2012 Cooper Baker Street Edition, so I figured Sherlock Holmes was most suitable.

We have 3. Solid Gold R50 - Nugget; Pure Silver R50 - Ingot and Pure Silver R55 Bullion.
Each MINI has its own MINI Bulldog Pup (Genuine Accessory out here) with its name tag.
(Pathetic, I know!! )

Ours is Sgt. Pepper because it's pepper white and British. So why not.

Mine is Turkish, after Jason Statham's character in ******. No reason behind it other than it seemed to fit when I thought about it one day while driving.

Mine is Iggy. Its inspiration comes from super Mario bros for the super Nintendo. The enemies were called koopa kids (or as I now spell it, Coopa kids) and one of the "Coopa" kids was named iggy

Kurtster- awesome. I originally wanted to do a TARDIS theme myself, but didn't think the "Police Box" on top would fly... Heh.

Ended up with Wonder Woman, named for obvious reasons!

Bindi.

I originally had her named after Steve Irwin's dog. Dog was so loved and awesome that he named his daughter after her.

Then I read that "Bindi" in India stands for strength and courage, and is typically, but not always, symbolized in a red dot. Literally defined, it is a "small drop, particle, or dot"

So, my little red dot of a car...

Love it! Until I found NAM and read this thread, I was about half embarrassed that I'd named mine to begin with. No longer!

My MINI is Pretje. I've been studying Dutch for the past couple of years, and "pretje" means basically "small bit of fun," as in, "Hij houdt van een pretje." (Translated: He loves a bit of fun.) It really seemed to fit the MINI experience so perfectly... Although to be clear, the MINI is the "small" bit—the "fun" is actually quite large, I'm finding. ;-)
