Name your car?

Ok, so after three weeks of owning my 2009 Clubman S Chili Red. I have named her "Chubbie". This may seem an odd name however there is (as always) a story behind this name. My younger sister (34yrs) passed away back in April and after 24yrs of medical problems caused by a brain tumor when she was 10. Anyway her passing caused me to take some chances and understand that everything in life does not need to be practical. I have wanted a Mini for 5years but had put it off because it did not make sense, size, price, etc... Anyway I was curious to see if anyone else had stories as to how they named their cars.

CHUBBIE: Comes from a joke my sister did where she would push both hands against her cheeks and say "Hi my name is Chubbie..." Very funny.
