Best and Worst Product Names

I was reading a current post regarding power cords and it struck me that some of the product names were rather silly sounding. Am I really supposed to take seriously a product named "Voodoo Mana"? Granted, there is a certain cleverness to naming a cable, the EEL, but what's up with the BIRTH? Maybe manufacturers, like rock groups, are running out of good names? What are the best, or worst product names you've come across?

My vote for best name goes to Martin-Logan for calling the replacement to the Quest the Request. Also kudos to AHT for their Non-Signature Phono Stage. Thumbs down the Jeff Rowland for using the same name (Coherence) for two different products. Very confusing.

I will add that Rosinate Dark Matter is about as cool a name as any for vibration control. Its just mysterious sounding

"The Infinity Epsilon designed by Cary Christy" I always thought was classy.

Whatjd is right, any new digital format is bound to have a stupid name, because it will be nothing more than letters with at least one "D."

And Wilson Audio completely sucks with all there names.

I always liked it when Berning Amps and Fried speakers were in the same hallway at CES. Just saying the names in that order sounds like a catastrophe. Wonder if the combo was done in by MIT Terminator?

Passing the David Manley room at CES always enticed me to do my "Irish Spring" dialect, and comment: "Those are very Manley amps, and I like them too."

John_1, "buffy kit" is not such a good name when considering that a "buffy" is street slang for someone who trades oral sex for crack cocaine.

I like "Quintescence Black Hole". Great name for a sub.
