While sitting, waiting (impatiently of course!) for my Clubman to come from Cowley, I thought I'd give her name. I thought a British name would be appropriate but can't decide. I'd like the people here to chime in and let me know what they like best:
1. Stella
Just sounds neat. And, yes, I got that name from Charlize Theron's character in F. Gary Gray's remake of "The Italian Job." BTW, I have seen the Michael Caine version. I love both movies equally.
2. Elizabeth or Lizzie
It sounds so English and one of my favorite movie characters is Elizabeth Swann from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean."
3. Kazzie
It really is the name of a girl who lives in a small British town called Hemel Hempstead. I just like the name. She said it's a family nickname for Charis (pronounced karis).

 

I think you need to wait until delivery...kind of like it is for many who name their children after they actually see them.

My guess, not ever having named any of my MINIs, is that you'll know which name is best when the time comes.

 

Forget those cute, girly names.

How about "Chubby", the Clubby ?

 

Dude, you didn't mention the color.

Besides, you need your main ladyfriend's, opinion...at least to make her think she's having input.

Take your time. This is a big decision.
Buy a case of beer and have your buds brainstorm.

 

I agree...once I determined Pelle was a boy, the name was much easier!

 

It's funny that you're thinking of Stella my Laser Blue MCCS is named Stella Blue. It wasn't until later that I realized Stella was the name of the girl in the Italian Job, though.

The name will come to you as you wait, or maybe the first time you see your new baby!

 

english car, needs an english name. how bout ...........eleanor rigby? jus bs bout the english name, mines called double stuffed oreo. but eleanor is a good name. to each his own. best advice, include those closest to you. my girlfriend and my 2 girls helped. have fun.

 

Beasleyboy,
I want to let you know that "MINIPooper" has been taken.
Sorry.

 

Ok...... here it is. Abbey from Abbey Road. Great band, cool name, hip car.
You owe me $50

 

How did you come up with that name?

 

But did you get MPOOPR vanity plates?

 

By using my little, twisted mind.

That would have been great! Didn't think of that.

 

I had not even considered a thinking about a name until after I go the car but then when my girlfriends son heard the name of the paint color. Hot Chocolate. His first comment was "so its Swiss Miss then" And thus her name was born.

BTW I had not even decided on buying the car at that point. I was still trying to decide if I was going to get the Mini, BMW 1 Series Sedan, Audi S4 or a Volvo S60. And thinking about it i had not even drive one yet.

So best advise is. When it comes to you it will be right.

 

I finally made up my mind. When the eagerly awaited phone call comes, I'll shout at my dad, "Kazzie's here!" I wonder what the look on his face will be!

 

I like Kazzie! But seriously, the car might not like it. So be flelxible.
