I was going to say something about police cars being more likely for Jellicle cats ("Jellicle cats are black." "And white!") but that's probably not going to translate since the police cars on British TV that I've seen have been largely that day-glo yellow color.
I admit that the last car I named, I named with a mnemonic for the license plate. My current car's license number has letters which would require a mixed linguistic effort... probably between Welsh and Bantu.
Normally my naming of things is for knitting projects. Named knitting projects get worked on, unnamed ones do not. I try to name them after obscure mythology. Most of the independent artist made yarns have odd names too. So, a mundane example, green yarn called "Sherwood forest" made into a hat, would be a project called, "Robin Hood", but mittens would be called "Tuckers" (no one really wears mittens, they just tuck them into pockets.)
