Made even worse because most people call it a Kay Ay, which annoys me a lot
for some reason.

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!
