine. I tried "Bella" on for size since she is a Open MCS and all...but it just didn't fit.

I'm leaning toward "Basil" for my "scheduled for production" Hyper Blue / White MC. Basil is in honor of John Cleese's character, Basil Fawlty, in the British comedy TV series Fawlty Towers.

I always name my cars :smile:

As a matter of fact my first car was a black MR2 that I named Angus

Oscar, my solid gold E46, is going to be the hardest car to sell of all (selling him for the on the way un-named Mini - just a better, smaller, city car for me)

I almost got a British comedy tie myself. I wanted "Mrs. Bale" a character in "As Time Goes By" but my SO already dibbed it for her Honda. Then "Dingo" came to me out of nowhere and it just seemed to fit.

If I had a nice black MCS like yours I'd call it "Blackie"


...but I dont. My gf didnt like that name, but I think it's nice.

I actually named my car after the personalized plate I got it. "Camel (GB)"

Gunner is a good name, I like that more than Onyx. GunBus I like better.

This came to me out of nowhere after several false starts, and it just seems right:

"Murray", after Murray Walker, the energetic, enthusiastic ex-commentator for Formula One.

Our Cabrio is named Ariel. We love the ocean so I chose her name from the Little Mermaid movie. And she just seems to swim right along - LOL!!!

And of course, our former 02' was Scooter...

Our 2004 MCS is Pigwidgeon, Pig for short. The name is from the Harry Potter series, where Pigwidgeon is a happy, hyper little owl. It fits him--he's a happy little car :smile: .
