Name that Scooter: The finalists!

[ThomCat]

I've informally screened the proposed names with two coworkers and my roommate. Here are the finalists.

It's only fair that DUers name the scooter because DUers paid for it. Ideally I'd like a name that reflects well upon DU somehow. :)

Thank you, everyone who proposed other cool names.

[ghostsofgiants]

1. I'm bullish on Kudzu.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. I hate Kudzu. I *love* NCC-1701-DU!

But then, I'm a Star Trek geek.

[NewJeffCT]

3. since I'm a geek, I like the NCC-1701DU one,

seems good

[From The Ashes]

4. NCC-1701 DU...

5. Farhad, a Persian name, means elation or happiness.

That was from Wikipedia

11. None of the people I asked

who helped me screen the names liked that idea. :(

I thought it was really cool.

[A HERETIC I AM]
