Help name my Mellow Yellow MC

My yellow on yellow MC went into production last week. So I would think it will be on a boat at the end of the month.

So I should come up with a name......

How about "Vijzelgracht 33"?

That is the address of the Mellow Yellow coffee house in Amsterdam!

Now how do you pronounce such a name.

Any other names?

To be honest with you, that sounds terrible to us people who dont know that language. Get a name that most people will recognize. But everybody has their own opinion.

To us non linguists the word "GRACHT " has no meaning. Sounds like a personal itch that you cant scratch in public.

No, I think that you should name your Mini with a more agressive name (after the Mini's Bulldog Stance character) . "RUFUS" would sound good. ---BTY I named mine "EDISON" after the man (Thomas Alva Edison) who in my opinion contributed the most beneficial invensions to the world. (my Hero)

Phosphorus-

White phosphorus is a yellow, waxy transparent solid. For this reason it is also called yellow phosphorus. It glows greenish in the dark (when exposed to oxygen), is highly flammable and pyrophoric (self-igniting) upon contact with air as well as toxic (causing severe liver damage on ingestion).
