Manly British Names (list compiled during a recent beer evening with the chaps) include Reginald (thing Rex Harrison, originally named Reginald Carey), Dylan (think Dylan Thomas, although I met a wonderful chap and his Corgi, named Dylan, in Wales one summer), Graham (think Graham Chapman or Graham Kerr), Kenneth (a good stout British name...as in Kenneth Branagh), Bryant (Celtic origins, meaning "hill"), Gaillard (middle English, meaning Brave, Cheerful, Spirited...and doesn't that really capture the Mini essense?). Hope that these help in your search!

Pictures

Here is a picture of my new baby. I finally got him last weekend. I still haven't figured out a name yet. Someone suggested that I post a picture to help with the naming. Here it is. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks for your help.

So nothing has really grabbed you yet eh? Has further driving helped at all? Maybe the car is quietly telling you it doesnt want to be in the shadow and just be given a recycled name from your first one Could it be be a girl this time around?

Let's see, how about Vanna its kinda sexy and could be short for Vanna White or Mini Vanna (and Vanna White probably really had a dark top too )

There are good suggestions in this thread (although I don't know if I'd name a car Rex, sounds like wrecks ), nothing catching your fancy?
