The naming of cars is a difficult matter
It isn't one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a Stang must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES...

With fulsome apologies to Eliot

The new vehicle needs a woman's name. This is the ancient tradition first established by H.B. Halicki and his beloved Eleanor, and who am I to break with it? On top of that, it also needs a Homeric appellation. I need a woman's name that you can associate with a deep, throaty purr that sounds like it's telling you, "I know you want to fuck me, but I'm far out of your league, so I'm just going to sit here and make these purring noises to taunt you."
