This Little Guy Needs a Name!
Hola Readers! I’m currently sailing off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico… ready to embark on our final day trip before we turn around for home. Our adventure aboard the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas has been EPIC! It’s been such a treat spending time with my family, enjoying the splendor of the largest cruise ship in the world, and of course, witnessing how Fisher Price makes family travel a cinch.
Now, before I leave you for the day, I couldn’t let another moment go by without introducing you to the newest member of our family!
(Do not adjust your computer screens. You did NOT stumble upon some car buff’s blog – the following pictures are just me appreciating a fine machine when I see one.)
You may remember that a few years ago, “Scarlett” joined our family – a red MINI Cooper with sassy white bonnet stripes. She was my favourite gal for zipping around in – and I must say, she made parking in downtown Toronto a LOT easier! And, of course you know about Ryder’s fascination with MINI Coopers, encouraged by spending copious amounts of time zipping around with Mommy.
Well, when the time came to trade Scarlett in, I just couldn’t give up the FUN of driving a MINI Cooper. Hey, I’ve become accustomed to taking corners at 50 km/hr… how was I supposed to give that up? Plus, there was no way Ryder would ever forgive us if we didn’t indulge in another one of his favourite cars.
Hence, just before we left for the #FisherPriceonRoyal press trip, we picked up the newest member of our family! Meet our Black MINI Cooper Bakerstreet!
LOVE my new MINI! Special thanks to the entire staff at MINI Oakville – especially Brad and Mark – for making this purchase the BEST ever. Seriously, all my shopping should be this effortless!
Now we’ve *almost* settled on a name for our newest addition, but I’d love to hear your suggestions! And in case you’re wondering, our new car is a DUDE, so boy names only please!
Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll be back to chat next week! xx
Nice! First name that came to mind when I saw this car was ‘Henry’.
Love it – Henry. That could grow on me ;)
I am so jellie!!!!!!
Lena Love your new wheels!
How about JET!
Thanks Allie! Love Jett – with two T’s!
He’s beautiful! Congratulations on the newest addition to your family! I am going to retract my previous answer of 007 and suggest Elvis cause this baby makes me week in the knee. I’m all shook up!
Gawd I love you! Hahaha thanks!
Congrats. What about just Cooper.
Smart and to the point. Thank you!
Beautiful car! Charlie ?
Duly noted! Thanks so much Margaret!
He looks like an Edgar for some reason :) Congrats, you have good taste in cars.
Thanks Cassandra! I’m sure your taste is just as impeccable :)
Neat little car. Lance?
Good one. Very knightly!
Herbie. I have no idea why I’m naming it after the VW beetle of the Disney movies, but why not??
Why not indeed! He does kind of look like one – or maybe Herbie’s bad, older brother!
Charles
Michael :)
Noted, Helen and Karla! Thank you!
Congrats, he’s a beaut! I am so amused that so many readers suggested Charlie/Charles — I was going to suggest that name because that’s the name of my car!
Hahaha that’s great Victoria! And happy to see that your car is a dude, too!
Jhett (like Scarlett & Rhett and for jet black ;)
LOVE it!
Since it’s a Bakerstreet Mini, then I would consider a Holmesian name. Perhaps “John H” for Watson, or any of the available inspectors’ names might do.
That’s for the awesome inspiration!
Gorgeous car! How about Black Beauty?! :)
Bethoven
Frank :) That is one beautiful car!
Great suggestions, Sophia, J and Brenda!
I’m with comments that suggested “just Cooper.” Anderson Cooper. Sterling Cooper (Mad Men). It’s sexy and sleek. Love the black rims!
Cooper IS very sexy and sleek. And we love the black rims too!
I just test drove one. It’s a great car.
Oooh, it really is! MINI4LIFE!
Kanye
Yeah, yeah…. don’t know if Ryder still likes that one…
Is BAKER a manly enough name? :)
Hmmm… not sure. I’ll put it down as a “maybe”.
What about Damon.
Or Stefan! :)
LOL! LOVE them both!
Nice ride! I’m thinking Ebony :D
Great suggestion Patti!
LOVE this. I So want a mini but it’s just not feasible with the brood of kids that my uterus is all AHHHHHHHHHH BABBBBIIIIIEESSS.
I will live vicariously through your awesome ride.
I like coop!
Hahaha totally laughed out loud, Lori! Yes, our MINI days are numbered – but thank goodness they have family-sized versions ;)
Awesome looking car Lena. How about Liam or perhaps Lenny?
I like Liam a lot! Thanks Marissa!
I love MINI Coopers!! Good choice for a car! I’d suggest Sherlock, but a brown one would be more fitting. So, I’ll go with Davin.
Oooh… a dangerous and sleek name. Love!
Very nice car
