It kind of feels like we’re running out of car names, doesn’t it?
We’ve named them after animals, clouds, shapes, and zodiac signs. We’ve used random letters and numbers. We’ve even made up words that mean absolutely nothing.
The problem is, not every name that gets brought up in these creative meetings is gold. In fact, some of them suck. I spoke with secret spies I have placed at every company in the auto industry last week to find out the worst names that never made it out of their brainstorming sessions. Here’s what they told me.
