British names for men
I'm still trying to figure out if my MCS has a name. It occured to me today that it might be a Brit boy name, but I don't know too many. Y'all have any suggestions? I'm hoping if someone suggests the right one for my car, I'll just know it.

Simon. The first British male I ever met was a young man named Simon (he had bad teeth
, but he was super nice
).

SweetTea, have you decided on a name yet? From your choices, I especially like "LOGAN" because one of my favorite movies was Logan's Run.

Well, "Ian" is a classic British name, although technically it's Scottish for "John" and I really can't imagine it as a car name.

You could try Randy, but people may not be able to tell whether that's a real name or a descriptive adjective.

Giles is the name of my MCS. He's named after Rupert Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer; a proper British gentleman who can still kick butt! I liked seeing his name come up in this thread.
Of course, Rupert's not a bad name, either......

Randy (the adjective) seems to fit most of the MINI owners I know.
