Let's not forget those classic names of "Tiffany" and "Mercedes", either. ;)-- Nanaea

I dont know about Tiffany, but Mercedes is a bona fide name predating the car. I remember reading that Herr Daimler of Herr Benz (or whatever) named his car after a Spanish beauty he fell head over heels for.

And I imagine that either Herr Daimler or Herr Benz was the originator of the old line: "Women are like cars -- the more expensive stuff you pump into them, the better they run."Beware of women named "Mercedes" -- I'm certain they're mericless. :)-- Nanaea

Actually the people of Spain affectionately refer to their (Greek) Queen Sofia as a Citroen 2CV. Not particularly attractive, by very cool, comfy, low-maintenance cost and extremely dependable :))
