Don't get me wrong : I don't think that giving nicknames to a project (even with some spelling issues) is a bad thing. The problem is that it's hard to remember which version it's associated with, and it may have some local interpretation which may be embarassing; One interesting example is the Mitshubishi Pajero car : try to sell this car in spain ! (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajero)

Let's stick to the version numbers, it's just plain ok.

Since we're talking about bad car names anyway, I would like bring this little flower from Honda to broader audience. When they in 2001 released news of the new model, now called Jazz, with the original name Honda Fitta they didn't do proper research. I Scandinavian terms (Denmark / Norway in particular) Fitta means slut or cunt, and the slogan was:

"Honda Fitta - small on the outside, but it feels big once you're in it"
"Honda Fitta - an everyday pleasure"

Now, consider the marked for that model... :-D
LOL !!!
