Good news: we just bought a new car. Well, not "new" as in "can I smell the interior?" new. But new for us. And we're very excited!
It's a 2002 Ford Ka. It's Italian (born in Naples) and has only had one owner.
It's purplish-blue (also known as "Deep Navy") and it has lots of the usual features (power windows/locks/steering, CD player, ABS, airbags, etc.). It has 36,000 km on the odometer and is superfun to drive. It's very Euro. It's inexplicable, but everytime I'm in it, I put on a little German accent and feeling like singing "Da, da, da!"
It's got a small engine (1.4 liters), but is pretty eco-friendly. The unfortunate slogan is "Nothing stands out like a Ford Ka." Whatever that means.
But here's the problem: it has no name.
We need your help coming up with one and will consider just about anything, especially names uncomplimentary to Italians.
Attached are some pictures to help you....

We also received via phone these names:
1) Helmut (a nice German name that sounds like "helmet," something that it looks a lot like)
2) Sumo (because the car looks like it's wearing a diaper)
Li'l Bean.
