What is Your Car's Name?

I have finally figured out a name for my mini once it gets here. It's name will be Jude because I love The Beatles and I think that is one of the coolest names. What did everyone else name their car?

I have say ~ you have GREAT taste in music!! Love the name you chose.

I picked up my PW Mini early Sept. and I still haven't decided on a name, but it will definitely be something Beatles-oriented...Lucy, Prudence, Jude, or maybe Sgt. Pepper!! I kinda like that one.

I'm leaning towards, "Vulcar, the Mini of Death", because...
it's absurd!

My son and I decided that "MiniMiles" was good name due to the high mileage I put on every car I drive.

Mine has not arrived yet, but it was born on Saturday. I have decided on Odie for the name.

I have an '08 MCc in Mello Yellow that is the same color as the Yellow Tang in my saltwater aquarium so my daughter decided that the name Fish would be good.

On another note, I'm a professional poker player so the thought that the "fish" paid for Fish makes it doubly appropriate.

Minerva Louise, because it is a fun name with a fun background- Minerva Louise is a character in a series of children's books. She is a happy, adventurous hen. My daughter loved Minerva Louise books when she was little. (Anybody have a little someone to buy for this Christmas, about 2-4 years of age? These are good books, with good bright illustrations of a very expressive chicken.)

Scoop! All PW - she looks like a scoop of vanilla. Cooper S - letters rearranged, and FINALLY, the chrome bonnet scoop

It's in the sig. Why that?

1. Because I love the movie, it seems like a dangerous car, but not one that is evil (the kind of car you would not leave alone with your girlfriend).

2. It did not really feel like it had a name, at least not one that it wanted me to know.

3. It's got a name, but it doesn't.

4. Naming an English built, German designed car after an American cowboy character in an Italian movie was to convoluted to pass up.

Alas, no one has come forth to be the Bad or the Ugly to make the set complete.

Winston's his name. He chose it after about a week of motoring.

See sig. Named after my grandmother, who after she retired bought a Fiat Spider & drove by herself from Rhode Island to see the Indy 500. Figured she'd appreciate a MINI.
