The naming of the Ka

[matgb]

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) If, as you say, SB has a preferred choice, this poll is a waste of time. She has a history of having polls when she already has made up her mind.

2) Be grateful my daughter isn't taking part in the naming. She named our car 'Vanderstyne'. It stuck, too.

3) There is no 3.

4) Perhaps SB's dad can teach her?

1) She has made up her mind, but a) it's ammo for me to ignore it, b) it's made for a fun post and conversation and c) I like messing around with poll results (and I like Preference Revealing polls with good/bad lists, makes for fun stats)

2) Ouch.

3) Yes there is

4) I asked him earlier, he didn't look too keen on the idea, but will consider it.
