What's in a name?
Years ago, Harley Davidson made bikes with lots of letters in their model designation, one such was the XLCR. I have only just found out that it is actually pronounced as a word:
Excelsior I always referred to it as the X L C R, I feel stupid.

Re: What's in a name?
The CR was for Cafe Racer if I recall correctly.
