New Name for the Esprit
Discussion
This ought to be fun. I remember a while back when Lotus was holding a contest to see who can come up with the best name beginning with an "E" for the M250.
So if you had to name the next generation Esprit, only names with an "E", what would it be?
I personally cant think of any that fit well. I even wen as far as to look through a dictionary, and it seems Lotus has scooped up and used the best "E" names so far.
Obviously Esprit is by far the best name, I like Exige too, but alas they are taken. Hell, Europa is an awesome name as well.
To come up with something new is challenging.
Its almost as if I would need to see the car before naming it you know.

Ok,
Here's my list of names along with their historical meaning:
Eber........... One that Passes
Eden........... Pleasure, Delight
Elath.......... Strength
Elhanen........ Grace
Elim........... The Strong
Emims.......... Formidable
Enoch.......... Disciplined
Esrom.......... Dart of Joy
Ethni.......... Strong
Ezel........... One who Runs
I could probably come with more, but these are just off the top of my head. Of these, I like Esrom and Ezel the best. Happy Motoring! ...Jim'85TE

Egg - Wouldn't be the first time Lotus has laid one.
Ensure - What my meals will likely consist of by the time I can afford the Esprit replacement.
Entropy - Since the dictionary defines it as "a measure of the disorder that exists in a system" this would best sum up how the first crack at the electrical system will likely turn out.
and of course there is always
Epitaph - Lotus' that is, if they don't sell the number of Elises they expect, and the Esprit replacement isn't "all that".
