Submit a name for Tsikot PhUV!

[Syuryuken]

Parang mas ok yung mga pangalan ng bundok o kaya yung mga Philippine animals.

Minsan lang me nagsalita ng seryoso:

There is a trend nowadays for dynamic-sounding, pseudo-english names...
eg: Innova, Avanza, Alterra, Sportivo, Fortuner... Wala na yung Tamaraw FX brand... it apparently has served its purpose.

Notice this sad fact:
The name 'Tamaraw FX' began use on a relatively bare-bones vehicle (mga cab-chassis and HSPURs, remember them?). The name was gradually phased out as the vehicle added feature upon feature through the years. Hence, I noticed that there seems to be this concept that a native-sounding name connotes poorer quality and/or status for the vehicle... (eg: the status of the Proton Wira in Malaysia)

I believe this is some sort of inferiority complex that we have to somehow adapt to, whether we like it or not. The bright side is that we are not alone... even Ferrari had its post-war Superamericas and Daytonas... these definitely are not Italian names. Maybe someday, malampasan din yang complex na yan, if we ever do get a real world-class car industry...
Maybe then we can dare to name a car 'F360 Marikina'...

Back to the name:
Aside from being 'dynamic', I think the name has to connote some trait that people aspire for...

My humble contribution for a multi-passenger AUV:

Brand: an acronym... ADT o ha? Parang astig diba? (meaning is Auto Design - Tsikot... of course example lang ito, napulot ko sa forum heading... ehehe... I'll think up of something catchier later on)

Model: Pegasus... eheste, Roadstar pala... (taken na ba itong name? I know there is an I-H Loadstar)

Quoted below for ease of reference is sir dprox's list:

Why don't we just collect names according to categories?
Idugtong niyo na lang dito pag-reply ninyo para di na kailangan bumalik sa page 1.
When our list reaches say 100, then we can criticize them one by one and see which one survives.
