Why do scooters have silly names?

Razz, BeeWee, Beaver, Tee, Lead, Majesty, Beverly, Hacker and of course, the unforgettable Benda BD125T.

A big scooter market is for females. They are unlikely to buy something called the 'Thruster' or 'Penetrator'

Although Harley are somehow able to sell wide glide, duo glide, fat boy, v rod etc etc from a catalogue that has names that sound more like they're dildos than bikes.

Perhaps it's the silly names that attracts Jamie Oliver?

So names like Sprint, Drifter, Chief, Apache, Maverick, Hustler, Atlas, Commando, Dominator etc are sensible names?

Trophy is a sensible name as the first of the line was a replica (well you know, with your eyes scrunched up from the other side of the road) of a bike that won an ISDT trophy, Bonneville because the engine (actually it was a T110) st a record there... LeMans because thats a place where it raced with some distinction... But things like the names above and Jota (a spanish dance or something) just sound manly and aggressive..
