Help Name my MINI

Hello everyone

I will be getting my new mini in a few weeks and haven't yet picked a name. I have a few I like but hubby doesn't like them. Same thing happened when we tried to name our now 15 year old daughter. I was so drugged after giving birth and allowed hubby to pick the name.....signed paper in drug induced state. LOL Good thing her name is good on her.
We definetly need a third party....so heres your chance. Car stats are below and I will let ya'll know what the cars name ends up being.
Have fun and be creative!

Just call it "The MINI" for the first few days. I think MINIs have names already, you just have to wait for them to tell you what it is.

I have always thought cars with a stick shifts were boys
and automatics were girls. With that being said,
automatics with paddle shifters on the steering wheel would be transgender .
However, it seems that all MCS have b*lls so I guess they could be any of the above. LOL

Honestly, I think Ornery is female... it fits her! The long wait time for her build, 23 March to 21 June and now the long wait to drive her 22 June to 25 July. Like a woman getting ready for a date... FOREVER!

Minikimme, let your dogs tell you what sex it is... LOL. They pee on the tire it's male.

My car is a lesbian; her name is The Flying Squirrel.

Your car will speak to you in a few days and reveal a name. Be attentive and watch for clues. A good mom will know.

Yeah, it seems to me that one should wait for the car to speak to you and give you it's own name. When that is reveled you will also know if it's a boy or girl. Spitfire was revelead to me as I was getting up one day to take her out for a drive.

I'm in total agreement here!

What's the rush, Minikimme. :impatient

Take the time to get to know your little guy or girl. As you become more familiar with your MINI it will reveal it's name and gender.

You need the time to bond with your road partner and before you know it, a name will be revealed to you and you will be one with your MINI!

Enjoy & Motor On!
