Some automakers have selected a silly or inappropriate name for a new model. What is a good name that hasn't been used yet?

I wondered whether Ford Phallopian might become a popular model - assuming someone had a liking for Fords, for some reason.

      Great question, but there are potentially thousands of words/names that might fit as answers, far too boundless and too numerous to dream up or list.

    Yes, but one dream will suffice Mr D. I had an interesting dream last night, I'll tell you about it sometime ['Oh, please don't, he pleaded']. 
    (Oh no, my wife is swiffering the floor singing 'Here comes Santa Clause' again. Pardon me while I just go and shut her up.)

      I’ll bet it was either a two-word rhyming phrase, or a particular reference from a Quentin Tarantino film.

    How about the Dodge ORIWILLCRUSHYOU, or the Dodge RAMORBERAMMED. 
    Or the Ford CANARDLY - freewheels down the hill OK, fords the river OK . . . but canardly get up the other side.
    But sometimes the names ignore the most memorable characteristic of the automobile - there's the Flaming FORD PINTO, and the Ballet scissor-leap-into-the-ditch RENAULT DAUPHINE (the TATRA 87 too, though that was a car ahead of its time in almost all other ways).

    And competing with the Ford Phallopian is the Toyota Priapus and the Renault Coil.

    It's said that Rolls-Royce were going to call one model the Silver Mist.... until they found what 'mist' is in German.
