how about

Genevieve - White wave
Corbin - raven/black hair
Felix - happy
Skeet - Speedy
Adonis - handsome

Skunk - for the coloring, though this sould be better for B/W.
Orca - coloring
Yankee - color scheme resembles NY Yankee uniform
Sox - ditto for white sox

or you could always go with how they name show horses, some long elaborate name like:

Some things are black and white
I like things black and white

Great....its hard enough picking a color, now I'm thinking up names too. Someone mentioned Battlestar, the name Starbuck popped in mind. I'll probably lean towards a color-related name. I was thinking about a red and black mini and having it be a lady-bug look (I saw a vw bug like that, with a ladybug license plate frame) but according to the pictures online it would still have a white trim around the grill? Bah.

BoCRon,

Given that you have a black roof, PW body, and black bottom trim, I'm thinking: Oreo Double Stuf. Oreo for short.

I'm a MINI fan & a Beatles fan. Almost bought a Pepper White/Black, it would've been called Sargent Pepper. Ordered a Hyper Blue/White & that name won't work. Still trying to think of one.

Good luck with your new car Annette.

Chuck

Since your car is PW, this might be appropriate. When I was a kid, my Mom had a white British Ford Cortina, which she named 'Erman (get it - "ermine" color white - cockney "Herman").

Heh just kidding, I'm not one to name a car but I can always help a fellow MINI owner.

When I see a PW/B combo I always think of a dice, I'm really not sure why but it just makes sense to me. That's the only name I can come up with.. sorry..

Another

name that was a possiblity is Domino.Then I thought it could then be DoMINIo
I thought of Sgt Pepper, but there is a guy in the Atlanta MINI club that already claimed that one
I also thought of Frosty and also liked Salty, which then evolved into Mister Salty (my fave pretzel, you just gotta love a pretzel that has the guts to just be honest line that!)
I like to find names that have an odd segway to them, for example a dog I bought from France a few years ago had to be named by the breeder before she shipped him over. Beaucerons (the breed I have) are named alphabetically by year, and that year was "N" so all Beaucerons born in 1997 were named starting with "N". The breeder named him Newton, which I liked but didn't want to call him that, so I called him Fig.
Since I don't have a pic of my MINI yet, I'll post a pic of Java, my steadfast Beauceron companion.

Hey, Crashton

When I was debating color, HB was one of my final 3 choices. Being a Beatles fan myself, the Blue Meanie/BLUMINI was a thought, but I also liked Jeremy which is the little blue "nowhere" man in the Yellow Submarine movie.
If I did BRG he would be JiMINI as in cricket. I wanted the tag to be EZBNGRN (easy being green). I can name "colored" cars all day, just am stumped on white

I was thinking of maybe Sexy Sadie, but have decided to go with "Arrow" instead, after the blue dog in Nilsson's album/cartoon "The Point". "Wherever we go, everyone knows, it's me and my arrow."

As short lived as that affair was, if you ever come back to it from the dark side of the CR/B, you're more than welcome to it. My PW/PW S already has a name.

Then maybe you have to do what I did - and add color. I'm putting Orange stripes on my PW/PW. He was named prior to his orange, but the Orange was part of the inspiration for his name: Melon Ziptastic - but I just call him Mel.

...or go with the antithesis/contrarian theme. Call it something like Joseph (coat of many colors), Darth, or Smokey.

I'm desperate for a name, but have come up with nothing!

Actually I think the name "nothing" is kind of boring so we need to do better than that...nuk nuk

If it was yellow and black I like Thunder Chicken!
PW/B..hmmm How about White Tiger!

I'll pass on the Cruiser Mini Clo..but you are soooo close to the name.....

Blues Cruze or maybe....... are you ready....

Abercrombie. ................cause it kinda goes with something else that I can't seem to remember. Everyone knows it should be Fitch and Abercrombie or maybe just Fitch and the A dude.
