Freida.

A car or boat should always have a lady's name....for good luck.

Also because I am a closet ABBA fan and not only is that one of the singer's names, the previous owner was Swedish, too!

 

Mine's the Spirit of Abby because my cat Abby passed away in the back seat of it on the way home from the vet. She was very sick with kidney problems, but we had hoped it was only an infection and could be treated.

 

I have always felt a loose connection to Elwood P. Dowd from the movie "Harvey", partially because we share a name, and partially because I can relate to the character. Elwood's best friend was his invisable, 6 foot rabbit, named Harvey, and Harvey is a Pooka

According to Wikipedia, When humans are enticed onto a Pooka's back, it can give them a wild ride. Though the Pooka enjoys confusing and often terrifying humans, it is considered to be benevolent, and will do its rider (driver) no real harm. The Pooka is a creature of the mountains and hills.

Sounds like a Mini to me!!

 

Fizzgig -

The all fuzz and teeth character from Jim Henson's movie "The Dark Crystal". My son came up with the name. When I asked why, he said "because Fizzgig is small but fierce."

 

I <3 The Dark Crystal!!! "Dolah, Fizzgig, Dolah"

 

Fly'n Brick is what the lone mini in a sports car club I belonged to back in the '60s was called. It got that name for the way it made its way around an autoX course. When we got our MINI, I thought to use that name and registered it on NAM. After a few weeks of driving, though, we discovered differently. We soon learned that the little guy was a him and the name Frisky came to us while motoring topless one day. Who knew? So, that is what the plate on his little butt says.

 

BLUE DEVIL.....also my forum name.

Why....mine is blue duh and Kid Rock's song "Devil w/ Out a Cause"

 

I have a British Racing Green Cooper S with a black top. Apparently insects like it. I came out to my car at work one morning to see a large pale green bug perched on the back window. Drove from one work building to another, the bug stayed with me. Went home after work and told the wife about the bug. She looked it up and discovered it was a katydid.
Woke up that evening to go to work. Went out to the car and saw that the katydid had rode home with me, as she was now sitting on my driver's side window. I drove the 12 or so miles to work while the katydid tucked up under the rear spoiler to avoid the wind. I could see her head poking out in my rear view. Drove to work, parked and took pictures. Katy finally got off my car when I parked in the other parking lot where she jumped on.
So, if you haven't figured it out by now, my Mini's name is Katy. I have pics if anyone is interested in seeing them.

 

Of course we want to see them. Hop to it.

 

I uploaded three of them to my gallery.

 

KOBAL.

Before the fall, Kobal was the archangel of laughter in heaven. Kobal allied with Lucifer, and in Hell became the Demon Prince of Dark Humor. He is sometimes referred to as the Entertainment Director of Hell, and is the patron of comedians. My license plate reads KOBAL, and the frame says "ARCHANGEL OF LAUGHTER" on the top and "DEMON PRINCE OF DARK HUMOR" in larger letters on the bottom.

 

RIGBY!

After The Beatles song.

 

My 09 S Cabrio HzB is named Suzie. Just because she looks like a Suzie to me. No other reason. Boring I know but ?!?!

 

My current MINI's name is Itercide. Which is a mash up of old latin words, Iter from roada, cide from killer. So it basically means killer of roads. My future MINI is still yet to be named.

 

Thats siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.....

 

Wow! Is K in the Bible? All I can say is I'm sure he must have had something to do with an old programming language--and was laughing his head off as I struggled with it.

 

No, not in the Bible -- pure apocrypha, as is so much stuff about Lucifer and his buds.

 

LOVE IT!!!!

 

My Mini S: Babycakes
My husband's S: Stella

 

Hello all,

I am new to the forums and thought I would chime in with my Mini's name. I call her Cricket.

 

Well...welcome to NAM..

 

How did she get her name?

 

How did you find the names?

 

"Pepper" got her name because she's a high-strung, demanding redhead. When you first see her she's just cute, but once you start to play... hold on!

 

She's British Green and my son suggested Grasshopper. When I heard that it reminded me of the shows Kung Fu and Karate Kid. Not that cute. Then I suggested Cricket. She's small and pretty darn hard to catch!
