Naming my MCS

I am not looking to steal any names, but I was just hoping to get some ideas of the types of names you have for your MINI's and any suggestions for my 2008 PW/MCS

It will come to you one day and the name will just stick.

My R53 was "Thumper" after the rabbit, haha. Mine was Dark Silver/White and I always thought they had a striking similarity .






See the similarity....kinda/sorta/maybe??

Not delievered yet, either. RJK's Molly and my Lucy are shipmates!

I had the name picked out before I ordered the car. I did have a few days of thinking I would change it to "Stella".

I think it will just come to you. Congrats!

Can you publish a pic. When our son was born, we changed his name the moment we saw him because we knew that the name we had picked out just wasn't him. I'd have to see a picture before I could make an honest suggestion.

Nice MINI! I'm thinking Pepper? Too un-original?

I thought that this MINI looked so clean and proper.. very professional and business-like and of course it's a Pepper.... so, I thought the "Doctor" was a good name.

Jolokia:
This is the Pepper to end all other peppers. No other pepper on the planet earth comes close to the heat that this produces. In February 2007, Guinness World Records certified the Jolokia as the world's hottest chili pepper.

I was thinking the SAME thing!

My MCS is named Zoe. Dark silver/ black with driving lamps =) Pics in gallery.

You'll find the right name Jhayd11. Piper is cool though =)
A friendly note -- dont use "Stella." While stella totally fits just about any mini, it's becoming overpopulating! =) I was also considering Emma before deciding on Zoe. I've only seen one other Emma though, and no Zoes!

I studied Latin and break down names by there properties, and Doctor is a "masculine" I am not putting a gender spin on occupations, just verbal tenancies.

Donna/Mike, its funny you post "Gizmo" That was the first name I thought of when I saw my MINI, but am not used to calling cars/boats masculine names...

Scoop is named for "Scoop of vanilla" as well as her chrome bonnet scoop. Lately she's morphed into "Scoop-di-doop" . Who knows what will happen next?

I remember considering Brulee, Pepperpot, Gen 11 from the novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Slarti from Douglas Adams. . . Have fun with the names!
