The naming of the Ka

So, the purchase of the Ka has provoked much discussion here and elsewhere[1] (bunch of petrolheads and weirdoes), and Jennie has decided that she wants to name it[2]. She has a preferred option[3]. I'm not too keen[4]. So I thought I'd enlist some help from you lot[5]. There now follows a poll[6]:
[Poll #1231865]
I mean, seriously, why would you want to give your car a name, let alone a silly pun? Oh, wait, I'm in Yorkshire, it's Jennie. Combine the two and I'm doomed, aren't I?

Oh, the other scary thing? She went to the post office today to pay her wage in, and I met her at Sainsbury's to do some shopping. She'd bought a copy of the Highway Code and some L plates. Be afraid...

[1] A friends locked post at her personal journal.
[2] It's a really stupid idea of a name.
[3] I mean it, really really stupid.
[4] I hate it.
[5] Help me oh friends list, you're my only hope.
[6] As always, non-LJers will need to login with an OpenID or create an LJ account to vote.

Ka-9, perhaps. I would have fun going "Ulrika-Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka!" for about three days and then get annoyed. Starbug would have been great if it was green, but Just Wrong for a purple car.

What's "drut"? I've only seen it as a username on a forum, and never knew what it meant. Is it another Yorkshire thing? ;)

I have no clue about Drut, nothing to do with me.

And yeah, Starbug would be great if it was green.

Drut is the spider from The Trap Door, and you sir are a philistine for not knowing!

It also spells turd backwards. Yoj!

DOH! I knew I should know that.
