What did you name your Mini and why that name?

The Tick (like the superhero)
It's the right shade of blue.

 

Mine is a tribute to the late Mollie Sugden (big fan) who referred to her MINI as "meMINI".

 

Your juxtaposition of "electric" and "mayhem" reminds me of a term coined in a motorcycle article I once read about the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird. The writer called it an "Atomic Sewing Machine" for its huge power yet unusual smoothness.

 

I immediately thought of the Muppets band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

 

Win-E
As in Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years.

 

Winner Winner!!!
The puppeteer in me couldn’t resist.

Of course Greta is in reference to Greta Thunberg.

 

^ Greta is an awesome name in tribute to Ms. Thunberg!

 

I wish Bimmercode could rename Green+ mode to Greta.

 

YES!!!

 

Hobbes, a tribute to Bill Watterson (a favorite creator and also a play on "watts")

... and also slightly a nod to Luke Hobbs. Looking forward to when the F&F franchise makes a movie with all-electric cars

 

Knowing Hollyweird, they'll invent some sound effects for high powered EVs. Crackling electricity like the old Frankenstein movie, or like a very big Van de Graaff generator.

Having driven 2 gen-1 Honda Insights for 20 years, I was amused when the short-lived Michael Richards show pretended the gen-1 Insights were electric cars and dubbed in a humorous electric sound during this chase scene between two of these cars. The event that brings the chase to an end is hilarious (at least to this EV driver).

 

Our Mini is technically my wife’s and she named it Wall-E as she lived that movie plus he was yellow and our Mini has the yellow mirror caps etc.
I named my white Tesla Eve which is close to Eva the white robot in the Wall-e movie so I get her logic…

 

I’ve settled on Electric Boogie. I’m hoping to get a personalized plate with some form of “electric” on it. I call him “Boogie”.

 

I like it, but careful...too many misconceptions between Bougie and Booger. Neither of which are applicable to your awesome compadre!!

 

I've decided on my Buddy's name. He's The Dude. And he's definitely taking his time getting here...

 

Well, OK, since everyone else is picking names, I’ve decided to call my new little BEV best friend, “Essee”. Yes, I know, not high on the creativity chart. I should have paid more attention in creative writing class.

I figured I’d go with a non-gendered name since it has not been sufficiently determined if my MINI, or should I say MINIx, has a preferred pronoun.

Here’s Ahsoka! Why? Because she’s a bad *** Jedi!

Congratulations, @Denise C ! Ahsoka looks kick ***.

 

Meet Elinor,



Elinor is an alternate Swedish spelling of Eleanor and "el" is a shorter Swedish word for electric or electricity. I could have gone for Elin as well, but Elinor felt more suitable.


Yes, I thought I was being a bit clever and funny.
