What does your husband call his "Thing"?

Name it that. Then, when you mention the name of the car, he will not know what you are referring to, and with his ego, he will think it is his, uh, prized posession. For example:

"Honey, I want to take a ride in (name of his thing)"

"Dear, I think that (name of his thing) needs a wax job" (you will get his attention)

"Dude, How about a lube job for (name of his thing)."?

See, this serves many purposes. From this point on, and for life, he will always pay attention to you. Bet that has never happened.

Scarlett O'Hara? Feisty and fiery. Hopefully not as temperamental.

Crimson Pirate? Adventurous and Bold.

These names all have meanings of small:
  • Alida - Female - Latin - small winged one
  • Cheche - Male - African - Small Thing
  • Kiara - Female - Irish - small and dark
  • Miette - Female - Not available or unknown - Small Sweet Thing
  • Renny - Unisex - Celtic - small but mighty
  • Pauli - Female - Latin - Small
I like all of them.

Thanks for the help. Today I like the name Pedro. I think I will wait to meet mini and then decide which names fit best.

I'm still waiting for my Mini, and I'm thinking I'll pick a name once I get to know her/him.

Well duuuuuuuuh! Everyone knows you gotta look between the rear suspension arms! Didn't your MA tell you this?

How's "Tobasco"? You could shorten it to "Toby", or "Basco". "Caliente"? , "Roja or Rojo" (depending what you find with the suspension inspection.)

"Cherry", "Spot", "Millie" ......... I could go on and on with stupid names!

Sounds like a fun lovin' guy. Just don't ask him what he had to do to get all those beads. Reminds me of Mardi Gras.
