Being a big fan of "Family Guy" and being pressured to name the car (I had never named a car before either), I decided to go with "Stewie" for the 05. After getting the 07, and being a fan of Gordon Ramsey, I noticed he called things "flash" meaning "showy" and that seemed right. So the SS is Flash.

I'd never named a car before either, but my MINI told me two things- that I was buying her after I test drove (never knew I'd buy a Chili Red car!) & that her name was Lesley. It fits & has an English ring to it. Funny, though, it has to be that spelling or it isn't right! (I'm so glad other people are in the same situaton!)

My wife is digging the "Fezek" suggestion. She had to explain it to me.
She has also suggested "Chalk" since it's a Sidewalk. Maybe if we had chosen a white MINI. Dweeby engineering humor on her part I suppose.
If Jet Black had still been an option we might have called it "Nonemore Black"
Our front runners now appear to be "Honey Ryder" and "Sugar Magnolia."

I think BlueBelle is a great name!!
Maybe BlueBelle II 
My mom helped us name her. Our family came from Scotland and when my folks were back there they fell in love with the flower. Also Belle Blue in German means "beautiful blue". After trying a few on her it just seemed to fit ( and I think she likes it 
)

My husband named his Rita, from the Beatles song 'Lovely Rita' since she drives a Mini Cooper. Also we both love margaritas, and she is green.
For my PW/B, I've always wanted to name it Dangermouse - DM for short - he's a British cartoon character, a spoof on James Bond and other spy movies, and of all colors, off-white. Plus mouse just goes with small. So if it seems like a boy, and it fits, I'll probably go with that. For a girl name I kind of like Sophie. I'll definitely wait til after I get the car to name it.
Our Subaru wagon is just called the Scoobie. My first 'car' was a small pickup truck that my mom had named Midnight Blue. She named all her cars. Never thought too much about car names til the minis came along.

From my post in the week 4 support group:
I've been on a Nyquil bender for the last couple of days, gotta love that cold season, and as such was subject to bouts of lucidity. I was watching tv and talking on the phone with my dad who was asking about the mini. Instead of saying that the mini should be here this weekend or the next I substituted Ferris for mini. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was playing in the background and it is one of my all time favorite movies so after thinking about it for a few minutes the name stuck.
