they are not so much silly names, but bad translations that haven't been changed.

Always kinda liked the name of the AMC Gremlin. Bearing in mind the rest of the car was that terrible the name is the only part anyone could concievably like... The name really should have been kept for a small pocket hot hatch. Small nippy and evil  Instead it's forever tainted by the lashup that was the AMC model.

Not a car, but the Yamaha TDM always struck me as a rather unfortunate name for what's supposed to be an adrenaline filled mode of transport.

Well you'd hope so i mean at least it looks like a terrace. But a bad one at that!
I would've loved to been in the meeting at Suzuki when they were discussing the name for it!!
