It was either Brunnhilde or Wotan, I kinda liked the idea of a stout
female name for a German Wagner, er, wagon. My daughter persists in
calling her/it Dieter. None of these names are cutesie-poo, no one
would ever name a Benz a cutesie-poo name, it just would not be right.
Maybe a Neon or a Bug, but never a Benz.

WHEW! I never dreamed that expressing my disdain for the puerile practise

such a massive response.
BTW, the American Heritage dictionary lists "Brunhild" (Icelandic) as well
as Brunnhilde (Wagnerian).
I love this list!

Hey Casey...have enough rain yet?
From what I see on the news, you've had almost 30 days of rain.
We, on the other hand, have been 86 days without rain.

I'm thinking of naming my 300TD, Brownie. That way, whenever I drive
it, I can sit down and say "You're doing a heckuva job, Brownie".
