Need help naming our MC

Liquid yellow with a white roof, sport package, cold package, no sunroof. Being built now.

The name that came to mind for me was Ernie. My wife hates it. She countered with Nugget, which I could live with though it's so gender neutral. So we agreed to put it to a vote

Ernie or Nugget?

Nice, thanks, but we've narrowed it down to those two...

Or how about wait until you pick your licence plate? It might have a letter & number combination that looks a bit like a name!

Here in Vermont we are lucky enough to have plates that stay with the owner, not the car. So we'll be keeping our FO PAWS plates. Explanation: we rescue and rehabilitate horribly abused golden retrievers before finding them good homes. Of course in the process we sometimes fall in love with a particular dog and simply can't give it up. So we have six very happy golden retrievers (and three very mean cats) sharing our New England farmhouse. Each of them was a mistake, hence FO PAWS.

BTW...Excellent colour choice!...(Of course I'm just a bit biased!) Greetings from "Sunshine"!



Why don't you turn this thread into a public poll?

Love your number plate and what wonderful things you are doing for those dogs. I am originally from Vermont (Hardwick) but now I happily reside in Melbourne Australia!! My husband and I are anxiously awaiting our BRG MCS which is due to arrive on the docks today! We named our car DEMINI (Debbie and Eddies MINI)

I think Nugget is a more appropriate choice for a car that is in Vermont - could Ernie stand those cold winters???

Wow, Hardwich to Down Under -- now there's a change for you!!! My wife always jokes that Vermonters who go too far get lost and are forced to marry into the local population. Love the name of your MCS; did our local mountains have anything to do with your color choice?

Yeah, I'm leaning toward Nugget myself. Maybe Nugget for a short name and Ernie M.C. Nugget as the full name.

It is not how fast you go, but how you go.
