My mini is called Tom, it started as Tom Thumb because he's so small, then the name stuck because of Tommy COOPER. He is most definitely a boy.

I must say SMURFN I'm am glad I am not the only one out there that likes smurfs - what's your story?

DN3DGamer · Apr 29th, 2004, 03:04 PM

My is MC's name is Aya aka Ayaya. She's a girl.

I loved smurfs from childhood. Recently resumed collecting them about 3-4 years ago, most of the childhood ones were damaged or thrown out. I now have ~400 smurfs on shelves in my "study"

Ghillie has turned out to be most assuredly male but the Nav system for now is called Betsy.
Started out calling it

ing Betty (humm Female Dog) after the first voice warning systems in aircraft "PULL UP! PULL UP! TERRAIN! PULL UP!".... Then shifted it slightly to

ing (Female Dog) Betsy after my sister... then after getting to like it (except for the american accent) went to just Betsy.... I hope that we will one day get A Proper British voice... if female It will be Liz and if I get the hoped for Male British voice then the Sat Nav and the MINI can have the same name 'Ghillie' ... well perfect would be a male Scots accent... but even I do not expect to get that!

Was that number plate purely by chance? If not, it's brilliant. Brut45 would be a reasonable nickname too then - the great smell of 'Enry - Henry Cooper that it is...

BooperCooperS · Apr 29th, 2004, 08:39 PM

Her name is "Betty", named after....yup....Betty Boop. She sure looks good in RED.

Paul! · Apr 29th, 2004, 10:13 PM

Mine's... erm... Cosmo. Go ahead and guess my paint combo!

Oh, and she's a girl. In the Navy, all 'vessels' are female. Forgot why, but who am I to question tradition?

Kirsten · May 5th, 2004, 06:46 AM

Alistair!

I wanted a British name and I took this particular spelling to honor the memory of the late Alistair Cooke... a most distinguished British transplant! Fun and charming like his namesake... I hope my MINI lives to be 95

Unlike convention where most cars are named after girls' names...mine is named Dax. It's on the license plate, and i just like the name. It looks like a Dax to me.

Electric Sheep · May 5th, 2004, 10:55 AM

My Cooper's called Audrey, in honour of my absolute favourite actress of all time, Audrey Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn was classy, stylish and just plain wonderful, much like MINIs are.

poki · May 5th, 2004, 11:22 AM

Cookie Monster.

Because he is wide and blue and a monster.

and because my surname is sometimes Cook.

appmacguy · May 5th, 2004, 01:55 PM

Mines called Henry I got him last Thursday 29th April and a friend who also had a Mini said I had to name him as I usually dont name my cars. I then realised he is a Cooper so he is Henry Cooper! (Famous UK boxer)!!!

Loving owning him so far!

CoryB · May 5th, 2004, 02:33 PM

My 04 MCS is named Trevor. No particular reason other than it sounds like a good British name.

Windshadow · May 5th, 2004, 02:39 PM

My Ghillie and I are on the first of 2 long road trips planed for this year
http://www.mini2.com/forum/new-york-new-england-region/57942-first-big-road-trip-has-begun.html
He is named after the Scottish gamekeeper hunting companion and guide as he is my companion and guide in my quest for my personal retirement Shangri-La

ChrisBray · May 5th, 2004, 04:04 PM

Our coop arrived at the weekend and after much deliberating (henry, tommy, cabana etc) we decided on Tommy. BUT as there are a lot of tommys already out there, and the lady and I are both Magnum PI fans, ours has been christened: TC !!

Will hopefully be able to post pics of the 'birth' soon but borrowed dad's digital camera and he seems to have 'lost' them whilst trying to send them to me.

AmRov · May 5th, 2004, 04:17 PM

"Scooper" is the name for my little '04 PW/PW MCS... Just sort of worked.

My daughter likes to shout from the backseat -- "Lookout everyone! Scooper's on the loose!"

gone_motoring · May 5th, 2004, 09:33 PM

My MCS is going to be nickname the "Beast" as we were looking for something contradictory to its cuteness when thinking about available choices for his personalized plate. (Kentucky has an online search to tell you if personalized tags are taken)

....and of course my MINI does have the JCW kit, which makes him more beastly!

CoryB · May 5th, 2004, 09:39 PM

AmRov,

The phrase in your signature graphic is what I was originally trying to get for a license plate. Unfortunately someone in Virginia already has S CAR GO as their plate.

robmac · May 5th, 2004, 09:54 PM

wow. this thread's just reached 100 posts.
there was me thinking i was odd before i started it! sounds like there's a lot of odd people on here!
