OK, folks...here it is...the final list of nominations. I have removed the names of the nominators, so that it does not play a part in the voting process.
Here is how it will work:
Everyone should submit to me, via email, their top three votes, in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place order. Each 1st place vote will net 3 points for that name, each 2nd place vote will net 2 points, and each 3rd place vote will net 1 point.
Please include the name and the number.
And please, vote only once. I don't want to have to sic my canvassing board on y'all...
1.The Love Rocket
2.R.U.E.-Sir Topham Hatt of Thomas The Tank Engine calls his trains
Really Useful Engines, and clearly your car will also
provide a Really Useful Engine. "Rue" is also the French
word for road, so you almost have a double meaning there.
3.Tom, Dick, and Harry-You've heard of such sayings as "She
is friendly with any Tom, Dick, and Harry," and so forth
(meaning she's friendly with everybody). I just think it would
be amusing to name a single entity Tom, Dick, and Harry.

Ok, there it is. 141 nominations. Plus one...my nomination. I nominate the name "Elijah" for my car. I waited until the end, and do not feel as though you need to placate my ego by voting for my suggestion.
I hope that you all enjoy this as much as I have.
Oh, yeah, please feel free to tell anybody else about this.
Forward it to whom ever you want, and let them know what to
do. Here is the address of the contest, so anybody can join in
the fun.
