Name ideas from everyone ! Post here!

hey everyone- my mini gets here friday. Just wanted input on some names for it! If 2 heads are better than 1, how about a whole network full

So... 2007 Red/White/stripes MCS, here are some themes
The fact that its a turbo
Sense of adventure
It's British (or 'English')
and its Red.

A few of my ideas were
The Mach V
Winston, but someone on here already used that one
Charles
Voyager II
....

post some thoughts ! Thanks guys

Thunderchild.
Recently stumbled across a recording of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Thunderchild was a British battleship in his version of the story.

Well, I liked the name, anyway.

Sure did, but there are millions of MINIs out there, no reason some of them can't have the same name!

Etiquette question: what do you do if someone here has already used a name that you had already picked. :/

Let's see, British, red, and a sense of adventure...

Arthur Dent
You should always have a towel in the car.

The Jolly Green Giant

What better name for a red MINI?

hahaha you guys are top notch! Nobody here at college has as good as ideas as you all. It must be because we are MINI people
I love: Oxford, Thunderchild, Winston, and Dr...something... hahaha and Arthur Dent on Wikipedia made me die laughing :P
sorta like the Mach V too... but it doesn't have personal name-like character...

hmmmm.... anyways, you guys are great! Keep em coming for another day! almost here!

How about Emeril? I thought Tabasco too, but see someone already suggested that.

I was going to call my Astro Black 'Nappy', but decided it's a little too racially insensitive. I think I'm going with 'Minnie'
