Not sure exactly how you define idiocy in a name, but the most inappropriate of all time has to be Austin Allegro.

I define the name as idiotic if it's a random collection of syllables with no particular meaning, other than fixing the name in the minds of the car buying public. E.g. what does 'Vectra' mean??? probably produced by a random generator. Allegro isn't so idiotic according to this definition. And remember the TV ads: "Allegro has VROOOOM", LOL!
