MINIs named after comedians

I named my MINI Eddie after my favorite British comedian, Eddie Izzard. Anyone else out there name their MINI after a comedian? Any George Car-lins or Johhny Car-sons? Laughter is the best medicine!

Red Ryder, you are in the wrong thread! I've been saving a spot for you in this one:

Oh, and Eddie Izzard is one of my all time favorites! Do you have a flag?

My MINI isn't named after a comedian, but we did name our least cat Izzard because his favorite toy when he was a kitten was a pink feather boa.

He's grown up to be a complete imp, so his name suits him.

I just love Eddie Izzard! And yes, the Bristish DID conquer the world through the cunning use of flags. How many Union Jacks are out there?
