I plan on getting personalized plates that read "Beanbag", so that will be the name of my PW/B 05MCS when it finally arrives at MINI of Sterling (Virginia, US of A).

My g/f Amanda has named our S Sid. Not because he's in anyway sloth-like, but because the noise of the supercharger reminds her of his lisp in Ice Age.

As it's BEP I looked at the names of the members of the Black Eyed Peas - the only interesting one was Fergie - the girl. But that reminds me of Alex Ferguson or Sarah Ferguson so that went out the windoW

THen I though Purple Ronni - but that hasn't stuck.

Then thought about Maude or Monika, or possibly Violet - but b/f didn't like those.

So we've done a dictionary search on purple, and it's the colour that Roman Emperors used to wear. So then we looked up Roman Emperors and came up with Maximus. I've seen other people with Mini's called Max or Maximus so had to look again!!!

THink we've finally settled on Nero.

but we might change our minds again!!!

Whn I pick her up tomorrow it'll be Chiisai, Japanese for small. Which is what my little icon says as well.

Our Mini will be named Molly. No real reason...just like the name and it seems fitting for a Mini. Molly the Mini.

FELINE- WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE PICS OF YOUR MINI.

Anyone else name their MINI then end up changing it a month later? Mine was named Elvis, but as I decided to use dragons as decor for my MINI (air freshener, car seat covers will be asian dragons, and I plan a dragon decal on the sides/andor bonnet), my kids and I decided to go for a more Eastern name. I made a comment how driving my MINI made me feel lucky and happy- more at peace with things. That's when i remembered the gold statues of Buddha. Now my MINI is called Lil Buddha (or just Buddha). I'll be getting a couple of little Buddha miniatures for the dash and back.

Whats yours called?

I know its sad but the last few cars we`ve had have all been given names.

MINI`s are especially fond of having a name.

Whats yours called?

We`ve got ALICE , STIG and cant decide what to call Cooper clubsport ex JCC car-M333 JCW -he`s just TRACKBOY at the moment but we`re looking for something more catchy.

Anybody any ideas?

I haven't officially gotten my MINI yet, will be here in October, but my EB/W MCS will be named Victor. My boyfriend randomly came up with that name, and it has just stuck with me!

His name is "Hoot" and that is exactly what I'm hoping to have every time I slip behind the wheel. He's due to leave England today on the Liberty. So, we're scheduled to meet later in September if the creek don't rise.................................

I haven't got mine yet but at the moment he's called BRIAN - when he arrives in all his purple glory he might be officially renamed - to what? I haven't a clue as yet.

Our MINI is named Padre. Literally it's spanish for 'father' but in California spanish is comes from 'que padre' which basically means 'how cool.'

Cheers,
